Shah Rukh Khan Creates History at the 2025 MET Gala
Shah Rukh Khan made history at the 2025 MET Gala when he became the first Indian male actor to walk the MET Gala red carpet in a moment that will be entrenched in the global pop culture zeitgeist. The MET Gala was themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and had a dress code of “Tailored for You”, where SRK stunned in a custom outfit from the famed designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
Khan promoted the “floor-length elongated coat in Tasmanian superfine wool” with monogrammed buttons made from Japanese horn, but it was his handcrafted Bengal Tiger Head Cane—which was made with 18k gold, tourmalines, sapphires and antique diamonds—that added flair and demonstrated the marriage of Indian craftsmanship with global style.
As SRK walked the red carpet, there was a viral moment where a foreign journalist asked him to introduce himself, and a look of joy crossed his face when he declared, “Hi, I’m Shah Rukh”—which was met by loud cheers from adoring fans nearby. SRK’s international fanbase and modesty are another phenomenon seldom shared amongst Hollywood celebrities.
