Sabrina opted for two exquisite dresses by Vera Wang for her big day while Idris looked dapper in a bespoke suit by Ozwald Boateng. With a 'colours of the Souk' themed dinner on Thursday night and their extravagant nuptials on Friday, the three-day celebrations culminated with an all-white party at a hotel. It was February last year when Idris, who is known for his roles in Luther, Thor and Prometheus, got down to one knee to pop the question to Sabrina. The star met his now wife in her home country of Canada in 2017 and became acquainted on the set of the drama film The Mountain Between Us.

What added the cherry to the cake was Idris' surprise musical performance during his reception. The star stole the show when he rapped over Afro Beats star Davido's performance as his wife danced alongside celebrity shoe designer Christian Louboutin. A source told the media, "It was everything you could wish for. Guests had patron shots, cocktails and endless champagne. Christian Louboutin loved every minute and grabbed Sabrina for a spin -- but not before he had a dance-off with the singer Davido himself as the crowd cheered them on.

"It was the wedding party of the year -- and there were lots of sore heads the next morning," reported guests. The star met his now wife in her home country of Canada in 2017 and became acquainted on the set of the drama film The Mountain Between Us.
