At the 2025 Met Gala, Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas dazzled in a custom red off-the-shoulder gown by Ahluwalia, featuring intricate beadwork and a structured waistcoat. Her ensemble paid homage to Black dandyism, aligning with the evening's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." Gabby complemented her look with diamond earrings and a sleek beauty look by Charlotte Tilbury, including a modern take on the Betty Boop bangs hairstyle.
