Let Melissa McCarthy Inspire You to Follow Your Dreams

What better way to celebrate a slew of primary wins than to attend a fancy gala? As news broke of presidential candidate Donald Trump’s delegate gains, he was walking the red carpet at the Time 100 in New York with his wife, Melania Trump. The White House hopeful and former model dressed up for the event, with he in a classic tux and she in pale pink dress with cutouts.

And they weren’t the only ones in black tie: Caitlyn Jenner, an honoree, wore a black off-the-shoulder gown; Karlie Kloss, a list member for her advocacy work with young girls and coding, modeled a figure-hugging gown from Victoria Beckham; cover star Priyanka Chopra opted for a white suit without a shirt; Nicki Minaj went simple (for her) in a black lace dress with knee-high boots, and more.

Ariana Grande performing in a Christian Siriano gown with a massive train was certainly a highlight and Nicki Minaj dedicating her hit “Anaconda” to Joe Biden and Donald Trump was too. (“I’m very political, and I would like to dedicate a song, just in the spirit of unity, to Joe Biden and Donald Trump,” she said.) But it was Melissa McCarthy’s funny and inspiring speech that topped the night. “I think at some point along the road so many people in this room were told ‘You cant do that. That’s not how you should think. You’re doing it wrong. You’re nuts. You’re crazy. That’s not how we do things. That’s not acceptable, there’s a way to do it,’” she said to the crowd. “And in one way or another, everybody in this room simply forged ahead. And thinking outside the box like that will change the world.”
