In a landmark moment for both Bollywood and global fashion, it has been officially confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan will attend the Met Gala 2025, making his debut at one of fashion’s most prestigious events. The superstar will be donning a custom creation by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, marking a powerful collaboration between two of India’s most iconic cultural forces.
A First for Indian Male Actors
Shah Rukh Khan, often dubbed the “King of Bollywood,” will become the first Indian male actor to walk the famed steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The confirmation came via an Instagram post from Diet Sabya, an influential yet anonymous Indian fashion commentary account, known for its sharp takes on fashion and celebrity culture. Their post declared, “We at DietSabya™ can confirm: yes, that is indeed SRK… making his Met Gala debut in May 2025, wearing Sabyasachi.”
The news has sent fans and fashion enthusiasts into a frenzy, with online threads and entertainment platforms buzzing in anticipation. Speculation had been swirling for weeks, but this confirmation has ignited a wave of excitement, not only for SRK fans but for global observers of fashion and culture.
A Powerful Collaboration
Earlier this month, Diet Sabya had hinted at a major collaboration in the works, teasing, “STOP THE PRESSES!!! The impossible just happened!” The cryptic announcement alluded to a partnership between “the greatest Bollywood superstar” and “the biggest designer of our generation.” The guessing game has now ended, and the reveal has exceeded expectations.
Sabyasachi, celebrated for his rich Indian aesthetics fused with global appeal, will be designing Shah Rukh’s outfit to align with this year’s Met Gala theme: Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s Slaves to Fashion, the exhibition explores the evolution and impact of Black menswear, tracing its journey from 18th-century Europe to modern-day fashion.
