Shah Rukh Khan credits his Met Gala look to designer Sabyasachi, as he attends The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" exhibition.

“It’s not just simple entertainment. I’m a memory from home, though I’m not a memory,” Khan tells TIME. “The diaspora made me the star I am.”

The very-dandy Shah Rukh Khan made his Met Gala 2025 debut dressed in a Sabyasachi suit, a tiger sceptre and the iconic 'K' necklace to publicly acknowledge his moniker “King Khan”. However, the Bollywood King too had to stop to introduce himself to the foreign media, moments after he was greeted by a sea of fans outside the New York City hotel.
