Dua Lipa and her husband, Callum Turner, made a glamorous entrance at the Metropolitan Opera’s opening-night gala in New York City on Monday evening.
The 31-year-old “Houdini” singer and 36-year-old British actor held hands as they arrived for the star-studded performance of Lincoln in the Bardo.
Lipa turned heads in a dramatic black Ferragamo gown from creative director Maximilian Davis’ Spring 2027 collection.
The eye-catching design shimmered with paillettes and featured an off-the-shoulder neckline and a revealing thigh-high slit.
She styled her dark hair in a sleek, swept-back look and completed the ensemble with towering Ferragamo heels.
Turner skipped the red-carpet arrivals but looked equally polished in a tailored black suit paired with formal dress shoes.
Dua Lipa, 31, and husband Callum Turner, 36, brought plenty of glamour to the Metropolitan Opera’s opening-night gala in New York City on Monday evening
Based on George Saunders’ 2017 novel, Lincoln in the Bardo unfolds across a single night as President Abraham Lincoln confronts the death of his young son, Willie.
Inside the event, Lipa spoke about her love of opera.
“Opera really just touches on all our human emotions, you know, love and grief and loss and ambition and hope and all these things that make it so special. So I think it’s just about surrendering and I love that,” she said.
The appearance came shortly after the singer attended the opening-night gala at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where she watched a performance of La Traviata last month.
Amy Poehler, Bowen Yang, Andrew Nixon and Kate Walsh were among the other notable guests at Monday’s event.
Earlier this month, Lipa and Turner were spotted enjoying a romantic dog walk through New York City.
The couple stopped for coffee during their stroll with Golo, their Rottweiler-Labrador mix.
Lipa and Turner married in June and appeared every inch the happy newlyweds as they walked hand-in-hand.

The pair first married in a legal ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall in May, and just one week later they jetted to Italy for their grand wedding.
She told Vogue Italia: ‘Our wedding day was magical. We received so much advice, but we decided to follow just two suggestions: to experience the day as though we were guests ourselves, and to keep finding each other throughout the crowd, never losing sight of one another. That way, we created so many memories together.’
Discussing how she navigates balancing her work and personal life, Lipa added: ‘I’m very good at finding a balance between work, hobbies, and family.
‘I’ve never put my ambition aside, and I’m fortunate to be with someone who loves working as much as I do. We understand and support each other’.
‘To me, he’s family. Our creative language is unique. When we make decisions together, it’s as if we share the same brain – we follow the same instincts.’
Dua also shared that her newfound happiness as a married woman may begin to affect her upcoming music, having previously taken inspiration from heartbreak.
She said: ‘It’s easier to write love songs when your heart is broken because heartbreak is such a powerful, loud emotion.’
‘But now I want to discover what happens when you truly find love. I’m interested in the complexities of a relationship – its quieter moments, the little things.’
Turner also recently revealed his plans to start a family with his new wife in rare comments about their life together.
Other stars at Monday’s event included Amy Poehler and Joel Lovell
SNL alum Bowen Yang was joined by Matt Rogers at the gala
Andrew Nixon and Kate Walsh were also in attendance
The couple are said to be relocating to the States later in the year, while Turner films back-to-back projects.
In a recent interview he opened up about their potential next steps as a couple, when asked by Esquire UK whether family would be a priority for him in the next decade.
He said: ‘Obviously, yeah, I’m 36. I’d like to have a family and raise some kids.’
On how he found his wedding day, he sweetly added: ‘It was amazing… It was the most beautiful day of my life. It’s nice to find someone that you love and who loves you and you want to be around all the time.’
Lipa has previously spoken about whether she would like children or not telling British Vogue: ‘I’d love to have kids one day.’
‘But it’s like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I’d have to take.’
‘I think it’s just one of those things that’s going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there’s so much more to raising a child than just loving children.’
