The Time 100 Gala's dress code was basically 'wear black or don't come'

The cherry blossoms are in bloom, which means it's time for all the most important influential people to gather in New York City! At the annual Time 100 Gala, pretty much everyone who was anyone showed up, and that list included Bradley Cooper, Laverne Cox, Karlie Kloss, and (of course) Kanye and Kim. But entry was basically barred for anyone who couldn't find a Power Black Suit/Dress. After all, it's the color of true influence. Need proof?

Exhibit A: Faith Hill and Tim McGraw

Exhibit B: Katie Couric

Exhibit C: Emma Watson

Exhibit D: Kanye and Kim

Exhibit E: Julianne Moore

A few people, like Lindsey Vonn, went rogue and wore white.

But honestly, look what happened to poor Amy Schumer when she tried to wear NAVY BLUE.

It's OK, Amy, didn't you hear? Inside Amy Schumer already got renewed for Season 4, hours before the debut of Season 3! That's influence, girl.
