New York: Shah Rukh Khan Makes History at Met Gala
In a historic moment, Shah Rukh Khan, affectionately known as King Khan, graced the prestigious Met Gala on Monday, marking his entrance into Hollywood's biggest fashion event.
Before strutting down the Metropolitan Museum of Art's red carpet, Shah Rukh interacted warmly with his adoring fans outside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC. Plenty of snaps circulated online, capturing the actor playfully greeting fans and blowing kisses.
Fashion critic Diet Sabya shared a video of Shah Rukh, prominently dressed in a sleek, all-black ensemble by Sabyasachi. Accessorizing with a modern Maharaja-inspired tiger sceptre, he embodied refined elegance while maintaining his unique flair.
However, it was his "K" necklace that sparked a frenzy. Emblazoned with his iconic moniker, the necklace was a testament to Shah Rukh's reputation as Bollywood's undisputed king. He added multiple layered gold chains to complete his regal look.
Joining Shah Rukh was his trusted manager, Pooja Dadlani. As images of the King Khan emerged online, an outpouring of affection resonated across social media platforms.
"Unbelievably cool," exclaimed one user.
"Effortlessly dapper," added another.
Just a day prior, fashion icon Sabyasachi excitedly announced his long-anticipated collaboration with Shah Rukh. On Instagram, the designer shared "KING KHAN" and" KING KHAN BENGAL TIGER," teasing followers with hints of the grand occasion.
For those unfamiliar, the Bengal tiger, symbolizing strength and royalty, is an integral part of Sabyasachi's brand identity. The tiger sceptre, adorned with tourmalines, sapphires, and diamonds, served as a stunning extension of this symbolism, exuding regal authority and design artistry.
Sabyasachi's fashion choices for Shah Rukh seamlessly blended tailored refinement (with Tasmanian wool and Japanese horn buttons) and culturally resonant motifs, underscoring Shah Rukh as a beacon linking Bollywood glamour with haute couture.
Other notable Indian attendees at this year's Met Gala were Kiara Advani, Priyanka Chopra, and Isha Ambani. Shah Rukh's enchanting Met Gala 2025 look perfectly embodied the theme, "Tailoring Black Style." And of course, Sabyasachi himself walked this year's Met Gala, continuing his journey in the world of high fashion.
