Shah Rukh Khan makes Met Gala debut in Sabyasachi outfit: 'For my kids'

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, along with Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh and actor Kiara Advani, made their debut at the Met Gala 2025, held on Monday at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The event, co-chaired by Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Anna Wintour, with honorary chair LeBron James, celebrated the exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, the first in over 20 years to focus exclusively on menswear and centering Black identity and designers.

Shah Rukh Khan revealed he attended the gala mainly for his children-Suhana, Aryan, and AbRam. “I’m very nervous and excited... I was wondering if I could just run away,” he confessed, adding that it was his kids’ enthusiasm and designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s encouragement that convinced him to participate.

SRK in custom Sabyasachi look

Shah Rukh Khan wore a special black outfit designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee that perfectly reflected his classic style. Instead of choosing something flashy, he went for a timeless look that showed off his personality. Keeping with the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', SRK wore a long coat made from fine Tasmanian wool, featuring wide lapels, a peak collar, and Japanese horn buttons. Underneath, he wore a black silk shirt and well-fitted trousers, paired with a pleated satin waistband.
