Karan Johar praises Indian celebrities' iconic Met Gala 2025 looks, skips Priyanka Chopra

Several Bollywood celebrities turned heads at the Met Gala 2025 red carpet on May 1. Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Kiara Advani, Diljit Dosanjh, among others, made a stylish appearance at the fashion’s biggest night of the year held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

However, filmmaker Karan Johar has recently showered praise on the Indian celebrities for their iconic fashion game. However, he notably skipped mentioning Priyanka, who attended the event with her husband, Nick Jonas.

Karan took to his Instagram Stories to analyse the looks of the celebs and shared his reviews. He started his series of Instagram Stories by sharing fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s couture that he designed for singer-songwriter and actress Coco Jones.

Sharing the photo of Jones, Karan wrote, “The BFF @manishmalhotra05 dazzles like a shining star with his luminous creation for @conojones at the Met.” He continued, “Watch this space his majestic creation is arriving again with…”

Karan shared Manish Malhotra’s dazzling look in the next slide. The fashion designer sported a black overcoat shrug with ornate gold detailing for his Met Gala red carpet debut look.

Karan clearly was in awe with his outfit and wrote, “The debut of all debuts. @manishmalhotraworld @manishmalhotra05 at the MET!!! Drama and design power."

The filmmaker then shared a video of Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala iconic look and wrote, “ALLL HAIL the KING of the MET. The internet just broke into a gazillion hearts!!!!! @iamsrk… bhai you RULE!”

Shah Rukh sported a custom Sabyasachi outfit for the event. He completed his look with a tiger sceptre and a huge diamond 'K' pendant. The actor notably became the first Indian male actor to walk the Met Gala red carpet.

Karan continued showering praise on Indian celebrities and shared a behind-the-scenes video of mom-to-be Kiara Advani. The actress flaunted a pregnancy glow in a sculpted black gown by Gaurav Gupta at the 2025 Met Gala. She completed her look with a bold golden breastplate, with her customised gown featuring umbilical cord-inspired detailing on the golden plate.

Karan Johar was amazed with Kiara’s look and wrote, “Look at this beauty!!!!! So stunning KI!!!!! Mommy glow and fashion to bestow!! @anaitashroffadajania yet again owning it with GG!!! Love you @kiaraaliaadvani So gorg.”

The filmmaker also heaped praise on the most-talked-about look of the night. He called ‘fashion royalty’ to Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, who made a historic Met Gala debut in a Prabal Gurung couture.
