'The energy was pure love and happiness, and so fun, so much fun! I want to relive each event. They've set the bar very high!' She added that Delta's makeup brief for the bridesmaids was straightforward: 'What the girls want' and 'make them feel like themselves'. The process required 'teamwork', she said, with the bridesmaids doing their own lips or mascara to save a few minutes between each person, which they were very understanding and helpful about. Due to the warm weather conditions in Malta, Mia relied on hydrating skin preparation and a heavy duty setting spray to keep the makeup in place all day. Name-dropping a few products, Mia said she used the Terry Hyaluronic Glow Setting Mist, Sisley Nutritive Lip Balm and Ilia Eye Stylus & Makeup Forever Cream Shadow Sticks on the big day. She also combined Kryolan Ultra Setting Spray and The Secret Skin Care Solar Serum 50+ protection to prime the skin, which left the bridesmaids with a 'radiant finish.' In June, Delta made headlines as she married the love of her life, Matthew Copley, in a stunning Malta ceremony. The pop star shared the first look at her 'fairytale' wedding with Vogue Australia. 'June 2025, Husband and Wife. It was more magical than we both could have dreamed,' the 40-year-old wrote in an emotional caption on Instagram. 'We said I do under the Maltese skies in a family fairytale wedding brought to life by so many angels surrounding us,' she continued. 'We are holding on to every memory from that moment, the love, the laughter, the happy tears and dancing till the sun came up.' The blushing bride stunned in an off-the-shoulder wedding gown with a racy sweetheart neckline designed by South Australian fashion designer Paul Vasileff. The French tulle gown features gorgeous lattice detailing and a two-and-a-half metre train. Delta said she worked with the designer over three months to create a gown that felt 'super personal and very special.' 'Paul and I connected the second I got engaged, and we started working together immediately,' Delta told Vogue of the couture creation. The gown, which took around 500 hours to make, included nods to the couple's romance, including their wedding date, a pair of swans and cherubs, embroidered into the fabric. Vasileff had also dressed Delta for the 2016 Logie Awards and described working with her as a 'dream collaboration'. Delta and Matthew exchanged vows in the historic St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, which was built in the 12th century. The reception then took place at Naxxar's Palazzo Parisio, an estate with exquisite gardens that was constructed in the 18th century. Delta changed into two additional dresses during the party so she would be comfortable enough to dance the night away while Conrad Sewell and Vince Pizzinga performed to the A-list guests. Both frocks were designed for the singer by Melbourne-based couture designer Con Ilio, including a party dress covered in hand-beaded pearls and crystals. Delta and Matthew's custom-made, matching gold and diamond wedding bands were created by Melbourne designer Anton Jewellery. The singer told Vogue that she wanted to, 'feel like myself on the day. That was really important to me. The look needed to feel grounded amongst the fairytale.' Delta's makeup was done by Noni Smith and her hair was styled by Michael Brennan, while the day's stylist was Meggy Smith. Her groom meanwhile was dressed in 'head-to-toe' Tom Ford, Delta told Vogue - adding that she did not see Matt the night before their vows to add to the magic. 'Every moment was a fairytale come true. The whole day and the week spent with everyone were beyond our wildest dreams' Delta told Vogue.

Richard Wilkins, 71, shows off his beach body as he cuddles up to girlfriend Mia Hawkswell, 47, in Malta during Delta Goodrem's wedding
Richard Wilkins was having some fun in the sun on Tuesday. The entertainment reporter is in Malta for the wedding of Delta Goodrem and Matthew Copley and had a ball during the recovery party. The 71-year-old stripped down to his striped boardshorts for a dip alongside girlfriend Mia Hawkswell. Richard showed off his beach body before giving Mia a cuddle in water as the two giggled together during a soak. Mia was flaunting her fit physique in a chic black bikini and appeared to go make up free for the outing. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, . The beach bash followed Delta and Matthew's luxurious wedding ceremony the previous day, which took place in the same country where the couple got engaged in 2023. The multi-day celebration has been two years in the making, with guests reportedly receiving detailed schedules well in advance. While Delta dazzled in a cobalt blue swimsuit and a sheer white sarong during the recovery festivities, it was Christian who stole the show in his daring swimwear - solidifying his status as a red carpet rebel even while off-duty. Delta, who has remained private about her personal life, got engaged to Matthew, her guitarist and musical collaborator, in September 2023. The Australian pop princess married her longtime love and guitarist in the same country where the couple got engaged last year. Malta holds a particularly special place in her heart - not only was it the setting for her romantic engagement to Matthew, but it also boasts deep personal and professional ties for the singer. In a video shared on YouTube in 2023, Delta opened up about her bond with the southern European nation. 'My partner's family are all from Malta,' she said, before adding that many of her longtime band members and backup singers also share Maltese heritage. The star-studded nuptials had reportedly been two years in the making, with guests receiving detailed schedules ahead of the big day. Meanwhile, Richard broke his silence on his new relationship with Mia in May last year after they were pictured holding hands. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, he said things between the pair were blissful. 'Life is good. I'm happy. Things are good,' he said. Dickie, who is usually quiet when it comes to his private life, added: 'It's a bit weird when you have people sticking their heads out of bushes, but that's okay.' Daily Mail Australia broke the news of their romance after the Channel Nine star was seen with Mia at his friend Annika Martyn's birthday party. In a video shared to Instagram by Annika, Richard was seen stepping off a boat hand-in-hand with Mia. Mia also shared a cryptic post to her Instagram Stories, showing her clinking glasses with a man off camera, which she captioned: 'All you need is love'. A source told Daily Mail Australia at the time that they have been dating for several weeks, and have so far kept their romance low-key. Mia had reportedly recently split from a long-term partner, while Dickie broke up with his longtime girlfriend Nicola Dale in January last year. According to her website, Mia runs classes known as The Over 40s Club, which offers makeup and beauty advice for older women. She has worked with big names in the entertainment industry, including Pamela Anderson, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Florence Welch, Jimmy and Jane Barnes, Black Eyed Peas and Dean Lewis.
