Here’s a roundup of the rest of the celebrities who attended the 2025 TIME100 Next event held at Pier 59 in New York City.
Boho Confusion
I love Meghann Fahy’s style, but she kinda missed the memo here with this Chloé Spring 2026 look. The ensemble—a cream lace crop top with tiered, rust-coloured taffeta ruffles—leans more Coachella than Carnegie Hall. It’s giving “Sunday afternoon at a folk festival,” not a Manhattan power soirée. I’m all for her free-spirited take on fashion, but this felt tonally misplaced. Had this event been in Los Angeles, I could have bought into the story.
Cut-Out Comeback
It’s been a while since Mônot made its way onto a major red carpet—remember when it was practically a daily occurrence? Leave it to Maura Higgins to revive Eli Mizrahi’s brand of bold sensuality. Her white cut-out dress with structured side pockets was very “Bond girl at a gala,” and she certainly had the confidence to match. That said, I can’t help but wish it had been tailored. You can almost see her plotting how to move without tripping on the hem—kick step, kick step, repeat. Still, if the goal was to bring Mônot’s sexy minimalism back to the conversation, Maura succeeded.
Crystal Cage Conundrum
Am I the only one who kinda wishes Tate McRae had worn this Valentino Spring 2026 gown without the embellished cage overlay? The underlying corset silhouette is stunning, but the extra sparkle feels like a distraction rather than an enhancement. But looking at how sheer the dress is, perhaps the cage was doing its job.
Gold Rush
Becky G continued her love affair with golden tones in this AMIRI Fall 2025 mock-neck knit dress which brought her signature glam in a way that’s still evolving beyond the hyper-feminine gowns she once favoured. It’s mature, unfussy, and sexy in a more controlled way.
Grey Area
Jonathan Bailey’s grey suit was smart, classic, and perfectly fine—emphasis on fine. There’s nothing to hate, but also not much to get excited about as he usually tells a story with this tailoring. Maybe he’s saving the big fashion energy for the Wicked: For Good press tour.
burgundy brilliance
Manny Jacinto understood the assignment in head-to-toe burgundy Zegna. The monochrome look hit the sweet spot between dapper and contemporary with an impeccable fit, as we’ve come to expect from Zegna’s quiet luxury aesthetic.
Sartorial Supremacy
Damson Idris delivered the night’s most refined menswear moment in a Ferragamo tuxedo, styled with pieces from his own DIDRIS jewellery line. The clean double-breasted cut and sharp detailing felt timeless yet modern, and the personal touch of jewellery grounded it with individuality.
