This year’s Met Gala will be held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Every year on the first Monday in May, the biggest event in the fashion business takes place. However, this year’s Met Gala is special for Indian fashion since many Bollywood celebrities, like Shah Rukh Khan and Diljit Dosanjh, are attending for the first time.
At the Met Gala 2025, Diljit Dosanjh made his first magnificent debut and proudly presented his Punjabi culture to the world. As part of the ‘Maharaja look’ created by famous designer Prabal Gurung, the singer-actor was seen sporting an off-white Achkan, pajamas, and turban that featured a map of Punjab, unique symbols, and lines written in Gurmukhi.
In line with the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style concept, Shah Rukh Khan made his first significant appearance at the Met Gala 2025 wearing a black Sabyasachi suit embellished with golden jewelry. The celebrity accessorized his look with two necklaces that had the letters “SRK” and “K,” four rings, a stick with golden highlights, and a stunning watch. His black spectacles, which designer Sabyasachi created, gave his look even more flare.
Dosanjh Diljit vs. Rukh Khan Fashion fans chose Diljit Dosanjh and Shah Rukh Khan as their favorite MET Gala debuts this year at the 2025 event. They were impressed by Diljit Dosanjh’s ability to attract attention, not just because of his impeccable style but also because of what it stood for: a successful and genuine blending of cultures that few Indian artists have managed to achieve.
In the comment section, one person dissected the singer’s outfit, writing, “Diljit Dosanjh at the #MetGala2025—regal, powerful, and deeply intentional.” Looking more closely reveals that this is a combination of cultural narrative and a subliminal homage to Black dandyism, even if it may first seem off-the-memory.
Many others tweeted, “Bro ate it!!!” in response to the Punjabi singer’s appearance at MET. HE APPEARS TO BE A ROYAL PERSON! Shah Rukh Khan applauded his all-black, strong appearance and hailed his debut.
While several fans expressed their admiration for SRK’s all-black attire, they also pointed out that it isn’t as amazing as the singer’s. “I think Diljit’s fit was the result of a lot of labor by him and his designer. It will undoubtedly be discussed. Certainly more than Shah Rukh Khan’s basic all-black ensemble. Go through the remark.
By presenting India to the world in his own swag-filled way, Diljit Dosanjh has managed to maintain authenticity in an era when representation is more crucial than ever. On the contrary, Shah Rukh Khan gave his power look more oomph.
