Pats coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, StyleBoston correspondent Linda Holliday, were among the familiar faces Tuesday at the TIME 100 Gala celebrating Time’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Belichick traded his hoodie for a tux while Holliday wore a navy silk gazar trumpet gown from designer Michael De Paulo’s spring 2012 collection. “Michael and I are friends and he’d been after me to look at his spring collection,’’ Holliday said. “This dress was just perfect.’’ In a crowd that included moguls, movie stars, business leaders, and ballplayers, who did Holliday hang out with? “Chelsea Handler was hysterical, everything you’d expect, and I spent a brief moment with Hillary Clinton, who’s absolutely one of the best politicians in the course of history.’’ (The two had met previously at the dedication of the Clinton Library in Arkansas.) Belichick, meanwhile, stuck with the sports types, chatting up Jeremy Lin, the Harvard alum who took the NBA by storm this season before injuring his knee, and Bill Bradley, the former New Jersey senator who had a terrific career with the New York Knicks. Lest Pats fans worry that Belichick isn’t sufficiently focused on the NFL Draft, which takes place Thursday, Holliday said she and Bill rushed right home to get back to the Pats’s war room. “Oh, we were back by 7 a.m.,’’ she said. “I’m telling you, when there’s work to do he’s focused.’’
