Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan is all set to make his debut on the Met Gala red carpet making it the first time for an Indian male actor to grace the prestigious event. The world-renowned event will be organised at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York — in collaboration with India’s most celebrated fashion designer, Sabyasachi.
The news was confirmed by Diet Sabya, an anonymous social media fashion account, in a post that read, “National headlines. Threads in meltdown. Entertainment sites foaming at the mouth. Twitter frenzy et al. Time to shut it down lol. We at DietSabya can confirm: Yes, that is indeed SRK—India’s undisputed generational superstar— making his Met Gala debut in May 2025, wearing Sabyasachi (India’s biggest luxury brand). But wait, was there ever a doubt? Are we excited? Or…? Catch you on the carpet.”
The glamorous night of fashion this year will take place on May 5. The theme for the year is ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. It is inspired by Monica L Miller’s book ‘Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.’ The theme will chronicle how fashion contributed to the formation of Black identities. Additionally, the dress code is ‘Tailored for You.’
Furthermore, reportedly, the co-chairs of the Met Gala 2025 are Pharrell Williams, actor Colman Domingo, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, musician A$AP Rocky and Anna Wintour. Additionally, Basketball star Lebron James is going to be the honorary co-chair.
Bollywood Actress Kiara Advani and actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh are also expected to join the high-glam international affair.
