Raye Wears Custom Prada With Graff Diamonds at the TIME100 Next Gala
Raye wore a custom red and black Prada gown with Graff diamond earrings, a 7-carat ring and an Audemars Piguet watch to the TIME100 Next Gala.
Raye picked red for the 2026 TIME100 Next Gala, and she did it with a twist. The British singer was one of the night’s honorees, and she also performed. The party was Thursday, October 29, at Current at Chelsea Piers in New York City, and she showed up in a custom Prada gown.
The dress is color-blocked. The top is a black sweetheart bustier covered in beads and sequins, with a bow-like shape across the bust and thin black straps. From the waist down it’s a clean, fiery red column skirt that falls straight to the floor. The fun part is at the back, where long black sashes start at the waist and trail along the carpet behind her. It’s a bit retro, which suits her.
Her hair did the same thing. She wore her signature bob in a vintage style, with a curled piece falling over one side of her face. Makeup was classic too, with winged liner, a soft peachy-nude lip and long nude nails.
Then the jewelry, which was the real show. She wore Graff diamond Butterfly earrings and a 7-carat cushion-cut diamond ring with trapezoid diamond shoulder stones and a diamond band. On her wrist was a small silver Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini watch. She joined the brand’s family of friends in 2025, so it makes sense.
If you like a red carpet in red, here’s Molly Gordon’s red Valentino gown from the same night.
Raye is a singer-songwriter from London, and she’s known for “Escapism” and her album My 21st Century Blues. In 2024 she won six BRIT Awards in one night, a record, including Album of the Year. For more from the gala, see Joey King’s mint green Miu Miu gown and Eiza González’s silver Monse dress.
