The Met Gala Delivered, And So Did Our Stars!

The Met Gala Delivered, And So Did Our Stars!

The 2025 Met Gala brought glamour, symbolism, and storytelling to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, South Asian style and artistic expression was front and center.

Shah Rukh Khan made his historic debut wearing Sabyasachi, becoming the first Indian male actor to walk the Met Gala red carpet. His look was everything we hoped for; it was classic, composed, and deeply rooted in Indian identity. For SRK, this was not a costume; it was a moment of cultural authority. When Shah Rukh steps into a room, the focus shifts. And at the Met, it absolutely did.

Diljit Dosanjh brought the energy that defines his style, but this time with even deeper intention. His look, designed by Prabal Gurung, was inspired by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, a symbol of power, elegance, and heritage. Draped in a custom cape featuring the map of Punjab, Diljit turned the red carpet into a canvas for cultural pride. It was not just fashion. It was storytelling. It was identity. It was a reminder that his presence is always more than personal.

Kiara Advani was radiant, powerful, and fully in her element. Dressed in Gaurav Gupta, she made headlines not just for her sculptural couture but for confidently revealing her baby bump on the red carpet. It was a moment of beauty, strength, and celebration. Kiara turned the carpet into a statement, not just about fashion but about presence, womanhood, and power. She brought grace and pride, showing that South Asian femininity can hold elegance and boldness at once.

This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” created space for conversations around fashion, identity, and influence. The South Asian stars we followed stepped onto that carpet with purpose. They expanded the frame, they commanded the space, and they made it count.

The South Asian diaspora is no longer just watching. We are shaping what the future of fashion looks like.
