Dua Lipa Transforms a Bottega Veneta It Bag Into a Wedding Welcome Party Dress

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner at their wedding welcome party.

There's a new metric for deciding which designer It bag is really worth the hype: whether you'd wear an homage to it on your wedding weekend. For Dua Lipa, Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato woven leather totes earn the Bag of Honor title for her Italian wedding weekend.

Her debut dress, a custom Bottega Veneta by Louise Trotter gown, transformed the stitched woven leather from her many, many travel bags into a white halter gown with a plunging open back. Plumes of white feathers and fringe—or recycled fiberglass, like on Bottega Veneta's Spring 2026 runway—cascaded from just above the signer's knees to swish along her cocktail party's stone floor.
