At the 2025 Met Gala, Quinta Brunson paid homage to Josephine Baker, channeling the legendary performer’s flapper-inspired style. She embraced the "Betty Boop Bang" trend, featuring swooping, finger-waved curls that echoed 1930s cartoon icon Betty Boop's signature look. This hairstyle, characterized by swooping, finger-waved curls or "s" shaped fringes, was showcased by several celebrities, including Ayo Edebiri, Simone Biles, Bebe Rexha, and Clairo, adapting the look uniquely to reflect both historical homage and modern flair.
