Gabby Thomas turns heads in a red dress at Time's Impact Dinner after earning a spot in List of The Closers

Gabby Thomas recently stole the show at the Time's Impact Dinner after making it to the 25-member list of The Closers. Following her Paris Olympics heroics, Thomas has been busy making appearances at several media and event engagements.

She recently appeared at the Time's Impact Dinner held on February 13, 2025, in New York City. Time unveiled its 2025 "The Closers" list, featuring 25 Black leaders dedicated to fighting inequality.

For the star-studded evening, Thomas was seen donning a long red dress that featured golden rings. She opted for big hoops and completed the look with silver strapped heels. Sharing the pictures from the night, Thomas wrote:

"@time ‘s The Closers Impact Dinner ❤️"

The dinner was held only a few weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end what he called "DEI discrimination in the federal workplace." Thomas was inducted into the elite list alongside actor, and director Colman Domingo, Senator Raphael Warnock, founder of BirthFUND Elaine Welteroth, CEO of the National Black Justice Collective David J. Johns, actor Niecy Nash, and more.

She further shared a mirror selfie, where the five-time Olympic medalist was seen donning a black one-side off-shoulder dress and added a black heart emoji.

Gabby Thomas secured a gold medal in the 4x100m relay event alongside Sha'Carri Richardson, Twanisha Terry, and Melissa Jefferson at the Paris Games. Thomas, who ran the third leg highlighted the inspiring message passed by Allyson Felix and Carmelita Jeter that motivated them to dominate in Paris.

"Seeing them pass the baton to us—literally, no pun intended—it just meant so much, " Thomas said. "We had such a short amount of time to get it together, but we went into it having a shared goal and wanting to continue the legacy. It’s a special bond and moment, especially in a sport where most of it is individual." (via cosmopolitian.com)

Felix and Jeter, along with other teammates dominated the 4x100m relay event at the 2012 London Games. Felix also led the team to the gold medal in the event at the 2016 Rio Games.
