Shah Rukh Khan made history this week by becoming the first Indian male actor to walk the iconic MET Gala red carpet—and in true King Khan style, he did it with grace, humility, and a touch of gratitude. Following his much-talked-about debut at the annual fashion extravaganza held on Monday, May 5, the superstar took to social media to thank designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for making the experience memorable.

The MET Gala 2025 was held in New York, where fashion meets fantasy in the most opulent way possible. For his debut, Shah Rukh collaborated with Sabyasachi, who described the actor’s look as a celebration of Indian craftsmanship fused with global elegance. The actor wore a floor-length elongated coat in Tasmanian superfine wool, detailed with monogrammed Japanese horn buttons. The single-breasted coat featured a peak collar and wide lapels—sleek, sharp, and regal. It was paired with a crepe de chine silk shirt and tailored superfine wool trousers. A pleated satin kamarbandh added a traditional Indian silhouette, while layered accessories and a dramatic cane stole the spotlight.
But it wasn’t just any cane. Shah Rukh carried the Bengal Tiger Head Cane, meticulously crafted in 18k gold, encrusted with tourmalines, sapphires, and both old mine cut and brilliant cut diamonds. The bespoke element of the accessory blended Indian heritage with the MET Gala’s avant-garde spirit.
Sabyasachi, known for his deep-rooted storytelling through couture, called Shah Rukh’s look “timeless masculinity reinvented.” The designer also expressed pride in dressing the icon for such a momentous occasion, marking it as a cultural milestone for Indian representation on one of fashion’s grandest stages. Shah Rukh Khan’s appearance not only set a new precedent for Indian actors at the MET Gala but also spotlighted homegrown talent in global fashion.
