A Triumphant Week for Demi Moore

This week marked a significant moment for actress Demi Moore, who garnered the titles of “World’s Most Beautiful” by People magazine and one of TIME’s “World’s Most Influential People.” The recognition follows her standout performance in the acclaimed body horror film The Substance, which has earned her several award nominations.

Gala Highlights

At the prestigious 2025 TIME100 Gala held at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Moore made a striking appearance wearing an elegant ivory gown. The stunning design was a custom creation by Zac Posen and Kim Jones, crafted at Gap Studio. Styled by Brad Goreski, the gown featured:

• A draped and pleated silhouette
• A twisted halter neckline that led to a flowy bodice
• A cinched waistline with a twisted sash
• A long ethereal skirt with a thigh-high slit

To complement her ensemble, Moore wore a matching ivory satin blazer, presenting a chic and sophisticated look.

Accessorizing with Elegance

Moore chose classic jewelry pieces for the occasion, including:

• Drop diamond earrings composed of two strands totaling 24 diamonds
• A between-the-finger ring encrusted with three marquise diamonds
• A chunky diamond bangle on her left arm

Her makeup was kept simple and radiant, paired with her signature long, straight hair cascading down her shoulders.

A Reflective Speech

During the event, Moore took the stage to express her gratitude for the recognition. She shared her thoughts on time, stating:

“I have to say, all of this, and being here, has had me thinking a lot about time. We chase it, we schedule it, we say we don’t have enough—or that we’re running out of it. And sometimes, if we’re honest, we waste it, thinking about, or stressing over, things that haven’t happened, or reliving things we’ve already survived.”

She further reflected on the importance of appreciating the present, concluding:

“The truth is, you can’t run out of time when you’re living in the present.”

Looking Back at the Year

In a pre-gala conversation with TIME, Moore discussed her recent experiences, including her reaction to her Oscar loss to Mikey Madison. She remarked on her calm demeanor when Madison was announced as the winner, mentioning:

“I leaned over and whispered to my manager, ‘I think it’s going to Mikey.’ I don’t know why I knew, but I did.”

Her poise reflected a deep acceptance and understanding of her journey in the entertainment industry.
