Celebrities wore bold eveningwear at Harper's Bazaar’s Icons dinner in New York on Monday, with singers, actors and models drawing attention for daring, fashion-forward looks on the red carpet.
Dua Lipa, the 30-year-old pop star, arrived in a tasselled black gown that revealed a nude, low-cut corset trimmed with black fringe and showcased her toned physique. She accessorized the look with silver Bvlgari jewels and plain black pumps. Laura Harrier, the 35-year-old model and actress, opted for a flesh-revealing sheer mini dress paired with strappy black heels and a small handbag.
Other notable attendees included Tessa Thompson, 41, who wore a vibrant scarlet gown with a cutout back and a wide-brimmed hat, and Tracee Ellis Ross, 52, who appeared in an oversized emerald green shift dress paired with sheer tights and a silver necklace. Model Paloma Elsesser chose a see-through top with a voluminous black skirt, and supermodel Linda Evangelista was photographed in a black coat as she passed the photographers.
The event, hosted by Harper's Bazaar, gathered figures from film, fashion and music for an evening that highlighted couture and personal style as much as celebrity. Photographs from the carpet circulated widely on social media and in entertainment coverage, underscoring a continued appetite for high-glamour presentations at industry gatherings.
The appearance is the latest public outing for Dua Lipa since she confirmed in June that she and actor Callum Turner are engaged. Reports last week cited by several outlets said the couple are looking for a holiday residence in Spain, with properties under consideration ranging from about 3 million to 9 million pounds. An unnamed source quoted by The Sun said the pair want “peace and tranquillity” and have been shown mansions overlooking the sea and retreats in the hills of Marbella.
In addition to the property reports, filings reviewed by entertainment outlets show Dua Lipa and Turner have established a company called TwentyTwo Films Limited, listed under motion picture and programme production activities, with each holding equal shares. A source quoted by The Sun said the pair are exploring joint ventures and want more creative control should Lipa pursue additional film projects. Neither the property reports nor the business filings have been independently confirmed by Harper's Bazaar or the parties involved, and no wedding date has been announced.
The Harper's Bazaar Icons dinner continues a seasonal run of magazine-hosted events that bring fashion and entertainment figures together for awards, tributes and evening celebrations. Red-carpet attire at these gatherings frequently mixes couture statements with personal styling choices, and this year's New York dinner showcased a range of transparent fabrics, bold colors and theatrical silhouettes.
Photographs and commentary from the evening highlight how celebrities and designers use such moments to present evolving aesthetics and promote upcoming projects. For the attendees, the dinner provided both a platform for high-profile fashion and an opportunity for networking within film, music and fashion circles.
Representatives for the celebrities named did not immediately respond to requests for comment about their looks or the reports concerning private property searches and business ventures.
