Shah Rukh Khan at Met Gala 2025: A Sabyasachi Fashion Moment Blending Black Dandyism and Indian Culture

Priya Adivarekar
 When Shah Rukh Khan steps into a room, elegance follows. And at the Met Gala 2025, the global icon didn't just make an entrance—he made a statement. Debuting at fashion’s most-watched event, SRK graced the red blue carpet in a head to toe custom Sabyasachi look. The King of Bollywood delivered a look that was not just fashion-forward but culturally significant, merging the elegance of Indian heritage with the refined sophistication of global menswear. Khan’s outfit, designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, was an impeccable representation of Indian couture with a distinctly modern twist. 




The outfit featured a floor-length coat made from fine Tasmanian wool, offering a tailored silhouette that was both structured and elegant. The coat was adorned with Japanese horn buttons, a detail that added a subtle, global touch to the design while keeping with the sophisticated mood of the look. The ensemble was paired with a black silk shirt and tailored trousers, offering the perfect blend of traditional Indian opulence and Western minimalist style. 

True to the dandy spirit, the accessories were bold, personal, and poetic. Khan wore layered talismanic chains, a crystal-encrusted 'K' pendant, and a diamond-studded star brooch that caught the light with every step. But the crown jewel—figuratively and nearly literally—was a handcrafted 18k gold cane, set with tourmalines, sapphires, and diamonds. It wasn't just a fashion prop; it stood out as a symbol of legacy, power, and refinement.








 The Met Gala 2025 theme—Black Dandyism—celebrated the tradition of Black men in fashion using clothing as a tool for self-expression, individuality, and power. Shah Rukh Khan’s outfit paid perfect homage to this theme. Through his choice of Sabyasachi, Khan embraced the nuanced art of dandyism, blending high fashion with cultural pride. His ensemble was not just about looking good; it was about making a bold statement about identity, legacy, and heritage. This ensemble didn’t just pay homage to Indian royalty—it celebrated the fusion of East meets West tailoring, showcasing a globalised approach to fashion, while maintaining strong ties to Indian cultural aesthetics. The satin kamarbandh, reminiscent of traditional Indian regal attire, added a touch of Mughal opulence, while the clean lines and sharp tailoring rooted the look firmly in contemporary menswear.




With this debut, Sabyasachi Mukherjee once again solidified his role as the global ambassador of Indian couture. His design philosophy—championing the “personalised imperfection of the human hand”—was stitched into every fold of the garment, and amplified by SRK’s legendary aura. To sum it up - Khan’s look stood out not for its extravagance, but for its intentionality. It was timeless. It was tailored. It was Shah Rukh Khan, the dandy, the king, the storyteller—in every stitch.

Diljit Dosanjh’s Met Gala 2025 Debut: Sikh Royalty Meets Black Dandyism in a Stunning Prabal Gurung Look

Priya Adivarekar

 Making history with his debut at the Met Gala 2025, Diljit Dosanjh turned heads and stole the spotlight with a look that was nothing short of iconic. Rooted in the elegance of Sikh royalty, his ensemble celebrated the opulence of Indian heritage while effortlessly blending in contemporary fashion cues.



Clad in a custom creation by Prabal Gurung, Diljit’s outfit paid homage to the maharaja era—luxurious silks, ornate jewels, precise tailoring, and a poised, commanding silhouette. Every element was meticulously curated, from the sculpted turban to the layering of rich fabrics and regal accessories. The look drew striking parallels to the Maharaja of Patiala, whose flamboyant fashion and larger-than-life presence once defined an era of Indian aristocratic style. The pièce de résistance was a dramatic cape, adorned with a map of Punjab and script in Gurmukhi—subtle yet powerful nods to his roots.

More than just a tribute to heritage, Diljit’s look was a flawless embodiment of the Met Gala 2025 theme: Black Dandyism. The theme, celebrating self-expression, elegance, and subversion through hyper-stylized menswear, found a powerful echo in Diljit’s ensemble. With bold layering, intricate embroidery, and an elevated sense of masculinity, his look brought together tradition and modernity in a way that felt both personal and culturally resonant.


This was not just a fashion moment—it was a bold statement. A synergy of East meets West, vintage meets modern, and royalty meets runway. Diljit didn’t just dress for the Met Gala; he owned it.

It’s no surprise that his debut is already being hailed as one of the night’s most talked-about looks. What’s not to love? With impeccable style, cultural pride, and thematic precision, Diljit Dosanjh delivered a red carpet moment for the ages.

Deepika Padukone's old world Hollywood glam at Oscars 2023 is a winner!

Priya Adivarekar

 Global domination, clearly done in style. As India created history with two memorable wins at the 95th academy awards; Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone made heads turn and created a 'wow' moment for every Indian as one of the official presenters at Oscars 2023 - making her the third Indian to be invited as a presenter at the event. Amidst applause and cheers, Padukone gracefully walked towards the stage and introduced the highly anticipated 'Naatu Naatu' (RRR) performance, along with the nomination for Best Original Song.


