The Met Gala 2025 witnessed a confluence of Indian and international stars, with several moments making headlines. Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) finally made his Met Gala debut, while Diljit Dosanjh's appearance and interaction with Shakira also garnered significant attention.
Shah Rukh Khan's debut at the Met Gala 2025 was highly anticipated. The Bollywood superstar sported an all-black ensemble designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, aligning with the event's theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”. The outfit featured a custom black suit, layered necklaces, and a statement cane topped with a tiger head. Khan admitted to being nervous about his debut, stating that Sabyasachi convinced him to attend. He also humorously confessed that he attended the event to impress his kids. Despite his global recognition, an awkward moment occurred when some international media members didn't recognize him. However, he handled the situation with grace and charm. Some fans were upset by the foreign media's lack of recognition for SRK and Sabyasachi. Khan himself stated that he felt it was important to represent his country and that he admired the theme of the Met Gala.
Diljit Dosanjh also made his debut at the Met Gala 2025, making history as the first turbaned actor-singer to walk the red carpet. He wore a custom Prabal Gurung outfit, featuring an ivory and gold sherwani paired with a traditional tehmat, topped with a dramatic cape featuring intricate embroidery of Punjab's silhouetted map. He also sported a jewel-studded turban and a kirpan. A notable moment was when Shakira shared a video on her Instagram Stories featuring Diljit. In the video, Shakira gave a shoutout to India, saying, "Say hi to India. Hi India," to which Diljit responded with a "namaste". The interaction between Shakira and Diljit generated excitement among fans, with many expressing their desire for a collaboration between the two artists. Diljit was also seen using ChatGPT to learn English and was spotted with Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas.
