When tech entrepreneur made her debut at the Met Gala in 2024, she was the mystery guest who immediately turned heads with her butterfly dress and kinetic sleeves. Returning to Met Gala 2025, one of fashion’s biggest events this year, Patel managed to surprise guests once again, but this time with a robotic dog, that she brought along with her on the red carpet. 

After wearing a custom Iris Van Apfel with kinetic sleeves styled by Law Roach last year, this time around Patel wore a custom ensemble by American fashion designer Thom Browne for the gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; this was accompanied by a mechanical spinal cord by Lisa Jiang and Timothy Bowl. She paired the ensemble with a hat by Miodrag Gubernic, and shoes by Rene Caovilla – to complete the entire look.
