Demi Moore Takes TIME Summit Stage With Her Scene-Stealing Canine Companion

Hollywood icon Demi Moore recently graced the TIME Summit stage with an unexpected co-star – her tiny chihuahua Pilaf, whom she affectionately described as “the best scene-stealer” in her latest Instagram post.

The 61-year-old actress shared a series of photos from the prestigious event, showing her engaged in what she called “a beautiful conversation” with TIME’s Lucy Feld, all while her diminutive canine companion remained perched comfortably in her arms throughout the discussion.

This appearance follows Moore’s recent recognition in the TIME100 Next issue, which she celebrated in an earlier Instagram post, writing she was “incredibly honored to be recognized in 2025’s TIME100 Next issue, in the great company of my fellow nominees.” The actress shared professional photos from the TIME photoshoot, showcasing her continuing relevance in the entertainment industry decades into her career.

The TIME Summit appearance comes amid a particularly busy and successful period for Moore. Just last month, she was featured on the cover of People magazine’s “World’s Most Beautiful” issue, where she discussed her relationship with aging and body image. In the accompanying caption to those photos, she noted her appreciation for “what it means to feel beautiful in your own skin — starting from the inside out.”

Moore has been experiencing a career renaissance following her critically acclaimed performance in the body horror film “The Substance,” which premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival to strong reviews, particularly for her performance. People magazine acknowledged this in their coverage, stating: “Long a beauty icon, Demi Moore delivered the performance of her career in The Substance — and proved she’s never been more comfortable in her own skin.”

The actress, who first rose to prominence in the 1980s with films like “St. Elmo’s Fire” and “About Last Night,” before becoming one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses in the 1990s with blockbusters like “Ghost,” “Indecent Proposal,” and “G.I. Jane,” has been open about embracing new challenges in this phase of her career.

The TIME Summit is just one of several high-profile events Moore has attended recently. Earlier this month, she was spotted at the Time100 Gala, where she wore a custom Gap Studio ensemble designed by Zac Posen and Kim Jones, styled by Brad Goreski. She described the experience as “an absolute honor” in her social media posts.

Beyond her acting work, Moore has also been involved in other projects, including serving as an executive producer for the documentary “Common Ground,” which explores regenerative agriculture. The film premiered worldwide on Earth Day on Prime Video, with Moore expressing passion for the project, saying it “shows how we are getting the food we eat…and how it affects us, and the planet.”

While Moore’s professional achievements continue to impress, her tiny companion Pilaf has become an increasingly visible presence in her public life. The chihuahua has accompanied Moore to numerous events, including film festivals and galas, often nestled in her arms during interviews and photo opportunities.

This consistent inclusion of her pet at professional engagements speaks to Moore’s comfort in blending her personal and professional worlds – something she seems to embrace more freely at this stage of her career.

Moore’s Instagram account provides glimpses into their bond, with several posts showcasing Pilaf in various settings. The small dog has clearly become an important part of Moore’s life, joining her even at prestigious professional engagements like the TIME Summit.

Fans of Moore can look forward to seeing her in the second season of “Landman,” which she confirmed is “officially back in production” in a recent social media post. This follows her return to television in recent years after primarily focusing on film throughout much of her career.

As Moore continues this productive phase of her career, balancing prestigious speaking engagements, magazine covers, film roles, and television projects, she appears to be embracing both the professional opportunities and the personal touches – like bringing Pilaf along – that make this stage of her journey uniquely her own.

The TIME Summit appearance with her four-legged companion perfectly encapsulates this blend of professional accomplishment and personal authenticity that seems to characterize Moore’s current approach to her public life.
