Shah Rukh Khan remains the undisputed ‘King of Bollywood’, a title he proudly flaunted with his ‘K’ necklace on the blue carpet of the Met Gala 2025. The actor, whose debut appearance had been highly anticipated by fans and fashion critics alike, left everyone impressed not just with his style but also with his humility.

SRK looked dashing in designer Sabyasachi’s all-black ensemble. His long wool coat and high-waisted trousers were paired with a luxe silk shirt and a satin kamarbandh, giving him a look that was both charming and vintage. Staying true to the theme, he carried the Bengal Tiger head cane, an accessory that stood out.

Designer Sabyasachi detailed the look on Instagram: “Shah Rukh Khan wears a floor-length elongated coat in Tasmanian superfine wool with monogrammed Japanese horn buttons. The coat is hand-canvassed, single-breasted, with a peak collar and wide lapels. Paired with a crêpe de Chine silk shirt and tailored superfine wool trousers. A pleated satin kamarbandh completes this bespoke look. Layered with a custom stack and complemented with the Bengal Tiger Head Cane crafted in 18k gold with tourmalines, sapphires, old mine cut, and brilliant cut diamonds.”

Shah Rukh’s layered jewellery also stole the spotlight. The entire stack cascading down his chest added to his starry appearance, along with his classic black sunglasses. A Patek Philippe watch completed his look. He posed on the blue carpet looking every bit the superstar he is.

Praising his stature, Sabyasachi shared, “Shah Rukh Khan is one of the greatest superstars in the world. A cinematic hero, his blockbuster performances and leading-man charisma have created a legendary international fan following. My interpretation of the Black Dandy is a demonstration of his superstardom on a global stage. Dressed in classic menswear with the maximalist flourish of Sabyasachi, Shah Rukh Khan is a magician, superstar, and icon. Period.”

And indeed, the actor’s Met Gala debut was as iconic and timeless as he is. He executed Sabyasachi’s vision to a T, with grace, charm, and quiet confidence.
