Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made his highly-anticipated Met Gala 2025 debut on May 5 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Dressed in a sharp black suit adorned with statement jewellery by Sabyasachi, Shah Rukh Khan left his fans mighty impressed. Meanwhile, in his latest interview with TIME, he opened up about his debut at the fashion event, and highlighted the importance of making India’s presence felt at global events. He also praised this year’s Met Gala theme, and said that he likes that it stands for.
While speaking with TIME about his Met Gala 2025 debut, Shah Rukh Khan said, “It’s important to represent my countrymen and people. India is taking a stand in a lot of things and it’s important to have our presence felt.” He further lauded Met Gala’s theme this year: ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” He explained, “I liked what it stood for—the concept of revolution and resolution, not through anger or fighting, but by being exuberant and artistic. Dressing up in a way that made a statement.”
What Shah Rukh Khan Wore For Met Gala 2025
Shah Rukh Khan wore a special all-black outfit designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Keeping up with the theme of the event, he donned a long coat made from fine Tasmanian wool. Underneath, he wore a black crepe de chine silk shirt, and tailored superfine wool trousers. A pleated satin kamarbandh completed his bespoke look. Several necklaces adorned his chest, including a massive diamond-studded letter ‘K’- standing for King Khan.”
Meanwhile, amid the fan craze and the glamour, one moment at Met Gala 2025 has stirred controversy. In a now-viral video from the red carpet — shared widely on X (formerly Twitter) — the Badshah of Bollywood can be seen introducing himself to a red carpet host, who appeared unaware of who he was. “I’m Shah Rukh,” he says, before proceeding to speak about the significance of the Met Gala. The moment has not gone down well with his fans, who are calling out the global media for not recognizing one of the world’s biggest movie stars.
