An evening of global icons, big moments, and unforgettable fashion.
The 2025 TIME100 Gala lit up New York City on Thursday night as some of the world’s most influential figures gathered at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Following two days of powerful discussions featuring the likes of Meghan Markle and Ryan Reynolds, the evening shifted into a celebration — not only of achievements, but also of standout style. The red carpet became a showcase of elegance, confidence, and fashion at its finest.
This year’s honorees didn’t just impress with their influence — they wowed with their looks. From sleek silhouettes to vintage flair, each outfit reflected a mix of personality, confidence, and red carpet flair.
Serena Williams made a bold fashion statement in a dramatic black Stella McCartney gown, complete with sculpted cutouts and an off-the-shoulder neckline. The futuristic design framed her athletic figure beautifully, while sheer gloves and a gleaming diamond necklace turned up the drama. Her soft, half-up hairstyle and glowing makeup finished off a powerful ensemble.
Demi Moore brought effortless grace in a custom design by Zac Posen and Kim Jones for GapStudio. Her ruched halter gown with a flowing skirt captured quiet glamour, topped with a cream blazer casually draped over her shoulders. Diamond earrings and a bold bangle added just the right amount of sparkle to her timeless look.
Scarlett Johansson went for quiet sophistication in a minimalist black Tom Ford gown. With gentle ruching and a gold accent at the waist, the halter dress leaned into subtle elegance. Though her mixed-metal jewelry added interest, the overall look stayed on the understated side, a shift from her usual high-glam choices.
Blake Lively delivered classic red carpet drama in a rich crimson Zuhair Murad gown. The off-the-shoulder design, structured bodice, and artful draping created a stunning silhouette, while vivid jade jewelry added a pop of contrast. It was a bold and confident look that reminded everyone of her signature fashion prowess.
Nicole Scherzinger embraced full-on glamour in a sequined black Zuhair Murad gown from the pre-fall 2025 collection. With an off-the-shoulder neckline and a figure-hugging silhouette, the dress brought vintage Hollywood vibes. Polished waves and a strong presence helped her stand out as one of the evening’s best-dressed stars.
The 2025 TIME100 Gala wasn’t just a tribute to global impact — it was also a night where fashion told its own story. With each look, these stars showed that style can be as powerful as influence, and just as unforgettable.
