Sheryl Lee Ralph, Teyana Taylor, Queen Latifah, Jordan Chiles & More Shine at Time’s 2026 Women of the Year Gala

March 19, 2026

When influential women such as Teyana Taylor, Jordan Chiles, and Queen Latifah share the same room, the energy is unmistakably bold.

That translates to fearless style, unshakable attitude, and striking beauty. These women do not hold back.

That exact energy was on display at the 2026 Time Women of the Year Gala, which took place on March 10 in Los Angeles. Each honoree and guest gathered to honor Time’s annual list of women whose influence shapes culture, leadership, and the world around us.

This year’s roster included powerhouses like Sheryl Lee Ralph and Lucy Liu.

Meanwhile, Teyana graced this year’s magazine issue, acknowledging the moment she is experiencing across entertainment. From acting to fashion to music, the multi-hyphenate star continues to redefine what a modern creative looks like. At the same time, she is shaping hair and beauty trends. She is also showing other mothers how to balance motherhood and career—a Harlem-born woman proving you really can do it all.

Each year, Time selects women whose impact on the world is, frankly, impossible to ignore. The celebration highlights those who are changing the game and moving conversations forward across culture, business, and beyond.

Of course, with so many icons in one room, the fashion moments are bound to be bold. The red carpet showcased daring silhouettes, lush color palettes, and pure luxe glamour.

Teyana arrived in one of the evening’s most striking ensembles, a sculptural Schiaparelli creation that commanded attention.

Styled by Wayman + Micah, the look featured a copper-toned molded bodice paired with a dramatic black feathered skirt and hip embellishment.

The silhouette sculpted her shape while injecting architectural drama into the moment.

Teyana’s beauty look enhanced the overall statement. Her hair was styled into a sleek, sculpted pixie with vintage finger-wave detailing at the front, infusing Old Hollywood glamour with a contemporary edge.

The makeup highlighted bronzed skin, sculpted cheekbones, a soft smoky eye, and glossy nude lips. Statement earrings added sparkle while keeping the dramatic dress as the centerpiece.

Bottom line: Teyana owned this look, just as we expected.

As noted, this night belonged to the women, but there are plenty of other standout looks still being talked about.
