Mia Farrow, 78, stuns in off-white velvet dress out as she step out with son Roman at TIME 100 Gala

Some of the most influential pioneers and cultural newsmakers were honored at the TIME 100 Galapresented by Jennifer Coolidge, on Wednesday at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City.

The annual event honors those the magazine has selected as the 100 most influential people in the world for 2023.

One of the newsmakers who made this year’s TIME100 list, Mia Farrow, who was paired with Jennifer Coolidge, was set to hit the red carpet with her son Ronan Farrow.

The 78-year-old actress, whose first lead role was in Roman Polanski’s critically acclaimed psychological horror film Rosemary’s Baby, struck a number of poses with Ronan by her side and another round on her own.

The Los Angeles native (née Maria de Lourdes Villiers Farrow), 78, stunned in what appeared to be an off-white velvet dress that fell just above her feet, which were adorned with black sandals.

The sleeveless number and plunging neckline helped show off her lean figure with its perfect fit.

For the prestigious event, Farrow had her blonde curly locks styled long and down over her chest in the front, as well as about the middle of her back, parted in the middle.

She accessorized with a pair of bracelets and a small black handbag.

Ronan Farrow, 35, showed off his fashion sense decked out in a gold-patterned suit that he paired with a white shirt and black shoes.

The New York City native, the only biological child of Mia Farrow and her former longtime partner Woody Allen, had his blonde locks growing over his ears, but pushed it off his face with a small part on the left side.

The journalist, known for his investigative reporting of sexual assault allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein that was published in The New Yorker magazine, would also strike a few solo poses for the adoring photographers.

The New Yorker won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for its coverage of Weinstein, sharing the award with The New York Times.

Serving as an extension of Time Magazine’s iconic list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, the gala included most of the newsmakers and do-gooders chosen for the 2023 edition.

The 2023 TIME100 features 16 climate leaders, a record number for the list, including Anthony Albanese, Gustavo Petro, Catherine Coleman Flowers, Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, Robin Zeng and more.

Along with Coolidge, the entertainers on this year’s list are Michael B. Jordan, Austin Butler, Zoe Saldaña, Angela Bassett, Aubrey Plaza, Colin Farrell, Drew Barrymore, Jerrod Carmichael, Ali Wong, Salma Hayek Pinault and Nathan Fielder.

The list was first published in 1999 as a result of a debate between American academics, politicians and journalists and is now a highly publicized annual event.

Appearing on the list, which is ultimately chosen by Time editors, is often seen as an honor, regardless of the consequences of their actions.

While Farrow was paired with Coolidge, a few others were paired this year TIME100 list incldes Mary Barra on Bob Iger, Mila Kunis on Zoe Saldaña, Amy Poehler on Aubrey Plaza, Hillary Rodham Clinton on Oleksandra Matviichuk, Tina Turner on Angela Bassett, Sue Bird on Brittney Griner, Yo-Yo Ma on Laurene Powell Jobs, Jimmy Fallon on Drew Barrymore, Emma Stone on Nathan Fielder, Bill Frist on Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi on Hakeem Jeffries, among others.

In her article on Coolidge for Time, Farrow revealed that the two ladies first met last year while filming the Netflix series The Watcher on a soundstage in Brooklyn.

After confessing that she had long admired Coolidge and her work as an actress, Farrow would go on to highlight the qualities she says are why “everyone falls in love with her,” including “her eccentric mannerisms, hilarious improvisations and, the most of all, painful vulnerability.”

Farrow further boasted that Coolidge’s “honesty and kindness make her a friend everyone should have.”

Farrow first gained recognition for her role as Allison MacKenzie on the soap opera Peyton Place (1964-1966).

But she would see her star rise as the leading lady in the classic psychological horror film Rosemary’s Baby (1968), which was only her fourth film role.

Around the same time she was making Rosemary’s Baby, she also gained further recognition for her subsequent short-lived marriage to Frank Sinatra.

Her resume as a recording artist also includes John and Mary (1969), Follow Me! (1972), The Great Gatsby (1974), Death On The Nile (1978), and a number of collaborations with actor-director Woody Allen, such as The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), Hannah and Her Sisters (1987), and Alice ( 1990)

Farrow dated Allen from 1980 to 1992, appearing in 13 of his 14 films during that time.

Their relationship ended in 1992 when Allen’s intimate relationship with Soon-Yi Previn (Farrow’s adopted daughter, who was 21 years old at the time) was made public.
