Shah Rukh Khan Makes Historic Met Gala 2025 Debut in Sabyasachi Couture
New York, May 6, 2025 — Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan made history last night with his grand debut at the Met Gala 2025, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Dressed in an exquisite custom outfit by acclaimed Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Khan’s appearance was hailed as one of the most significant fashion moments of the evening.
Khan, 59, known globally for his cinematic legacy and charismatic presence, embraced this year’s theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with a look that combined traditional Indian artistry and modern elegance. His outfit also honored the sub-theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which focused on refined craftsmanship and Black sartorial legacy.
The actor wore a floor-length black overcoat made of superfine Tasmanian wool, adorned with Japanese horn buttons. The look was completed with a black silk shirt, tailored trousers, and a satin cummerbund. However, it was his carefully curated accessories that drew global attention including a crystal-studded “K” pendant, a diamond-encrusted star brooch, multiple rings, and an 18k gold cane encrusted with gemstones.
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who designed the outfit, described it as “an homage to Indian dandyism and global sophistication.” In a statement, the designer said, “We aimed to represent the legacy of Indian craftsmanship while interpreting classic tailoring for a modern, international audience.”
Khan’s debut also stood out for its symbolic significance. While Indian women have often graced the Met Gala red carpet, his presence marks a rare and powerful moment for Indian men in global fashion spaces. His appearance was widely praised for bringing South Asian culture and couture into the international spotlight.
This year’s Met Gala featured over 450 attendees from around the world, including celebrities from the worlds of film, fashion, music, and sports. Co-chairs for the event included Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, and Lewis Hamilton.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala debut not only reflected his personal evolution as a global style icon but also elevated Indian fashion on one of the world’s biggest red carpets. His look was widely covered in international media, with fashion critics calling it “regal,” “groundbreaking,” and “a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity.”
With this appearance, Shah Rukh Khan has once again proven why he remains one of the most influential figures in global entertainment both on and off the screen.
