“Flau’jae’s look is a celebration of evolution — a visual narrative of a young woman blossoming into her purpose and power,” stylist Amiraa V told E! News.
Her presence made the Gala’s guest roster more vibrant. Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, speaking to Good Morning America, described the event’s theme as a tribute to “arbiters of style” and their cultural legacy.
“I see freedom. I see liberation. I see hope,” Wintour said.
Johnson’s childhood struggles and indomitable will to juggle her sporting career and her father’s legacy are testaments to her ability to embody the event’s essence perfectly.
Flau’jae Johnson’s 2025 Outlook with LSU
While Johnson’s off-court popularity rises daily, her on-court performance is not taking a step backward.
A two-time All-SEC selection, she’s been significant in LSU’s women’s basketball resurgence under Hall-of-Fame coach Kim Mulkey.
The Tigers, who won the 2023 national championship, followed with two Elite Eight appearances and a 31–6 record in 2024-25, finishing eighth in the final AP poll.
Johnson’s growth, from 11.0 points per game as a freshman to 18.6 as a junior, earned her Third-team All-American honors in 2025. With her WNBA draft stock rising, Johnson’s versatility makes her a projected first-round pick.
