Proceeds benefit the nonprofit's programs, including film series, educational initiatives, and marquee events like the New York Film Festival and New Directors/New Films.
The event in New York comes after Dua took to Instagram last Monday to show off some snaps from her Easter vacation with fiancé Callum Tuner in Albania.
The Dance The Night Away singer flaunted her flawless physique as she donned a tiny red triangle bikini whilst sunning herself on the beach.
Dua posted a gallery of photos with a caption 'Easter at home' with a bunny and Albanian flag emojis.
In another shot the musician could be seen wearing a black crop top and matching workout shorts with her brunette locks tied back in a sleek ponytail.
The couple were laughing and goofing around in the snaps while Dua squashed Callum's, 34, face as he grinned.
The loved up duo also filmed themselves running and jumping off a pier into the water with beautiful cliffs in the background.
Dua and Callum were first linked in January 2024 and are said to have got engaged late last year.
But only recently have the couple have the couple gone public with their romance as they were previously rarely pictured together.
In December it emerged that Dua and Callum had got engaged after he 'got down in one knee in a romantic proposal'.
It was revealed the stunning sparkler seemingly boasts an elegant solitaire diamond with 18 karat gold band and could cost a whopping £25K.
Anya Walsh, jewellery expert at 77 Diamonds, Europe's largest online diamond jeweller, told MailOnline: 'The ring seems to be either a classic solitaire diamond set on a large, gold band, in what seems to be 18 carat yellow gold. The slightly wider than average band gives the ring a confident, chunky feel'.
Anya added: 'Pricing always depends on the diamond's quality, but a high quality 2 carat diamond set on a classic wide band solitaire would cost around £20,000 to £25,000 at 77 Diamonds.'

Taylor Swift drops huge hint she could perform at Super Bowl as she plants clues in album announcement with Travis Kelce
Scroll to read more on Maya Jama's search for stars and why Amanda Holden's latest telly project was axed HALF TIME SHOWGIRL Taylor Swift drops huge hint she could perform at Super Bowl as she plants clues in album announcement with Travis Kelce Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TAYLOR SWIFT has hinted she will perform at the Super Bowl in February. She delighted fans this week by announcing her new album The Life Of A Showgirl on boyfriend Travis Kelce's sports podcast. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 15 Singing sensation Taylor Swift has hinted she will perform at the Super Bowl in February Credit: Getty 15 The star announced her new album The Life Of A Showgirl on boyfriend Travis Kelce's sports podcast Credit: Youtube / New Heights But as well as revealing the title and tracklist of her 12th record, the singer also planted clues — known as Easter eggs — suggesting she could headline the gridiron final. It will be held at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California with NFL star Travis's team, Kansas City Chiefs, tipped to contest it. During the New Heights podcast, Taylor referred to the number 47 — and eagle-eyed fans noted that her 47th show during The Eras Tour was at the Levi's Stadium. Taylor thanked Travis and his brother, fellow American football star Jason Kelce, for 'screaming for 47 seconds' — and joked she performed in '47,000 countries' on her recent global concert tour.

That's stuff I find really fun.' It seems she also loves colour — and the orange theme on her new album cover could be another nod to the Super Bowl. California is home to Orange County, named after the fruit's abundance in the area. Glass microphone And Kansas City Chiefs play in a kit that is red and yellow — the two colours that mix to make orange. Fans also believe Taylor's choice to announce her new album on a podcast dedicated largely to American football is a further pointer to her performing at the big game. Taylor and Travis, who confirmed they were dating in 2023, sealed their romance with a kiss at the 2024 Super Bowl, following the Chiefs' win that year. Taylor Swift reveals 'wild' true story of how she met Travis Kelce moments into New Heights podcast appearance The pair also smooched at a game last January, following a crunch match. During the podcast, they chatted in front of a bookcase filled with Super Bowl clues. The Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the game's winning side, can be seen in the middle of the bookcase. Elsewhere a glass microphone sits on a shelf near a figurine of Travis in his Kansas City Chiefs kit. But perhaps the most telling clue is that Taylor was rumoured to have turned down offers to perform at the Super Bowl in order to focus on re-recording her first six albums. But on May 30, she announced she had won the battle to obtain the master recordings of them in a deal with Shamrock Capital. In a letter on her website she wrote: 'All of the music I've ever made . . . now belongs . . . to me.'

