The Met Gala 2025 was a global celebration of craftsmanship and culture—but for Indian fashion and cinema, it was a moment of arrival and assertion. With the theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and a spotlight on “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” this year’s gala became the perfect stage for Indian stars to showcase their elegance, creativity, and cultural pride.
Leading the charge? Shah Rukh Khan, who made his much-anticipated debut, alongside striking appearances by Diljit Dosanjh, Kiara Advani, Priyanka Chopra, and Isha Ambani.
Here’s how these stars brought India to the Met with unmatched style:
Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan finally graced the Met Gala red carpet—and he did it in absolute style. Wearing a custom Sabyasachi ensemble, he blended Indian tailoring with Western structure. His outfit featured a minimalist black sherwani-inspired jacket, paired with sharp trousers and a long, structured overcoat.
Accessories made a powerful statement: a handcrafted Bengal tiger cane, layered diamond necklaces (including a “K” pendant), and a $2.5 million Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime watch. His calm response to a red carpet interviewer—”I am Shah Rukh“—became an instant highlight across global media.
Diljit Dosanjh
Diljit Dosanjh brought his signature swag to the Met, becoming the first turbaned Sikh artist to walk the gala red carpet. He wore a tailored black suit with cultural elements, layered with a long overcoat and styled with gloves, sunglasses, and his signature turban. His look was sleek yet deeply rooted in identity, aligning beautifully with the night’s theme.
Diljit’s confident presence marked a proud moment of representation for the Punjabi and Sikh community on a global fashion platform.
Kiara Advani
Making her Met Gala debut, Kiara Advani stunned in a custom Prabal Gurung gown. The outfit featured a sculpted, corseted silhouette with modern tailoring, and a flowing ivory cape that added a dramatic finish. Minimalist accessories, slicked-back hair, and soft-glam makeup brought attention to the precision of the tailoring and her natural grace.
Kiara’s appearance marked her as a rising global style icon.
Priyanka Chopra
Met Gala veteran Priyanka Chopra Jonas once again made headlines with her striking look. Dressed in a custom Valentino black blazer-gown, she merged masculine structure with dramatic flair. With bold shoulders, a high slit, and a sharp silhouette, the outfit perfectly embodied the gala’s tailoring theme.
She paired it with a sleek bun, diamond drop earrings, and dark lipstick—adding intensity to her already powerful presence.
Isha Ambani
Businesswoman and fashion icon Isha Ambani arrived in a regal hand-embroidered black saree-gown by Sabyasachi. The look fused traditional Indian craftsmanship with structured contemporary design. Gold embroidery, a sculpted blouse, and a velvet train brought both tradition and modern tailoring into perfect balance.
Her look honored India’s textile legacy while seamlessly aligning with the night’s formal and artistic direction.
From Shah Rukh Khan’s long-awaited debut to Diljit’s culturally rooted swag and Kiara’s elegant arrival, the 2025 Met Gala became a powerful showcase of Indian identity, style, and global influence. These stars didn’t just walk the red carpet they redefined it, one tailored stitch at a time.
