Jennifer Coolidge cemented her rise to the A-list on Wednesday night when she stunned at the Time 100 Gala in a dazzling black dress.
The White Lotus superstar, 61 – who is gearing up to take Australia by storm – stole the spotlight in her elegant look with a series of silver scales embellishing her shoulders, forearms and skirt.
Coolidge wore her blonde locks pulled back, allowing feathery locks to frame her flawless face, making maximum impact with smoky eyes and a thick pout of blush.
The bombshell carried a flashy handbag and sheathed her hands in translucent black gloves.
This year’s Time 100 gala honored Coolidge and 99 others, including Kim Kardashian, John Legend, Lauren Powell Jobs, Steven Spielberg, Nancy Pelosi and more.

“She’s still the same person she always was, but the fame and recognition have made things different,” explained the source, who added that Jennifer is “living much more comfortably now” as a result of her comeback.
“She gets a lot more opportunities coming her way and her days are a lot busier than they used to be. The fact that it has been so well received and celebrated has changed my life.”
They added, “For her, it’s like all the hard work is paying off and then some. She’s still pinching herself that it’s really happening.’
