Despite not making it to the best-dressed celeb list at his Met Gala debut, Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan has showcased his global dominance by topping the newly released power ranking chart by Hollywood Reporter. This shows him beating A-listers of the gala night, including panel member and F1 racing star Lewis Hamilton, event regulars like Rihanna, Zendaya, and even Indian Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh, who had previously secured a place in the best-dressed celebrity list. On the other hand, K-pop star BLACKPINK’s Lisa, who was criticised for possibly wearing historic figure Rosa Parks on her custom Louis Vuitton bottom wear, surprisingly topped the power ranking in the female category, leaving her fellow band members Jennie and Rosé far behind. The event was themed “Tailored for You,” with the dress code paying tribute to Black tailoring style, which is highlighted in the Costume Institute’s exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The Met Gala, the annual haute couture fundraising event, is not just about the occasion itself but also about the buzz created by stars and brands on social media, which oversees the engagement generated. According to data from Launchmetrics, the event earned $1.3 billion in media impact value (MIV), and based on that, Pathaan star Shah Rukh Khan, who walked the red carpet in an all-black custom Sabyasachi Mukherjee outfit for the night, topped the list. The Bollywood star had already made history by being the first actor from the industry to walk the Anna Wintour-hosted gala. For the night, he was decked out in jewellery, including a giant K necklace referencing his king status, and carried a unique 18-karat gold walking stick with a Bengal tiger design. His Instagram post garnered over 5.3 million likes, contributing to his massive $19 million in MIV. In second place is Lewis Hamilton, who wore an all-white Wales Bonner outfit, earning $9.4M in MIV, far below SRK’s. The third position went to singer Diljit Dosanjh with $7.3M in MIV, as he walked in Nepalese-American designer Prabal Gurung. Colman Domingo and Bad Bunny grabbed the fourth and fifth spots.
In the female category, K-pop superstar Lisa, who recently made her acting debut with HBO’s White Lotus season 3, topped the list in her custom Louis Vuitton. Though Lisa, a Thai singer, caused quite a stir due to the controversy that overshadowed her gala debut, her dominance didn’t go unnoticed. Her Instagram post about the outfit earned over 3.3 million likes, generating $21.3 million in MIV. The top five women also included Sarocha Chankimha in Valentino with $19.5 million in MIV, and Jennie from Blackpink, who posted multiple photos of her look, drawing almost 10 million likes, ending up with $17.6 million in MIV. Zendaya and Rihanna took the fourth and fifth spots with $14 million and $13 million in MIV, respectively. In the jewellery world, Cartier and Tiffany & Co. were the big winners, dressing over 30 stars each. When it comes to accessories, Christian Louboutin claimed the top spot with his shoes, earning $1.6 million in MIV.
Among the top 10 fashion brands for the night was Louis Vuitton, with the highest impact, earning $55.2 million in MIV. Valentino, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and Thom Browne followed the French luxury house. Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee also grabbed a spot at 6 with $20.2 million, followed by Miu Miu, Prada, Burberry, and Saint Laurent rounding off the top 10.