Outlander Blood of My Blood star's 'fantastic' war drama streaming for free
The WWI blockbuster is a must-watch A wartime film is going to be arriving on BBC iPlayer very soon and is a must-watch for all film buffs, with two stars from the Outlander: Blood of My Blood cast, which has received strong praise from fans and plenty of Easter eggs from Outlander. The film came out in 2011 and received a slew of Oscar nominations. Many people have praised the movie on IMDb, with one person posting a 10/10 review titled: 'A Stunning and Enthralling Epic.' They went on to explain: 'The film is uncompromisingly sentimental, and I wasn't annoyed by it. Because it worked so well, it made me care about the story, the characters, the horses.' They added: 'There are a lot of powerful scenes in the movie, from which I cried. It was just so moving, it showed the true consequences of war. Some of the battle sequences were simply fantastic and astonishing.' A second glowing review was titled: 'A truly exceptional film about courage in both man and beast.' The user noted: 'This is a wonderful "against all odds" inspirational story about courage and relationships. A horse of truly amazing spirit touches the lives of so many during War I - including British soldiers, German soldiers, French civilians and even other horses.' A third person hailed the blockbuster 'simply delightful' and said: 'I went to see this movie expecting NOT to like it. But, for 2 hours and 15 mins I was totally enthralled.' One top-tier review explained: 'I was expecting this movie to be just another extravagant sentimental potboiler. Wow, was I surprised. This is a great movie. The title says the movie is about a horse, but it's really about a lot more than that. The horse plays a central role but the humans figure in the story too, in a big way.' War Horse was directed by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, adapted from Michael Morpurgo's 1982 novel and its 2007 stage version of the same name. The story follows teenager Albert Narracott (played by Jeremy Irvine), who forms a close bond with a horse he names Joey after his farmer father buys the creature at an auction. However, at the onset of World War I, Joey is enlisted into the cavalry to help with the war effort. War Horse follows Joey's journey through the trenches as he bears witness to the horrors of the conflict on both sides. Initially, too young to join the army and be reunited with Joey, Albert eventually becomes a solider when he comes of age. Featuring an all-star cast including Chernobyl's Emily Watson, Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock and Doctor Stranger, Harry Potter actor David Thewlis, fellow Outlander: Blood of My Blood star Peter Mullan, Tom Hiddleston from The Night Manager, Black Mirror's Toby Kebbell, Robert Emms from Atlantis and Ray Donovan actor Eddie Marsan, it's an unmissable film. War Horse is led by Outlander: Blood of My Blood star Irvine, who plays time traveller and WWI veteran Henry Beauchamp in the new Starz series. The Spielberg epic marked the actor's feature film debut at the age of 21 when he was selected out of hundreds of other hopefuls by the Hollywood director. The Outlander prequel series premiered last week and fans can glimpse the star back in the trenches in the opening two episodes of Blood of My Blood.

Scotland retro: 39 atmospheric photos bring the 70s back to life
The 70s were a period of great change across Scotland. It was a tough decade for many, with the decline of the coal mining and shipbuilding industries leading to high unemployment. But there were good times too, as these photos chronicling life across Scotland throughout the decade show. They capture lost shops, vanished landmarks, school life, festival fun, and much more. In one memorable image, a boy is pictured living out his Wild West fantasy in the toy section of the much-missed Jenners department store in Edinburgh. Another shows the old Bluevale tower blocks looming over Glasgow, and a third features youngsters munching candyfloss at a popular funfair in Fife. Stars of the day, including Morecambe and Wise, the Bay City Rollers, and Paul McCartney cradling a baby Stella McCartney, during his Wings era, are pictured in this retro photo gallery. The buzz surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest, life on the factory floor, 70s fashions, and filming for a new TV show also feature in this nostalgic look back at how we lived half a century ago. Do these photos bring back any memories for you? If you enjoyed these pictures, you may enjoy this round-up of the best images from the 70s across the UK. 1 .
