Shah Rukh Khan to make hory with Met Gala 2025 debut as first Indian actor to walk the red carpet | Bollywood News
As excitement builds for the coveted Met Gala on May 5, it has been confirmed that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will make hory with his first-ever appearance at the Met Gala, organised at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York — in collaboration with none other than Saasachi, India’s most celebrated fashion designer.
The rumours of King Khan appearing at the Met Gala started after fashion watchdog, Diet Saa, hinted at the superstar attending the annual event early in April. However, on Sunday, the Instagram account ‘confirmed’ that Shah Rukh will walk the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art at Met Gala 2025. The superstar will also make hory becoming the first-ever Indian actor to attend the Met Gala. Kiara Advani, who is expecting her first child with husband and actor Sidharth Malhotra, will also attend the event. They will be joined actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh at the event
Confirming Shah Rukh’s appearance at the Met Gala, Diet Saa’s post read, “National headlines. Threads in meltdown. Entertainment sites foaming at the mouth. Twitter frenzy et al. Time to shut it down lol. We at DietSaa can confirm: yes, that is indeed SRK — India’s undisputed generational superstar — making his Met Gala debut in May 2025, wearing Saasachi (India’s biggest luxury brand). But wait, was there ever a doubt? Are we excited? Or…? Catch you on the carpet.” Earlier, actors like Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra had attended the Met Gala.
The rumours of SRK attending the Met Gala were started the same anonymous Instagram account. Earlier, in April, they hinted at SRK attending the Met Gala as their post read, “STOP THE PRESSES!!! The impossible just happened! Two titans of their craft — the greatest Bollywood superstar and the biggest designer of our generation — are joining forces for their Met Gala 2025 debut. And let’s be real, this is HUGE. Monumental, ba! We’re talking HORY in the making! This Bollywood icon is about to become the first Indian man to strut his ‘dandy’ on the Met carpet. Let the guessing games begin!”
This year, the theme of the Met Gala is ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ inspired Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion. The dress code for the evening is ‘Tailored for You,’ and it will showcase how the guests interpret the evolution of Black menswear.
