Shah Rukh Khan has embraced ‘dandyism’ in his style for many decades and the MET Gala was not different. MET Gala 2025 marked the global superstar’s debut on the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art’s stairs.
Even in uniformity, Sabyasachi maintained Shah Rukh Khan’s individuality. An homage to the iconic house insignia, the Royal Bengal Tiger, its beauty, ferocity and strength was celebrated with Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh walked on the blue carpet sporting a walking stick—a handcrafted wooden beauty with a solid gold tiger head.
The dress code for the evening was Tailored for You, which was a nod to the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style exhibition’s focus on suiting and menswear. Shah Rukh Khan’s ensemble designed by couturier Sabyasachi Mukherjee was a celebration of the undeniable impact of creativity in fashion and culture.
Sabyasachi has always believed that the future of artisanal crafts and handwoven textiles is in luxury, and that is India’s biggest strength and contribution to both fashion and jewellery. Styled by Shaleena Nathani, Shah Rukh’s MET Gala look was accentuated with Sabyasachi High Jewellery pieces featuring multiple statement chains. The highlight of the jewellery pieces was the SRK encrusted pendant and the massive K pendant embellished with diamonds that showed everyone who the real King is. Shah Rukh’s all black ensemble featured a long blazer.
Shah Rukh blew kisses to the fans on the blue carpet and showed everyone who the true Kind of Cinema is! While we expected some desi dandyism in SRK’s style, we love that he never fails to leave an impressionable impact wherever he goes. MET Gala was iconic and he is the first Indian male actor to grace fashion’s biggest night.
With the focus on suiting and menswear, the red carpet saw silhouettes and accessories styled and interpreted by various celebrities including Zendaya, Teyana Taylor, Lewis Hamilton, Emma Chamberlain, Gigi Hadid, Joe King, Sydney Sweeney, Pharrell Williams, Gina Alice, Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Mona Patel, Zoe Saldana, Miley Cyrus, Diana Ross, among others.
This year’s MET Gala was co-chaired by Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour.
