\n\tJanelle Mon\u00e1e forewent the Christian Siriano gown<\/a> worn on the 2026 Met Gala<\/a> red carpet for a sleek and stylish Gaurav Gupta design at the Boom after party<\/a> in New York City on Monday night.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe artist styled a look from the eponymous designer\u2019s spring 2025 couture collection<\/a>. The design put a contemporary spin on the little black dress, with Mon\u00e1e wearing a black mini look with long sleeves and pointed shoulders for angular accentuation.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the bodice of the dress, a cast metal breast plate created sartorial friction and added contrast, emphasizing the modern variation of the design. Mon\u00e1e added a pair of pointed-toe heels to the look and accessorized with dazzling nail designs and a pair of black sunglasses.<\/p>\n

\n\tGaurav Gupta\u2019s spring 2025 couture collection made its runway debut as part of Paris Couture Week in January 2025. Inspired by the designer and his life partner, poet and performer Navkirat Sodhi\u2019s, healing journey following a fire that left Sodhi with 55 percent burns\u00a0on her body.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGupta expanded on his experimentation with cast metal, creating breastplates and half masks evoking both alienation and protection, while signature jewelry pieces evoked the chakras. His dramatic sculpted and looped dresses, which have made him a red-carpet favorite, created voluminous swirls around the models\u2019 bodies,\u201d Alex Wynne wrote in WWD\u2019s review of the collection.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe color palette was heavily informed by their experience, with a deep ochre satin twisted to create structured bodices evoking rising flames or a fluid jersey in the same shade draped over a pair of models in an interlinked dress representing the twin flame experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
