Shah Rukh Khan will make a historical debut at the Met Gala 2025, donning a Sabyasachi ensemble
King Khan’s grand Met Gala debut is official! After months of speculation, it has been confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan will make a historical debut at this year’s Met Gala. The Bollywood superstar will don a Sabyasachi ensemble at the event, set to be held at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5.
Diet Sabya, a popular anonymous fashion account on Instagram, confirmed the news on Sunday, April 27. “National headlines. Threads in meltdown. Entertainment sites foaming at the mouth. Twitter frenzy et al. Time to shut it down lol. We at DietSaby can confirm: yes, that is indeed SRK - India’s undisputed generational superstar - making his Met Gala debut in May 2025, wearing Sabyasachi (India’s biggest luxury brand). But wait, was there ever a doubt? Are we excited? Or ...? Catch you on the carpet,” read Diet Sabya’s post.
Speculations about SRK’s debut at the Met Gala arose in April when the same Instagram account hinted at a massive collaboration between “the greatest Bollywood superstar and the biggest designer of our generation.” Fans began to speculate that the post was referring to Shah Rukh and Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the popular fashion designer behind the Indian luxury label Sabyasachi.
Since the news about the superstar’s Met Gala debut broke out, fans are eagerly awaiting to see what Shah Rukh wears to the popular fashion event. Interestingly, the theme of this year’s Met Gala is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The dress code, on the other hand, is “Tailored To You,” which, according to Diet Sabya, means “bringing in their own cultural flair and lived-in experience to the narrative.”
With this, Shah Rukh becomes the first-ever Indian male actor to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala. Earlier, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt have attended the prestigious fashion event. Interestingly, last year, Sabyasachi Mukherjee became the first Indian fashion designer to walk the Met Gala carpet.
