Nicola Coughlan, Sabrina Carpenter and Amelia Dimoldenberg were among the honorees at the Time100 Next gala, which took place in Chelsea Piers in New York City last night.

The annual gala features honorees from TIME magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world, a yearly round up that includes figures from entertainment, sport, activism, music, literature, technology and more.

This year's list included Carpenter, Coughlan and Dimoldenberg, as well as Shogun actress Anna Sawai, creator and star of Baby Reindeer Richard Gadd, model Kaia Gerber and more.

Bridgerton executive producer Shonda Rhimes wrote a tribute to Nicola for the special issue, stating that the Galway woman was "her own diamond of every season".

The gala featured short speeches from some of the honorees, including Coughlan, who raised a toast to former Irish president Mary Robinson, whom she's admired since she "was a little girl".

Coughlan drew comparisons between the significance of Ireland electing its first female president and the possibly of America doing the same next month with Kamala Harris, and reiterated Robinson's call on President Biden to work toward peace in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza.

The gala also included a special performance from Carpenter, who has been dazzling fans on her Short n' Sweet Tour.

And, of course, the dress code for such a gala was typically spectacular. Carpenter wore a shimmering silver gown that had a form-fitting silhouette, a sweetheart neckline and a matching scarf detail. She paired this with towering silver platform shoes.

Coughlan, meanwhile, opted for a voluminous black ballgown with off-the-shoulder detailing, custom designed for her by Christan Dior and styled as always by Aimee Croysdill. She also added her Artists for Ceasefire pin.
