The annual TIME 100 gala brings together the world’s most influential individuals and this year’s honorees speak to the wide range of impact that these game changers have in the world.
From activist Tarana Burke, who started the #MeToo movement and vigilant Congresswoman Maxine Waters to Hollywood triple threat and Bronx native Jennifer Lopez and precocious actress Millie Bobby Brown, the gala’s attendees on Tuesday night showed up in their finest looks to recognize TIME 100 members both past and present in what shaped up to be a truly unforgettable night.
See what they wore all captured by TIME photographer Landon Nordeman from the 2018 time 100 gala.
