Molly Gordon in Red Valentino Cady Couture Gown With Long Train

Molly Gordon went bold in red at the 2026 TIME100 Next Gala. The night was Thursday, October 29, at Current at Chelsea Piers in New York City, where TIME celebrated 100 rising names across entertainment, business, sports and more. Molly was on the guest list with Raye, Troye Sivan, Conan Gray and Marisa Abela.

Molly Gordon Wearing Red Valentino Long-Sleeve Gown

Her dress was a Valentino Cady Couture long dress, and it’s all about the shape. It’s a column in a rich, true red, with a high funnel neck and long sleeves that sit loose at the shoulder and gather in at the wrists. No beads, no cutouts, nothing flashy. The drama is at the back, where the fabric gathers around the hips and spills into a long sweeping train that followed her down the carpet. She turned around for the cameras to show it off, which was a smart move.

Her hair was dark brunette, parted in the middle and worn long in loose, soft waves. Makeup stayed natural, with glowy skin and a rosy nude lip, and she matched her nails to the dress with a red manicure. A couple of thin rings were the only jewelry you could see. She carried a Valentino Devain small shoulder bag with eyelets.

If you want to see a different side of her style, here’s Molly Gordon’s Jimmy Fallon look, a black collared dress with Jimmy Choo pumps.

Molly is an actress best known for playing Claire on The Bear, and for Theater Camp, Booksmart, Shiva Baby and Oh, Hi! Red Valentino has been a red carpet favorite this year too, and Dakota Johnson’s Valentino TIME100 Gala look is a good one to compare.
