SRK in New York Times’ 67 Most Stylish People of 2025

Shah Rukh Khan has once again demonstrated that he is not just a film star, but a global cultural icon. The Bollywood legend has made it onto The New York Times’ list of the 67 Most Stylish People of 2025. This honor recognizes individuals who influenced fashion and style throughout the year.

The list features an eclectic mix of global names — from Sabrina Carpenter and Doechii to A$AP Rocky, Jennifer Lawrence, Walton Goggins and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — and seeing SRK among them has thrilled fans around the world.

What earned him this spotlight was his unforgettable debut at the Met Gala earlier this year. This moment sparked a wave of admiration across continents.

Dressed in a carefully designed Sabyasachi Mukherjee outfit, Shah Rukh brought a distinct charm and quiet presence to the red carpet.

As The New York Times put it, “Known by his army of fans simply as SRK, Bollywood’s biggest star and one of the world’s most famous actors brought the Met Gala into his orbit as a first-time guest. (He wore a design by Sabyasachi Mukherjee.”

The accompanying photos captured him in a sleek all-black bespoke look — an outfit that blended refinement with a touch of the dramatic. One detail in particular stood out: a crystal-studded pendant shaped like the letter ‘K’, resting among layered necklaces, a subtle tribute that set social media buzzing. It was classic SRK — elegant, understated, and endlessly confident.

At 60, Shah Rukh continues to surprise, evolve and inspire. His Met Gala appearance wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a moment of pride for millions who have long seen him as a symbol of Indian artistry on the world stage.

He remains a trendsetter not because he chases fashion, but because he wears it with effortless conviction.

And while his style moment is still being celebrated, SRK has already moved on to what he does best — storytelling. He will next appear in King, starring alongside his daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously helmed the blockbuster Pathaan, the film is backed by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
