Hollywood icons Blake Lively and Demi Moore were among the biggest stars honored at the star-studded TIME100 Gala held this week, and they absolutely owned the night, from the red carpet to the main stage.
The annual TIME100 Gala, which celebrates the 100 most influential people in the world, was hosted in New York City and brought together global changemakers, celebrities, activists, and industry leaders. But it was Lively and Moore who truly captured everyone’s attention.
Blake Lively turned heads in a shimmering black-and-gold gown that lit up the room. The Gossip Girl star was recognized for her ongoing impact in film, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy. Known for her successful ventures outside of acting, including her non-alcoholic mixer brand, Lively has continued to use her platform to speak on important social issues.
“I feel incredibly lucky to be in a position where my voice can reach people,” Blake said during her acceptance. “And I want to make sure I use it to uplift others, especially women.”
Demi Moore, on the other hand, received a standing ovation after delivering one of the most powerful speeches of the night. The 61-year-old actress was honored for her decades-long career and her fierce advocacy for mental health and addiction awareness.
In a heartfelt moment, Moore opened up about her journey, saying, “I’ve walked through fire to get here, and I’m still walking. But every step forward is a victory—for me and for anyone who’s ever struggled.”
The event was packed with other big names like Patrick Mahomes, Taraji P. Henson, and Dua Lipa, but Blake and Demi’s presence dominated social media throughout the night. Fans praised their style, strength, and authenticity, making them trending topics on Twitter and Instagram.
The TIME100 Gala didn’t just highlight fame—it spotlighted real influence. And with their blend of grace, glamour, and grit, Blake Lively and Demi Moore reminded the world why they continue to inspire millions.
Their unforgettable appearance is already being called one of the most talked-about moments of the year.
