Shah Rukh Khan in Sabyasachi

Making a powerful Met debut, Shah Rukh Khan donned a sharp all-black suit by Sabyasachi, layered with statement jewellery and a bold “K” pendant. With a cane in hand, tousled hair, dark shades, and leather boots, SRK redefined dandy elegance with a brooding edge.

Priyanka Chopra in Balmain

Priyanka Chopra turned heads in a structured Balmain creation featuring a cinched waist and dramatic shoulders. The pièce de résistance? A 241.06-carat faceted emerald necklace from Bvlgari—the largest ever set by the brand—sealing her spot as Met Gala royalty.

Diljit’s look fused tradition and flair. In a custom Prabal Gurung outfit paired with a regal turban and Golecha jewels, he also carried a ceremonial Kripan—blending spiritual symbolism with red carpet drama.

Natasha Poonawalla in Manish Malhotra

Known for her fashion-forward risks, Natasha Poonawalla wore a couture piece by Manish Malhotra that paid homage to her Parsi roots. Combining vintage Gara saris, a corset-cummerbund, and a sculptural lace cravat, her look was a marriage of legacy and high fashion.

Mona Patel in Thom Browne

Businesswoman and fashion innovator Mona Patel made a futuristic entrance in a custom Thom Browne tuxedo gown—joined by Vector, a robotic dog in diamonds. With a 1000-carat diamond leash and tech-powered movements, Vector was as much a star as his dazzling owner.

Kiara Advani in Gaurav Gupta

Isha Ambani in Anamika Khanna

Isha Ambani stunned in a majestic look by Anamika Khanna, anchored by a handwoven Benarasi train and styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania. Her heritage-heavy look included a rare Cartier necklace that once belonged to the Maharaja of Nawanagar.

Manish Malhotra in Manish Malhotra Couture

Designer Manish Malhotra stepped into the Met spotlight in a black sherwani cape embroidered with fine beadwork. His layered jewellery and dandy-inspired silhouette blended tradition and artistry for an unforgettable debut.

Sabyasachi in His Own Label

Sabyasachi joined SRK on the carpet in a bespoke ivory quilted overcoat, accented with an ornate velvet cap, multi-strand choker, and signature jewellery. His look was a study in regal minimalism and timeless Indian luxury.

 Diya Mehta in Bloni Atelier

Stylist Diya Mehta brought a fresh edge in a crystal-encrusted suit-gown hybrid by Bloni Atelier. Made of pure Himalayan cashmere and accented with clear quartz crystals, the structured silhouette was paired with a Nehru cap, silver cane, and polki jewellery—blending contemporary fashion with cultural roots.

From regal sherwanis to futuristic gowns, the 2025 Met Gala was more than just a fashion showcase, it was a proud cultural moment for Indian-origin talent on a global stage.
