Last night, TIME hosted its annual TIME100 Gala, honoring some of the most influential people in the world. Among this year’s honorees were actress and TV personality Keke Palmer, actor Sterling K. Brown, actress Zoe Saldaña, singer and songwriter Coco Jones, health advocate Precious Matsoso, and model Anok Yai. While these influential names are just a glimpse of the full list, TIME continues to spotlight individuals who are actively shaping the future across industries. And, as expected, the fashion was just as timeless.
Lala Anthony arrived in a cascading gold tassel gown featuring corseted boning for structure, while sculptural fringe draped across her neckline, bodice, and hip before flowing into a sweeping skirt. She accessorized with black cat-eye glasses and gold sculptural earrings from Guzema Jewelry. Then, model Anok Yai stole the show in a green crocodile-textured gown from Ashi Studio’s Spring/Summer 2026 couture collection. The design featured a sculpted neckline highlighted by a glistening diamond necklace along with a structured skirt that fell just below the knee. Shefinished her look off with pointed-toe heels for a sleek, elongated silhouette.
Meanwhile, Keke Palmer opted for a striking mixed-texture look. She paired a corseted black top with a velvet checkered skirt accented by a lace-trimmed slip detail running through the center. For beauty, she went with a polished, finger-waved pixie, complemented by diamond jewelry. Then entered Coco Jones. The singer stepped onto the red carpet in a gown from Richard Quinn’s Spring 2026 collection: a strapless design with a structured black corseted bodice accented by a bold red rose detail. But, it was her voluminous white tulle skirt made the silhouette even more dramatic and romantic for the evening.
Ahead, take a look at our favorite fashion and beauty moments from this year’s TIME100 Gala.
