Dua Lipa turned heads at the 50th Chaplin Award Gala in New York, stepping out in a daring sheer dress that left little to the imagination. The singer confidently flaunted her figure in the see-through ensemble, going braless while her stylish thong peeked through the delicate fabric.

Her outfit was far from the only standout detail. A bold gold necklace and matching chunky earrings added a touch of glamour, while her sleek, straight hair and striking red lipstick kept the look polished. She carried a small clutch that perfectly matched the dress, completing the chic yet edgy vibe.

The event, held at Lincoln Center, celebrates legendary English actor Charlie Chaplin and is a major fundraiser. Dua took her time on the red carpet, striking poses and flashing her signature pout for photographers.

This isn’t the first time the pop star has embraced sheer fashion. Back in March, she wore a similar transparent outfit during a performance in Sydney. Her latest appearance follows a romantic getaway with her fiancé, actor Callum Turner. The couple, who got engaged last December, have been inseparable, with friends calling them "deeply in love" and fully committed to their future together.

  • The actor said the filmmaker had concerns about his accent and suggested a four-month stay in the US for training.

  • He emphasised that his creative journey is rooted in Malayalam cinema and he prefers to evolve within it.
