In June, Phoebe appeared with her father Bill at the TIME 100 Gala in New York City, where they posed for father-daughter photos.

The philanthropist donned a classic black tuxedo for the occasion, while his daughter sported a fashionable mesh dress.

"So honored to attend #Time100 with my dad," she wrote in a social media post. "I felt so inspired by all these change-makers."
