LSU Tigers' Flau'jae Johnson stunned the college basketball world with her look at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday. Johnson has grown to be one of the biggest names in women's basketball over the years behind her on-court stints and dual career as a musician. Not only does she regularly perform and drop tracks but she also collaborates with high-profile artists to keep fans on edge.
With that, Johnson has become the highest paid NIL player in all of women's college basketball. The guard utilized her stature for her first-ever appearance at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Johnson partnered with cosmetics and makeup brand CoverGirl for a dreamy outfit.
Flau'jae Johnson donned a contrasting and body-hugging couture-style gown that showcased a structured column in the middle. The sweetheart neckline was adorned with petal-like ivory folds and was complimented by high flared black sculptural sleeves to create a cape-like effect. The LSU star finished the look with black heels and a celestial-style necklace and earrings.
Johnson uploaded a series of snaps from her bold look at the 2025 Met Gala, thanking the cosmetic brand and stylists, artists, hairdresser and everyone else involved in her jaw-dropping look.

With that, Johnson also shared her desire to prepare herself for the big league:
