At the 2025 Met Gala, Lewis Hamilton paid tribute to Black history with a custom Burberry ensemble inspired by John Ystumllyn, the first Black gardener in Wales. His all-black outfit featured a tailored coat with floral bullion trim, a silk double-breasted suit, and leather saddle boots. The look was further enhanced by thorns symbolizing the pain of the transatlantic slave trade, while a poem titled The Gardener by Alex Wharton was embroidered inside the jacket, adding a powerful and personal layer to his tribute.
