Time held its annual 100 Gala Tuesday night, in celebration of the most influential (and, judging by these photosâglamorous) people on the planet. Folks brought their A game, and weâve gone ahead and found the best.
Time held its annual Time 100 gala on Tuesday night, to celebrate the most influential people on the planet. Viola Davis, Blake Lively and Riz Ahmed were among the stars who brought their most influential smizes to the party. Take a gander below.
In an interview with Time as part of its Time 100 feature, Priyanka Chopra recalled a moment earlier in her career when a Bollywood producer referred to actresses as âreplaceable.â
Time celebrated the 100 most important people who would be advantageous to put on its cover last night, as well as many others. They called it a Gala as they do every year, but for the most part attendees dressed in fancy-casual gownsânot a lot of glimmer and glitzâwhich was fine. Also, Kanye performed a 20-minuteâŚ
Last night at the Time 100 Gala, the gowns were mostly disappointing in that they didn't seem very influential or even compelling. And Tilda Swinton, who tried to buck the dress trend by wearing a jumpsuit, wasn't even her normal fashion-forward self, seeing as how a couple other women had the same exact idea.

"In 1976, I wondered why TIME didn't have a triumphant Patti Smith on its cover," writes Michael Stipe. He also suggests they put her on the cover now. For now, she'll have to settle for being one-hundredth of the annual Time 100 Most Influential People.
Along with the "Time 100," there's this list of the 100 least influential people, which includes freaking RUE MCCLANAHAN, apparently because she's overshadowed by Betty White's second wind. Listen: We adore Betty, but don't you dare question Blanche Devereaux. [Time]

Last night in New York, Time magazine hosted a reception honoring its self-selected 100 Most Influential people of the year and, I have to say, the women in attendance were a cool bunch: Arianna Huffington, Martha Stewart, Angelica Huston, Wendy Kopp, Tina Fey, Madeeha Hasan Odhaib, Elizabeth Gilbert, and others.

Stephen Colbert has been fighting a one-sided war the past few weeks with Korean pop star Rain for the top spot on the Time 100, which determines the world's most influential person. Readers could vote online, and in the end, Colbert was beat out by Rain, who finished second. (First place went to video-game designerâŚ
