Red carpet held ahead of TIME100 Gala at New York City's Lincoln Center

NEW YORK CITY -- Some of the most influential people in the world gathered together in Manhattan on Thursday night for the TIME100 Gala.

TIME rolled out the red carpet before the star-studded gala at Frederick P. Rose Hall, the home of jazz at Lincoln Center.

The gala featured some of its 100 most influential people of 2024, including icons, leaders, trailblazers and trendsetters from across industries and nations.

Among the people being honored Thursday night was a member of the ABC family, "Live" host Kelly Ripa, who was there with her husband and co-host Mark Consuelos.

She talked about how she's been so successful in the business for so many years.

Actor, playwright and director Colman Domingo was also honored.

"It feels incredible, it's like a dream.. it really is," Domingo said. "To be on a list with people who you believe are doing incredible things in this world."

You'll have a chance to see the gala too. The TIME100 primetime television special will air on Sunday, May 12 at 10/9c on ABC and the next day on Hulu.

The special will bring viewers inside the gala, hosted by actor Taraji P. Henson., who said it feels amazing to be honored after over 20 years.

When asked what she would want her future self to remember about the moment, Henson said, "I would just be proud of her for sticking to the pact she made with God. Making this gift he gave me accessible for everybody -- art is bigger than one single person."

The 18th annual gala will feature performances by Dua Lipa and Fantasia Barrino and the presentation of a TIME Impact Award to Michael J. Fox.
