The Alpine skiing queen, Mikaela Shiffrin was also in attendance. On the red carpet, she met the Hollywood superstar Michael B Jordan.
Mikaela Shiffrin was looking gorgeous and turning heads with a black floor-length gown that had silver stone work, a piece of art that complimented her figure perfectly. While walking the red carpet, she had the pleasure of meeting none other than Michael B Jordan, the American actor, producer, and director. Shiffrin also added a photo with Jordan on Twitter, and wrote in the caption, “Okaaaaay, I’m just going to leave this right here. 🫣🤯🤩 #TIME100 @TIME”. Seems like she might be having a fangirl moment there.
