A who’s who of 2026 showed out Thursday in New York City as Time Magazine celebrated their 100 most influential people of the year.

Honorees Alan Cumming, Wagner Moura, Kate Hudson, Sterling K. Brown, Ethan Hawke, Keke Palmer, Dakota Johnson, Noah Wyle and more were among those in attendance for the Time100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

In a letter to readers, Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs wrote, “There is no single metric that defines influence. Our selections are led by the stories that are shaping the world each year and the people who write them. Some are well known to many, others only within their fields…Few people, we suspect, will be familiar with all 100 individuals.”

The magazine’s 20th Time100 Gala recognizing the listmakers is hosted by honoree Nikki Glaser, with musical performances by Luke Combs and Coco Jones.
