Cheer up, buttercup–there’s always next year.
The stars all stepped out for the annual TIME 100 gala in celebration of the magazine’s 100 Most Influential People In The World List. After being named one of the most influential artists of 2013, Frank Ocean didn’t make the cut this year, but he still suited up for the event, which was held at Lincoln Center in NYC Tuesday evening.
Frank must be so busy working on his upcoming album that he couldn’t be bothered to put on a pair of dress shoes, so a pair of Sk8-Hi Vans had to do. Very skater chic of you, Frank.
He joined a legion of other very important people, from politicians to business leaders, all whom decidedly left their sneakers at home. Check out some of the attendees below.
