Some of the most influential trailblazers and cultural newsmakers were honored at the TIME 100 Gala, hosted by Jennifer Coolidge, at the Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City on Wednesday.
The annual event is in celebration of those who the magazine has selected as the 100 most influential people in the world for 2023.
One of the newsmakers to make this year’s TIME100 list, Mia Farrow, who was paired with Jennifer Coolidge, would hit the red carpet with her son Ronan Farrow.
The 78-year-old actress, whose first leading lady role was in Roman Polanski’s acclaimed psychological horror film Rosemary’s Baby, struck a number of poses with Ronan by her side and another round by herself.
The Los Angeles native (born Maria de Lourdes Villiers Farrow), 78, stunned in what appeared to be an off-white velvet dress that fell down to just above her feet, which were adorned with black sandals.

The sleeveless number and its plunging neckline helped showcase her lean figure with its perfect fit.
For the prestigious event, Farrow had her blonde curly tresses styled long and down over her chest in the front, as well as to about middle of her back, with a part in the middle.
She accessorized with a couple of bracelets and a small black clutch purse.
Ronan Farrow, 35, showed off his fashion sense decked out in a gold-patterned suit that he matched with a white dress shirt and black shoes.
The New York City native, who’s the only biological child of Mia Farrow and her former longtime partner Woody Allen, had his blonde locks grown out over his ears, but pushed back off his face with a slight part on the left.
The journalist, who’s known for his investigative reporting of allegations of sexual abuse against film producer Harvey Weinstein that was published in The New Yorker magazine, would also strike a few poses solo for the admiring photographers.
The New Yorker won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for the reporting on Weinstein, sharing the award with The New York Times.
The gala, which serves as an extension of Time magazine’s iconic 100 Most Influential People in the World list, included most of the newsmakers and world-changers picked for the 2023 edition.
The 2023 TIME100 features 16 climate leaders, a record number for the list, including Anthony Albanese, Gustavo Petro, Catherine Coleman Flowers, Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, Robin Zeng and more.
Along with Coolidge, the entertainers on this year’s list includes Michael B. Jordan, Austin Butler, Zoe Saldaña, Angela Bassett, Aubrey Plaza, Colin Farrell, Drew Barrymore, Jerrod Carmichael, Ali Wong, Salma Hayek Pinault and Nathan Fielder.

Breakout film role: Farrow saw her star soar with her role in Roman Polanski’s acclaimed psychological horror film Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
First published in 1999 as the result of a debate among American academics, politicians, and journalists, the list is now a highly publicized annual event.
Appearing on the list, which is ultimately chosen by Time editors, is often seen as an honor, regardless of the consequences of their actions.
While Farrow was paired with Coolidge, some of others paired for this year’s TIME100 list includes Mary Barra on Bob Iger, Mila Kunis on Zoe Saldaña, Amy Poehler on Aubrey Plaza, Hillary Rodham Clinton on Oleksandra Matviichuk, Tina Turner on Angela Bassett, Sue Bird on Brittney Griner, Yo-Yo Ma on Laurene Powell Jobs, Jimmy Fallon on Drew Barrymore, Emma Stone on Nathan Fielder, Bill Frist on Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi on Hakeem Jeffries, among others.
In her article about Coolidge for Time, Farrow revealed that the two ladies first met last year while shooting the Netflix series The Watcher on a soundstage in Brooklyn.
After confessing she long admired Coolidge and her work as an actress, Farrow would go on highlight the qualities that she feels is the reason why ‘everyone falls in love with her’, which include ‘her eccentric mannerisms, hilarious improvisations, and, most of all, aching vulnerability.’
Farrow went on to boast that Coolidge’s ‘honesty and kindness make her a friend anyone would be lucky to have.’
Farrow first gained recognition for her role Allison MacKenzie on the soap opera Peyton Place (1964-1966).
But she would see her star rise as the leading lady in the classic psychological horror film Rosemary’s Baby (1968), which was just her fourth film role.
