The Met Gala 2025 made waves across the global fashion scene with its theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, which honored the rich legacy and cultural impact of Black fashion—from its roots in the 18th century to its modern interpretations. This year’s red carpet at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art saw a dazzling display of fashion-forward statements, and Indian celebrities stood tall among the world’s style icons. Here's a deep dive into how Indian stars redefined elegance at the Met Gala 2025.

Shah Rukh Khan Makes Historic Met Gala Debut


Shah Rukh Khan, fondly known as King Khan, carved a unique milestone by becoming the first Indian male actor to attend the Met Gala. He exuded regal charm in a custom all-black suit by Sabyasachi. The ensemble was elevated with intricate gold embellishments and a standout accessory—a tiger sceptre—that radiated royalty-inspired fashion.

However, it was his bold statement necklace, featuring the letter “K”, that captured the spotlight. This cleverly referenced his iconic title and persona. SRK’s look was completed with cascading layered gold chains, offering a powerful blend of modern Indian royalty and high-end western tailoring.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas Stuns in Polka Dot Perfection


Veteran Met Gala attendee Priyanka Chopra Jonas returned to the carpet for the fifth time, walking hand in hand with her husband, singer Nick Jonas. Her look was a show-stopping nod to the evening’s theme, dressed in a custom-tailored polka dot suit dress designed by Olivier Rousteing of Balmain.

The outfit effortlessly merged gender-fluid fashion with classic dandy elements, standing out for its bold pattern, structured tailoring, and Priyanka’s ever-commanding presence. Her polished style and confident stance solidified her as one of the night’s most unforgettable appearances.

Kiara Advani Radiates Grace in Gaurav Gupta Couture


Actress Kiara Advani graced the Met Gala blue carpet in a breathtaking creation by acclaimed designer Gaurav Gupta. The ensemble fused ethereal charm with bold motherhood symbolism, creating a look that was both empowering and elegant.

Her flowing cape—double-panelled and dramatic—was a heartfelt homage to Andre Leon Talley, the late fashion editor and a powerful voice in Black fashion history. The silhouette, rich in textures and fluidity, embraced both avant-garde Indian couture and the Gala’s Afrocentric theme, making Kiara a vision of strength and serenity.

Isha Ambani Blends Tradition with Trend in Anamika Khanna


Businesswoman and fashion connoisseur Isha Ambani brought a fresh aesthetic to the Met Gala carpet with a distinctive look by Anamika Khanna. She wore a sharply tailored white geometric corset paired with classic black trousers and a structured cape, which reflected the essence of modern Indian elegance.

The outfit included semi-precious stones and delicate pearl work, bridging heritage craftsmanship with contemporary styling. Inspired by Black dandy fashion, Anamika’s design resonated with the theme while spotlighting Indian artisanship. Isha’s dewy makeup and sleek braid added finesse to the already striking look.

Diljit Dosanjh Showcases Punjabi Culture on Global Stage


Global music sensation Diljit Dosanjh turned heads with a majestic tribute to Punjabi royalty and Sikh heritage. Wearing a bespoke outfit by Prabal Gurung, Diljit combined traditional elements like the turban, kurta, and tehmat with a fashion-forward cape and ornate accessories.

His ensemble was rich with symbolism—from a gleaming sword to a cape inscribed with Punjabi alphabets—all representing his deep-rooted cultural pride. Reports suggest that Diljit’s jewellery was curated from the legendary Cartier collection of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, further solidifying his look as one of the most culturally rich of the evening.

Indian Fashion at the Met Gala: A Cultural Renaissance


The presence of Indian celebrities at the Met Gala 2025 marked more than just style—it signified a cultural celebration on a global stage. From traditional motifs and historical references to contemporary tailoring and bold statements, each appearance showcased the evolution and global influence of Indian fashion.

With designers like Sabyasachi, Gaurav Gupta, Anamika Khanna, and Prabal Gurung pushing creative boundaries, and celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Diljit Dosanjh proudly embracing their roots, India’s fashion footprint is now an undeniable force on the world’s biggest red carpet.

Conclusion: A Defining Moment in Global Fashion


Met Gala 2025 was not only about celebrating Black style but also about intercultural dialogues through fashion. Indian celebrities didn’t just attend—they made history, turned heads, and brought global recognition to South Asian creativity. Their appearances highlighted the power of fashion as a universal language, one that honors heritage while embracing modernity.

As the lines between East and West in haute couture continue to blur, one thing is certain—India is no longer just participating in global fashion, it’s shaping it.
