Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon made their first public appearance as husband and wife last night, and what better place to do it than the Time 100 Most Influential People party. Mariah performed for the crowd with her bejeweled and tattooed man watching alongside some very big names.

As usual, the brainpower in the room was incredible between so many extraordinary people.
