Dua Lipa, Laura Harrier and a constellation of actresses and models attended Harper's Bazaar's Icons dinner in New York City on Monday, arriving in high-glamour eveningwear that ranged from sheer minis to sweeping gowns.
Lipa, 30, drew attention in a tasselled black gown that featured a nude low-cut corset trimmed with black fringe. She complemented the look with plain black pumps and silver Bvlgari jewelry. Harrier, 35, wore a flesh-revealing sheer mini dress paired with strappy black heels and a small handbag. Other attendees included Tessa Thompson in a billowing scarlet gown with a cutout back and wide-brimmed hat, Tracee Ellis Ross in an oversized emerald shift dress with sheer tights, model Paloma Elsesser in a see-through top and voluminous skirt, and Linda Evangelista in a black coat.
Photographs from the event show a range of red-carpet styling, with several guests opting for statement silhouettes and revealing fabrics. Organizers billed the gathering as an Icons dinner; attendees posed for photographers and social media posts documented many of the evening's looks.
The appearance came amid media reports about Lipa's personal and business plans. The singer publicly confirmed in June that she is engaged to actor Callum Turner, after engagement rumors circulated since late last year. British tabloid reports this week said the couple have been viewing properties in Spain, including listings priced between £3 million and £9 million, with potential locations cited as Marbella and other areas of Andalucia. A source speaking to The Sun was quoted as saying the pair want a house that will comfortably accommodate family and friends and provide privacy and tranquility as they consider offers.
Also reported by tabloid outlets was the formation of a new business venture involving the couple. According to those reports, Lipa and Turner have set up a company called TwentyTwo Films Limited, listed under motion picture and programme production activities, and are said to hold equal shares. A source told The Sun that the pair have ideas for joint projects and view the company as a way for Lipa to take greater creative control should she pursue further film work. Neither the couple nor their representatives issued a statement to confirm the property search or the business filings by press time.
The Harper's Bazaar event offered a snapshot of fall red-carpet fashion, with designers, jewelers and stylists prominently represented. Attendees' choices reflected current trends toward sheer fabrics, dramatic fringe and bold color. The evening added to an active public schedule for several of the guests, as they balance film, television and music commitments alongside their personal lives.
Reports about the couple's real estate and business plans remain based on tabloid coverage; there has been no independent verification of offers or completed transactions. Lipa and Turner have not announced wedding plans publicly.
