- Time celebrated its list of 2025’s most influential people with a New York City gala on Thursday.
- Stars including Blake Lively, Snoop Dogg, and Gayle King were in attendance.
- Some of those celebrities looked stunning on the red carpet, while others made fashion mistakes.
The most influential people of 2025 have officially been chosen by Time.
Blake Lively, Serena Williams, and Snoop Dogg are just a handful of the actors, athletes, and musicians the publication chose this year.
They’re also among the stars who attended Time’s celebratory gala in New York City on Thursday night in stunning fashion.
Unfortunately, a handful of other attendees missed the mark with their outfit choices.
Here’s a look at the best and worst ensembles seen on the Time100 red carpet.
Demi Moore stunned in a cream-colored gown and matching blazer.
Zac Posen and Kim Jones made the couture GapStudio ensemble for Moore.
It had a ruched bodice with a halter strap, a cinched waistband, and a flowing skirt that grazed the floor.
Moore wore the dress with a cream blazer draped over her shoulders, a statement diamond bangle, numerous sparkling rings, and long earrings that almost touched her shoulders.
The outfit was simple, elegant, and made perfectly for Moore.
The jumpsuit Kristen Bell wore needed a few tweaks.
Some aspects of the Carolina Herrera look worked for Bell, like its vibrant red color and its long, wide pant legs that made the petite actor look taller.
Other areas, though, were confusing. Its strapless bodice, for example, would have better suited a formal gown than a casual jumpsuit.
Bell could have avoided the fashion mishap by either wearing a dress or choosing a sleeved one-piece.
Serena Williams had fun with accessories and old Hollywood glamour.
Williams walked the red carpet in a black Stella McCartney number. Her off-the-shoulder dress had sliced cutouts from top to bottom and a form-fitting skirt that nearly reached her ankles.
The garment stood out on its own, but Williams made it even better with accessories. She wore semi-sheer gloves, layered diamond necklaces, dangling earrings, and a variation of the Royal Oak watch from Audemars Piguet.
She looked simultaneously edgy and chic, creating a style that is entirely her own.
Scarlett Johansson’s all-black outfit was a tad underwhelming.
It’s almost impossible for Johansson to look bad. Still, her Tom Ford gown left something to be desired.
The black halter piece was pretty plain with a V-neck top, a form-fitted skirt that reached the floor, and a thin gold clip that created light ruching at the waist.
Her gold choker, mixed-metal rings, and silver square earrings helped enhance the look slightly, but the Roberto Coin accessories weren’t enough to make the outfit memorable.
Snoop Dogg looked sharp in a button-embellished suit.
The musician posed on the red carpet in a three-piece set that was effortlessly cool.
His black blazer was studded with gold buttons down its lapels and his trousers were fitted at the ankle to create a unique silhouette. A black tie contrasted his white button-down shirt.
Snoop Dogg completed the outfit with chain-embedded sunglasses, diamond rings, a silver square watch, and green Oxford sneakers.
Ed Sheeran experimented with a pink suit, but its pale color washed him out.
Sheeran is known to attend most events in T-shirts and cargo pants, so it was nice to see the musician dressed up for the Time100 gala.
That said, the pink shade of his blazer and matching trousers was too light for him. It washed out his skin and was too close to his red hair color.
The white T-shirt and Nike sneakers he wore also felt too casual for the gala event.
Activist and author Amanda Nguyen looked cool in white.
Nguyen, who recently went to space with Blue Origin, walked the red carpet in a white gown that glamorously reinvented menswear.
Its blazer top was full on one side and cut in half on the other, revealing a bow waistband and her pleated skirt.
To complete the look, Nguyen wore simple black sandals and styled her hair in thin braids.
Gayle King sported a green dress that appeared to be too long for her.
King arrived at the Time100 event in a mint-green gown. Though the color was a fun choice for the journalist, the garment didn’t seem to fit right.
Its long sleeves had excess fabric at the wrists, the ruched neckline sat awkwardly at her chest, and its long skirt covered her shoes.
King, however, nailed her accessories. She wore sparkle-covered pumps, layered necklaces, and long earrings that shone through her hair.
Blake Lively looked like a princess in a red, off-the-shoulder gown.
Zuhair Murad designed an off-the-shoulder dress that perfectly suited the “It Ends With Us” actor.
It had a corseted bodice, a form-fitted waist, and extra fabric attached at the hips to create a fuller skirt. Its red fabric was also a unique shade — not as bright as the carpet, but not light enough to be pink.
Lively made the outfit even more showstopping with an assortment of jade accessories, from green bracelets and rings to statement earrings.
