‘India’s biggest GalaKaar’: Shah Rukh Khan’s dazzling Met Gala debut in Sabyasachi gets Amul’s topical nod

Khan’s look at the Met Gala featured a floor-length, elongated coat in Tasmanian superfine wool with monogrammed, Japanese horn buttons. He completed the look with crystal chains and the 18k gold Bengal Tiger Head Cane, which was set with brilliant cut diamonds, sapphires, tourmalines, and old mine cut diamonds and a tribute to his legendary ‘King’ legacy with a trademark ‘K’ necklace.

Amul shared the illustration across social media, writing, “#Amul Topical: Shahrukh Khan attends the world’s most prestigious and glamorous fashion event!”

Responses online were mixed. While some applauded the tribute calling it “hilarious” and “well deserved,” others felt fellow attendee Diljit Dosanjh, known for his standout style, was more deserving of the honour. One user commented, “Hahah love this.” Another user said, “Nah Diljit was the style setter not SRK.”

The 2025 Met Gala took place on Monday, May 5. It is an annual festival of haute couture that raises money for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. Many people consider the Met Gala to be the most prestigious and elegant fashion event in the world.

Other Indian attendees this year included Priyanka Chopra, Kiara Advani, Isha Ambani, Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi himself, and Diljit Dosanjh, making it a landmark year for South Asian representation on one of fashion’s biggest nights.
