The TIME100 Gala gathered the world’s most influential stars at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City on Wednesday, commemorating the annual TIME100 list.
Hosted by Jennifer Coolidge—one of the TIME100 cover stars and recent winner of a Golden Globe for her performance in The White Lotus—the event brought together more than 300 attendees, including Kim Kardashian, “Beef” Actor Ali Wong, “Creed” star Michael B. Jordan, and renowned filmmaker Steven Spielberg.
“Our mission at TIME is to tell the essential stories of the people who shape and improve the world. Those are the stories of the TIME 100,” said recently-named Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs “You are the pioneers and artists, innovators and icons, who join us here tonight and who are tackling the world’s greatest challenges…That is the power of this night.”
The cocktail hour ahead of the event saw guests like Drew Barrymore and Padma Lakshmi mingling and Amy Poehler and Audrey Plaza also made the rounds around the room.
Grammy-award winning artist Doja Cat and American songwriter and actress Lea Michele dazzled the room with renditions of “Woman” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”
The TIME100 special airs Sunday at 7/6c on ABC and streams on Hulu and Disney+.
