SRK proves yet again why he's the Badshah of Bollywood! 🔥 That black trench coat look was pure class. Met Gala might not be his usual space, but he owned it like only King Khan can. #SRKTheKing

Love how humble SRK is! "Not my space" but still made India proud on global stage. Sabyasachi-SRK combo is always magical. That 'K' pendant was such a power move 😍

While I appreciate SRK's style, I wish he had incorporated more Indian elements in his outfit. Met Gala is the perfect platform to showcase our rich cultural heritage. Missed opportunity IMHO.

SRK's walking stick with tiger head was everything! Subtle nod to his 'Sher Khan' persona from DDLJ days. Man knows how to make an entrance - whether in Bollywood or Met Gala!

Karan Johar's "All hail the king" post sums it up perfectly! SRK has that X-factor that makes him shine anywhere in the world. Can't wait to see what he does next on global fashion stage 👑
