TIME released its iconic, annual list of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” and among the list are legendary household names like Doja Cat, Steve Lacey, Angela Bassett and more.
This edition offers four worldwide covers, highlighting Doja Cat, Jennifer Coolidge, Bob Iger and Michael B. Jordan. Complementing the features, each honoree was paired with a high-profile contributor to curate an expert tribute.
Some collaborations included Chloe Bailey explaining why Steve Lacy is a force to be reckoned with, “in a world where everything’s so contrived, he just wants to nerd out and be free, and that makes him a force to be reckoned with," she said.
Australian film director, Baz Luhrmann defined Doja Cat as a “new kind of star,” adding that “she’s at the top because she works to bring everything she does to the highest possible level."
In celebration of the list being revealed, TIME100 will be hosting the TIME100 Gala on April 26. TIME Chief Executive Officer, Jessica Sibley announced that “we are thrilled to recognize this year's list of the world's most influential people. We look forward to convening the TIME100 community—one of the largest leadership communities in the world—to spotlight and hear from individuals who are wielding their influence to drive positive action toward a better world.”
