Shah Rukh Khan, one of the biggest global stars, made his grand Met Gala debut this year in a stylish Sabyasachi ensemble. No fan moment when Shah Rukh is present—how is it even possible? While the two countries, India and Pakistan, are at loggerheads, it's the artists that are still holding on to the cross-border relationship. At Met 2025, a Pakistani-origin food content creator living in New York stole the spotlight as she got a chance to see Shah Rukh Khan.
The content creator, Sehrish, shared a video titled “Come with me to find Shah Rukh Khan in NYC." Later in the video, she was seen walking near a hotel close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the clip, she greeted Sidharth Malhotra and called him a cutie, and also shared glimpses of Sabyasachi. But it was the arrival of King Khan that got her super excited. She captured SRK waving to his fans and attached the text that read, “Love of my life, light of my life, my entire dil — King Khan." This video by the creator met with a grand response, garnering over 2.7 million views.
About Shah Rukh Khan's MET look
For his debut appearance at the Met Ball, the actor wore 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 crepe de chine silk shirt and tailored superfine wool trousers. A pleated satin kamarbandh completes this bespoke look," Sabyasachi said.
Asked to describe his look on the gala's blue carpet, the actor told reporters it was designer Sabyasachi who conceived it "as an expression of freedom and trying to be resolute and resilient against things that can oppress you."
Was Shah Rukh familiar with the Met Gala and its theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, a homage to Black fashion, before he was set to make his debut?
"Honestly, no. In the last 20 days, I got to understand what it (Met Gala) was, and being an actor, I thought it (the theme of Black Style) was interesting... The resolve to change things without aggression or anger but have exuberance of art in it... I thought it was marvellous," he said.
