Alix Earle, Olandria and More Shoes at the 2026 TIME100 Creators Event

The first Time 100 Creators list was published this month, and the gala was held Thursday, which saw 70 out of the 100 featured in attendance, including Alix Earle, Olandria Carthen, Maura Higgins, and more.

Earle, who has built a career from her TikTok fame, arrived at the event wearing the new Valentino Garavani Rockstud Kidskin pumps. The heels feature platinum-finish studs, with a metal toe cap that decorates the shoe’s elongated toe.

The shoes, which have a four-inch heel, feature a strappy, cagelike design and an adjustable strap; they retail for $1,190. She paired the look with a sheer, lace midi-length turtleneck dress, which she completed with a Valentino silk and linen-blend canvas jacket in beige.

Carthen wore a striking gray dotted Mugler structured blazer dress featuring architectural peplum hips and a daring plunging neckline, an ensemble that Beyoncé wore in 2025. The “Love Island” star paired the look with a pair of classic black pumps with a modern silhouette. The shoes were made from black patent leather and feature a sharp and elongated pointed-toe design that gives them some edge. The shoes feature a stiletto heel measuring around four inches.

Higgins went for an all-black look for the affair. She arrived wearing a sleeveless, high boatneck black evening gown featuring unique symmetric side cutouts at the waist and a voluminous bubble-style skirt. She paired the dress with a pair of sleek black pumps.

The shoe features a distinct, ultra-sharp pointed toe with a deep V-neck cut at the vamp. The top edge of the vamp dips into a dramatic, sharp V-shape over the foot, which flatters the feet. The exterior material has a glossy, highly reflective, mirrorlike patent leather sheen.

Rowe wore an open-back draped crepe maxidress with a rich, two-tone mushroom and olive palette. The social media star appeared to be wearing the Jeffrey Campbell Agent tortoise vinyl peep-toe slide sandals to the event. The tortoise open-toe mules feature a glossy tortoiseshell finish and a striking stiletto heel.
