Charli XCX: From Pop Princess to Film Star - Inside Her Cinematic Rise and Epic Italian Wedding

Charli XCX BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Charli XCX has been everywhere in the past few days basking in personal triumphs and stepping center-stage in both film and music. Hot off her double wedding summer—first the low-key courthouse ceremony in London and then a grander, star-studded bash in Sicily with George Daniel of The 1975—she’s been flooding Instagram with scenes from the Italian celebration. According to People and highlighted by Sportskeeda, the Sicilian nuptials on September 14 were intensely Charli: a bias-cut Danielle Frankel dress bathed in ivory chiffon, a guest list featuring the likes of Julia Fox, Caroline Polachek, Robyn, and Matty Healy, and of course, that already legendary after-party with a cigarette platter and custom matches, which set social media abuzz and drew typical Brat-era fan reactions. Those Instagram reposts and the slew of party shots, especially with Gabbriette and Devon Lee Carlson, only fueled speculation that Charli had always planned the Italian event to be her “epic” second wedding after a more intimate London start earlier in the summer, confirming insider hints reported by People.

If that sounds cinematic, it’s because Charli is becoming just that. Fresh from premiering her feature acting debut at Toronto International Film Festival, she stole the show at TIFF in Erupcja, donning a sheer dress to kickoff what IMDb called her "feature film acting debut" and walked red carpets alongside Lena Gora and Jeremy O. Harris. Early reviews from The Guardian and Indiewire have already flagged her performance as breezy and assertive, and Variety highlighted how her transition into acting coincides with a personal and professional “transitional period,” riding the Brat wave into indie film. This isn’t her only foray—she showed up at Venice Critics’ Week in 100 Nights of Hero and took an executive producer role (and cameo) in the Prime series Overcompensating. She’s become one of the year’s faces on the festival circuit, hinting at long-term Hollywood ambitions.

There’s no slowdown either. Charli is attached to anticipated projects like Face of Death by Daniel Goldhaber, I Want Your Sex with Gregg Araki, and The Gallerist by Cathy Yan, all in various stages of production with casts ranging from Olivia Wilde to Natalie Portman. She’s also set to star in a Takashi Miike film, serve as both actress and producer, and lend original songs to Emerald Fennell’s upcoming Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie. Between all this, she sparked party scenes at pop-girl-themed events, including the Dallas Pride Dance Party and viral social media mentions surrounding her wedding style. Charli’s Brat persona is everywhere, from playful shoutouts on Letterboxd to hand-curated cinematic wedding moments—her pop-cultural footprint growing larger and stranger by the day.
