He walked like royalty, held a Bengal tiger sceptre, and wore baroque Sabyasachi couture like no one else could. Shah Rukh Khan, the King of Bollywood, made a jaw-dropping debut at the 2025 Met Gala — and in doing so, rewrote the rulebook for Indian men on global fashion red carpets.
For years, the Met Gala has seen the finest Indian representation — from Priyanka Chopra to Natasha Poonawalla — with women carrying the baton of Indian couture. But this year, Shah Rukh Khan finally claimed his rightful place, proving that age is merely a number, and timing, when perfect, is historic.
🎩 SRK x Sabyasachi: A Regal Union
In a stunning collaboration with Sabyasachi Mukherjee, SRK wore a well-cut black suit fused with Indian craftsmanship — rich embroidery, baroque flourishes, and an unmistakable nod to Bengal’s regal history. The ensemble was further elevated with a custom-made sceptre featuring a Bengal tiger—a bold symbol of power, heritage, and pride.
His look, rooted in Indian sensibility but presented through the lens of global elegance, stood out amid the extravagant chaos of the Met.
“Only Shah Rukh Khan could wear Sabyasachi’s maximalist design without letting it overpower him.”
🇮🇳 Brand India, Rewritten by Its Men
Joining SRK was singer and cultural icon Diljit Dosanjh, dressed in Patiala-inspired attire, complete with a turban and Gurmukhi calligraphy on his cape. The two men together projected a confident and unapologetic image of modern Indian masculinity — deeply rooted in tradition but powerfully global in their statement.
Both stars made their entrance on a sisal carpet from Kerala, reminding the world that even the smallest design details could carry the weight of heritage.
✨ A New Chapter for Indian Men in Fashion
For a decade, Indian women have led the charge at international red carpets. SRK’s debut marks a turning point, potentially inspiring more Indian male actors, musicians, and artists to embrace fashion diplomacy. And at 59, SRK proved that style has no expiry date.
