JoJo stunned at Dance Moms alum Kalani Hilliker’s destination wedding, which took place in Italy.
The Karma singer shared some beautiful shots on her Instagram, from the reception night of the ceremony, to her “first time” solo traveling to a “new country,” exploring the Italian landscape, and even a candid picture with the bride.
In her September 17 post, the first two images featured Siwa in a sparkly, disco-inspired gold minidress embellished with sequins and gems.

It featured a dramatic cape that spread out when she opened her arms wide.
Letting the dress shine, literally, JoJo kept her makeup and jewelry simple, opting for matching gold pumps with minimal diamond earrings and a bracelet.
She called her look “Golden days in Italy” in the caption of the post.

“Now headed back home for my last week of rehearsals for my INFINITY HEART tour in Europe next week!”

JoJo’s stunning wedding look came just days after she dropped major hints about her own marriage plans with her 32-year-old partner, British TV host Chris Hughes.
The two publicly began dating in June 2025, shortly after first appearing to get intimate together on the reality show Celebrity Big Brother UK.

Last week, the Guilty Pleasure singer sparked buzz after eagle-eyed fans noticed she had liked a post from wedding planner PoshVows on Instagram.
The post detailed a timeline of beauty treatments a bride needs leading up to her big day.

Earlier, on the September 9 episode of the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, Siwa opened up about her relationship with Chris and their potential marriage plans.
“I'm happy. I've never wanted the future so bad… I've never protected a love that I have so much. I've never cared about another person so much. I’ve never craved a wedding…”
Reflecting on how her perspective has changed since getting into the relationship, she added, “But now I'm like, ‘No, I want a ring and I want my Dad to walk me down the aisle and I wanna first dance and I want butterflies,’ I'm happy.”

JoJo previously dated influencer Kath Ebbs for a few months, before the two broke up in April this year, shortly after Siwa appeared to grow close to Hughes.
Now identifying as queer, Siwa told the Daily Mail shortly after announcing her relationship with the British host that she once felt pressured to label herself as a lesbian.

“In a weird way, I think the pressure came a little bit from inside the [LGBTQ] community at times. From people I know, from partners I’ve had. You just get put in this world where you feel like, because you now have said, ‘Oh, I’m a lesbian,’ you have to be a lesbian.”

Chris’ father also fueled rumors of the couple planning to get hitched during a recent interview with the Daily Mail.
He hinted that the wedding might take place “before Christmas,” as there’s a church near Chris’ home in Gloucestershire.
“It wouldn’t surprise us if they got married before Christmas. We’ve got St Mary’s Church just over the lane from us which would be perfect… Even though they live together on the outskirts of London, they like to come here and relax.”

Netizens were impressed by JoJo’s new “feminine era” with many gushing over her golden dress look.
One user commented, “After being practically controlled all her life im glad she's now experiencing life for herself, finding who she is.”
Another wrote, “This is the JoJo I’ve been waiting for! And that dress is fire!”
“Okay I’m actually here now for jojo finding her feminine era.”

However, some users mocked Siwa’s s**ual orientation, taking jabs at her past identity.
One netizen wrote, “THAT DOESNT LOOK LIKE THE GIRL I SAW A YEAR AGO !! SHE LOOKS GROWN UP AND STRAIGHT NOW.’
Meanwhile, another quipped, “Finally back to being normal. Obviously was just going through a phase.”

Talking to The Sun on September 8, the Boomerang singer revealed some intimate details about her and Chris’s future wedding.
“A wedding is a two-person thing. So we would have to decide what it looks like. But I do know that I want it to have a baby-blue scheme and I need to help Chris make the playlist.”

In July, to promote her rendition of Bette Davis Eyes, she gave a nod to the 1930s actress Bette Davis as well as singer Kim Carnes.
She donned a vintage-inspired outfit complete with big pearls around her neck, a voluminous bob, and bright red lipstick.
Her old Hollywood glam sparked accusations that she was trying to be a “trad wife” for Chris, as she ditched her signature tomboyish look for a more feminine style.

Since then, she has continued to dress up and go all-out glamorous on multiple occasions.
