Celebrities at the 2026 TIME100 Next Gala

Here is a look at the celebrities who attended the 2026 TIME100 Next Gala in New York on Thursday evening, where sharp tailoring, shimmering gowns and a few unexpected styling choices gave us plenty to discuss.

Pretty in Pistachio

Joey King and Miu Miu are often in time out for me, but I was blown away by this pistachio-green gown, from the embroidery to the softly draped organza detailing. But it’s mostly the colour that wins me over, as this shade of green is beautiful against her skin tone. And no, that’s not a Miu Miu plaque or logo on the bodice. As one of the night’s honourees, she proudly wore her TIME100 pin.

Silver and Copper Take Centre Stage

While I’m usually not the biggest fan of mixing metals, I found myself admiring how the copper embellishments on Eiza González’s Monse Spring 2027 dress seamlessly graduate into silver, not to mention how beautifully it fits her. David Yurman jewellery and silver sandals completed her look, with the latter being the right choice considering the dress’s metallic hemline.

Feathers and Tailoring

Marisa Abela is usually our go-to girl for looks with minimal detailing, but her Dior Fall 2026 black-and-white feathered skirt changes everything. The structured ivory jacket is more in keeping with her usual style, so I love how the feathers give this look so much personality and flair. Dior Rose heeled sandals and a KATKIM Arena Pavé earring completed her look.

A Familiar Valentino

Molly Gordon wore a red Valentino Fall 2026 gown from Alessandro Michele’s Interferenze collection, which we recently saw on Carrie Coon. I love the colour, but I’m already bored of this dress. It didn’t need a second outing so soon, or at all. Mejuri jewellery completed her look.

Raye Goes Retro

Raye, who performed on the night, wore a red Prada column gown. Between the colour-blocking and her short, side-parted hairstyle, I’m getting a fabulous retro feel from this look, which always works for her.

The Fringe Question

Ravyn Lenae wore an Ilkyaz Ozel Sabbia maxi dress featuring a plunging neckline and an exceptionally long white fringed panel, which I desperately want to cut so it stops just before hitting the carpet. The purple Reformation Elena clutch was a fun addition, but I can’t get past that fringe dragging along the floor.

A Bow Makes the Difference

Sarah Pidgeon wore a Givenchy by Sarah Burton Spring 2027 night-blue wool suit. I love the way the bow scarf softens the tailoring, while the Jimmy Choo Jenn sandals were the perfect finishing touch.
