Graham was wearing a black slinky dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slits and she tripped when her heels got caught in her dress. The 29-year-old model recovered quickly and laughed off the incident as she posed for photographs.
Graham was featured on the Time 100, an annual list of 100 influential people in the world. Graham was honoured by Tyra Banks, who called the plus-sized model fashion industry's new queen. "I am beyond proud, in admiration and in awe of your power and influence over so many people's self-worth," said Banks. "It is time for everyone to bow down to the fashion industry's—no, make that beauty's—new queen."
Before the event kicked off, Graham opened up to People magazine: "I think that a lot of women judge themselves and they judge themselves on the way that they look, whether it's skin, age, race, size, class, all of it, and if you just saw the woman in the mirror and you just really accepted who she was and started looking at yourself as a role model, things might change in your life."
John Legend, Simone Biles, Viola Davis, Emma Stone, James Corden, Ed Sheeran, Margot Robbie, and Sarah Paulson also made the list.
