Indians have special reason to cheer this year’s ‘The Met Gala 2025’, set to take place on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly set to make his highly anticipated Met Gala debut this year, dressed by Indian designer Sabyasachi.
If confirmed, it would mark a historic moment as Shah Rukh becomes the first Indian male actor to walk the prestigious Met Gala red carpet. Fashion watchdog Diet Sabya shared the news on Instagram, sending Indian fans into a frenzy ahead of fashion’s biggest night.
Adding to the Indian presence, actor Kiara Advani, who is currently expecting her first child, is also rumoured to attend the gala. Diljit Dosanjh, Priyanka Chopra and Isha Ambani are also among those rumoured to walk the famous Met steps. Dubbed the “Fashion Oscars”, this year’s spectacle celebrates the Costume Institute’s upcoming exhibit, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book ‘Slaves to Fashion’. This year’s theme highlights Black dandyism and diasporic fashion identity.
