In a final flourish of drama, he carried a walking stick topped with a sculpted tiger’s head a bold nod to authority and strength, seamlessly aligning with the gala’s spotlight on heritage and Black Dandyism.

Karan Johar’s Praise Lights Up Social Media

Filmmaker and close friend Karan Johar could hardly contain his excitement. He shared a video of Shah Rukh stepping out, captioning it: “All hail the king of the MET!!! The internet just broke into a gazillion hearts!!! Bhai, you rule.”

Johar later reposted a striking image originally shared by Shah Rukh’s manager, Pooja Dadlani, adding the caption ‘The King’ with the song ‘Here Comes The Hotstepper’ playing in the background — a fitting tribute to Khan’s iconic presence.

Signature Charm On Full Display

True to form, Shah Rukh didn’t just walk the carpet, he owned it. Reports confirm he smiled, posed, waved, and even delighted fans with his trademark outstretched-arms pose, bringing a touch of Bollywood flair to one of the fashion world’s most revered stages.

A Theme That Honours History And Identity

This year’s MET Gala theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, draws from Monica L Miller’s influential book ‘Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity’.

Notably, 2025’s edition marked a significant shift in focus, putting menswear and the cultural history of Black style firmly.

India’s Fashion Talent Shines Internationally

Khan’s collaboration with Sabyasachi adds to the growing global recognition of Indian couture.

The designer has consistently redefined luxury fashion on international stages and now continues to celebrate cultural storytelling through opulent craftsmanship.

The MET Gala: Fashion’s Ultimate Cultural Moment

Held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, the MET Gala remains the pinnacle of haute couture.

It offers attendees a platform to interpret complex cultural themes through fashion, creating unforgettable, headline-making statements.
