The red carpet may have kicked things off, but the real fun was just getting started!
Hollywood's LGBTQ+ stars, trailblazers, and allies gathered in Los Angeles for the 2026 Out100, a night dedicated to celebrating the people making their mark on the community and the world. With so much talent under one roof, the evening was filled with laughter, love, and the kind of queer joy that makes the Out100 so special.
Presented by Lexus, this year's Out100 recognized an incredible group of LGBTQ+ changemakers, including Out's November/December cover star Andrew Scott, who received the Icon of the Year Award.
Ginger Minj and Miss Bouvèé hosted the festivities, bringing plenty of personality and entertainment to the stage. Ginger Minj paid tribute to Dolly Parton with a performance of "Backwards Barbie," while Miss Bouvèé sang "This Is Me" alongside The Tatted Violinist.
The evening also featured some unforgettable moments, including Lisa Kudrow channeling her beloved The Comeback character Valerie Cherish while presenting Scott with his Icon of the Year Award. The actor then delivered a moving acceptance speech celebrating queer resilience and friendship.
Legendary comedian and LGBTQ+ icon Lily Tomlin honored her longtime friend Dolly Parton before introducing Dolly's sister, Stella Parton, who accepted The Advocate's Advocate of the Year Award on behalf of the late music legend.
Out100 honoree Eugene Daniels, coanchor of MS NOW's The Weekend, also took the stage to introduce The Advocate Journalism Project, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ journalism.
Beyond the awards and performances, guests mingled, posed for photos, and enjoyed a night surrounded by friends, peers, and some of the community's brightest talents. Many of this year's honorees also gathered onstage for a class photo, marking a special moment for the 2026 Out100.
Special thanks to queer photographers Presley Ann of Getty Images and Willa Salam Cutolo for capturing the moments that made this year's celebration so memorable.
