This is definitely sexy, and sort of neat, but I wonder if that would have been nicer as the back? Those diagonal cutouts in the front often create the illusion of wonkiness for me where there is none. It's still pretty good, though, even with the giant sailors' ropes.

## Bella Ramsey

You know, I love a statement watch. I'm just not sure that watch is making the best statement with this outfit.

## Tyler James Williams

Is this the first time we've seen his shin tattoo, or just the first time I've noticed? It's neat. I think this is a more effective version of formal shorts than Bella's? Maybe because it's going so OTT with the coat length; it somehow balances everything.

## Kristen Kish

If you have read Casey McQuiston's One Last Stop, then: Kristen Kish is EXACTLY how I picture Jane. I'm excited for her to take the Top Chef reins and I love this suit.

Now THAT is a great pop of metallic.

Victor is an experienced astronaut [who will become the first person of color to make a lunar journey](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2023/6308563/victor-j-glover-jr/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (he's going around the moon but not landing). He's very handsome, and his wife looks fab -- that purse is perfect.

Everette [is the first black CEO of Kickstarter](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2023/6308465/everette-taylor/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I kind of wish his jacket had a colorful pattern.

Pinky [founded a food truck called Slutty Vegan](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2023/6308471/pinky-cole/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and I want to go to there.

Mercy is [a lawyer representing multiple African plaintiffs in lawsuits against Meta](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2023/6308537/mercy-mutemi/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). And I am ENAMORED of the little dazzling piping on her dress, and how she made this pop with the green bag and shoes.

## Xiye Bastida

She [is a young climate activist](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2023/6308478/xiye-bastida/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and I am very, very sorry to her and to her generation for the fact that we messed that up so badly.

## Toyin Ajayi

Toyin is [a healthcare entrepreneur](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2023/6308523/toyin-ajayi/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Her dress looks super on her. It might be dark blue? Let's just pretend it isn't.

## Jalen Hurts

And Jalen is the QB of the Philadelphia Eagles, who came VERY close to winning last year's Kelce Bowl. Rematch!
