A Burberry breakthrough, 2013–2015
Gill made her catwalk debut for Burberry at London Fashion Week in September 2013, and in 2014 became the first Indian model featured in a Burberry campaign — a milestone that shaped much of her early public profile.

Beauty ambassadorship and continued work, 2017 onward
In 2017, Gill became L’Oréal Paris’s first British Indian ambassador, the same year she fronted a Stylist magazine cover and became Marie Claire’s first digital cover star. Her editorial and campaign record includes Vogue India and a British Airways campaign alongside Suki Waterhouse.
