Karan Johar to Shah Rukh Khan: All hail the king of the MET

Mumbai, May 6 (IANS) Global icon Shah Rukh Khan made a dazzling debut at the Met Gala 2025, setting the red carpet ablaze with his signature charm and style. His longtime friend Karan Johar couldn't hold back, declaring, "the internet didn't just broke into a gazillion hearts" the moment he stepped out.

Wearing a sharp ensemble by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Shah Rukh looked dapper in a floor-sweeping black trench coat layered over an unbuttoned shirt. He completed chunky jewellery including eye-popping diamond-studded pendants emblazoned with "K".

To add to the drama, he carried a walking stick with a tiger-top, which was completely in sync with this year's theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style".

Karan took to his Instagram, where he shared a video of Shah Rukh walking out in style. The filmmaker captioned it: "All hail the king of the MET!!! The internet just broke into a gazillion hearts!!! Bhai you rule."

He then shared a picture of Shah Rukh originally posted by the star's manager Pooja Dadlani and wrote: "The King" along with the song "Here Comes The Hotstepper" playing in the background.

As per reports, Shah Rukh posed, smiled, waved and even treated fans with his signature pose.

The 2025 theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," is inspired by Monica L Miller's book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, published in 2009. The fashion gala for the first time has put the spotlight on menswear.

The Met Gala is the annual haute couture fundraising festival held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in Manhattan. The Met Gala is popularly regarded as the world's most prestigious and glamorous fashion event.

Attendees are given the opportunity to express themselves through fashion, often producing elaborate and highly publicized outfits inspired by the evening's theme and broader cultural context.

SRK proving once again why he's the true Badshah of Bollywood! That tiger-head cane was pure swag 🇮🇳✨ So proud to see our stars shining on global platforms. Karan's caption was perfect - the internet DID break!

While I love SRK, I wish he had incorporated more Indian elements in his outfit. Met Gala is about representing your roots while embracing global fashion. Sabyasachi could've added some desi bling beyond just the jewelry.

That K pendant though! 🔥 SRK knows how to make an entrance. After 30+ years in the industry, he still gives us goosebumps. Met Gala organizers better be ready for the SRK fan tsunami coming their way next year!

First Priyanka, now SRK - our Bollywood stars are conquering the Met! But honestly, who carries off a trench coat better than King Khan? That man could wear a potato sack and still look regal. Karan's excitement is all of us right now 😂

Love how SRK stayed true to his signature style while embracing the theme. That confident walk, the charming smile - pure SRK magic! Though I must say, I miss seeing him in those classic romantic hero looks from the 90s. Nostalgia hitting hard!

SRK at Met Gala is what we needed after the pandemic years! The man's global appeal is unmatched. From Delhi streets to Manhattan red carpets - that's the Indian dream right there. Though I hope next time we see him in something more experimental!
