While his overall appearance was a showstopper, it was the bold ‘K’ pendant that truly stole the spotlight.

While speaking with Vogue at the event, Shah Rukh Khan revealed that it was fashion designer Sabyasachi who convinced him to attend the MET Gala 2025. He shared, “I'm extremely nervous and excited. Sabya here, Sabyasachi, who convinced me to come here. I've not done too many red carpets; I'm very shy. For me, it's the first time.”

Further opening up about his MET Gala 2025 look, King Khan shared how he kept things true to his signature style while collaborating with Sabyasachi. SRK revealed that he told the designer that he prefers to stick to black and white and the final creation reflected just that, blending elegance with personal comfort. The standout accessory? A sleek cane that added just the right touch of flair to his debut.

Designer Sabyasachi also revealed that there was a 'stampede' outside the hotel when SRK stepped out for his MET Gala 2025 debut. He shared that when people like him walk the red carpet, especially with a theme like Black Dandyism, representation becomes the most important thing. Sabyasachi added, "We wanted to represent Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan and nobody else."
