The 15th annual TIME 100 gala celebrating TIME's list of the world's most influential people took place on Tuesday at Lincoln Center in New York City.
And three paragons of style - Taylor Swift, Brie Larson and Emilia Clarke - led the luminaries as they arrived at the Frederick P. Rose Hall for the fabulous soiree.
Swift, 29, commanded attention in a fairy-tale pink and yellow gown as Larson, 29, gave fans a charge in a revealing green number and Clarke, 32, stole the spotlight in a red sheer bodice dress.
The event will feature performances by Swift and Khalid, honorary tributes from members of this year's list and remarks from TIME Editor-in-Chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal.
The outing is Swift's first red carpet appearance since the pop star announced she will be releasing a new project, presumably music, on Friday, April 26.
Swift donned a gorgeous pale pink and yellow J. Mendel gown from the Spring Collection featuring an off-the-shoulders design and billowing sleeves.
She appeared to be wearing a custom ombre yellow pair of the Chloe Gosselin Tori sandal that added height to her 5'10" frame.
Her trademark golden blonde tresses were swept back in a renaissance-style braid with a floral head band adding to her flair.

Fellow pop sensation Shawn Mendes wrote about Swift for the annual issue.
'It all comes from her – her belief in magic and love, and her ability to be as honest and raw as possible,' he revealed.