However, fashion enthusiasts and fans across the globe were curious to know more about Padukone's outfit choice for the big Academy Awards night, where she would be seen making her red carpet debut. Needless to say, she decided to slay it and how! 



Dressed in a custom Louis Vuitton long black off-shoulder velvet dress, with a stunning mermaid silhouette; Padukone smiled and waved, while posing for the paparazzi. The outfit exuded old world elegance and charm, along with a vintage Hollywood glam makeup touch - complete with a cat winged liner, sharp cheekbones and nude-pink matte lips. A pair of velvet gloves were the perfect addition. The statement Cartier necklace with matching bracelet and ring made Queen DP shine bright like a diamond, indeed. Of course, we all know that Padukone is the global ambassador for both LV and Cartier.

During a red carpet Q&A, Padukone humbly mentioned that 'she is trying her best to take it all in and soak in the experience', and added that she believes that the supremacy of RRR's Naatu Natal at the academy awards is 'just the tip of the iceberg'. She believes there is a lot more in store for Indian cinema on the global map. Well, we definitely agree and cannot stop raving about how Padukone continues with her contribution towards making India proud.

The Power Suit Girls | Style Files

Priya Adivarekar
If there is one statement look and trend that I swear by, it's the 'Pant-Suit' or 'Power Suit'. I can literally have them in every colour, texture and silhouette! Luckily for us, gone are the days when suits only meant stiff fabrics, straight fit trousers and corporate styled blazers, in not more than three colours - black, grey and brown (whatever happened to variance). Power suits have taken the spotlight, with celebrities opting to experiment and bring their a-game on the red carpet in brighter colours, relaxed silhouettes, and easy-going luxe blazers. 


Power suits are all about comfort, and oozing that boss girl vibe with panache! Personally, I like making trips to Zara, Massimo Dutti and Mango to get my hands on some interesting Pant Suits. There are some interesting labels, e-commerce start ups and designers who have given their own interesting spin to this powerful outfit!



Let's take a look at how some of our favourite celebrities have rocked this power packed outfit in the past, and take notes on how you can put together the perfect look for office hours. 

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Bollywood's very own female actors have sported the pant suit at multiple occasions, taking it from day to night, formal occasions to casual brunch dates and bringing their own unique twist to every look. From Sonam Kapoor Ahuja's chic pink Calvin Klein suit to Deepika Padukone's edgy purple Mao suit; the divas have showed us that the pant suit is versatile and how! Pair it with a crisp white shirt like Sonam, a bold sheer blouse like PeeCee or go for a bandeau top like Bebo to show off your abs. There is a look made in fashion heaven for everyone! 


Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Neutral tones, sculpted shoulders, tuxedo style and edgy oversized; international superstars, models and actors have showed their liking for the outfit at a variety of events. Most prefer to keep the overall look minimalistic, while letting the outfit boss up and do the talking. The outfit has not only been restricted to glamming it up at red carpet events, but has also been viewed as part of fashion liberation. Lady Gaga chose a billowing, over-sized suit, as she delivered a strong and impactful message at the Elle 25th annual women in Hollywood (October 2018), where she delivered a powerful speech on her experience with mental health struggles and sexual assault, while concluding - "Today, I wear the suit." Many celebrities have chosen to put a powerful foot forward and made a statement with their choice of outfit!

Gigi Hadid, Lady Gaga and Rihanna

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja - Festival de Cannes 2019 | Style Files

When it comes to red carpet appearances at the Cannes Film Festival, there ain't no one stopping Sonam Kapoor Ahuja. The actress made an impact with some remarkable looks at the Cannes red carpet this year. She continues to make us proud with her incredible sartorial choices (with sister and stylist Rhea Kapoor putting together the perfect looks), which go on to create a strong buzz in the international media as well. This year too, we witnessed how Sonam made a stylish splash at the French Riviera with some breathtakingly beautiful looks. We can't get over how stunning she looked in almost all her outfits. Right from the make up to accessories and her hair, we couldn't stop raving about it all. We gotta give it to Sonam for raising the bar at Cannes (and almost every other red carpet event). Here's a round up of all the looks sported by our favourite fashionista, as she attended multiple events and sashayed down the red carpet for Chopard at Cannes 2019!


Day I

Look 1
Outfit: Maison Valentino

Look 2 (Press Day)
Outfit: Elie Saab
Jewellery: Chopard



Look 3 (Chopard Night Party)
Outfit: Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla



Day II

Look 1 (Chopard Launch Event)
Outfit: Custom Ashi Studio Couture
Jewellery: Chopard



Look 2 (Red Carpet)
Outfit: Ralph & Russo Couture Tuxedo
Jewellery: Chopard



The #DancebeeFashion Pick: Sonam Kapoor Ahuja in a powerful tuxedo, painting the red carpet with massive boss babe vibes? Yes, please! The actress reserved her best look for the last appearance at Cannes 2019, as she ditched the good ol' gown and stepped out looking like a goddamn boss in a custom Ralph & Russo tuxedo. Of course, the detailing won our hearts, as the overskirt attached to the jacket oozed drama and charm all over. Statement jewellery upped the glam quotient, as the actress picked a stunning diamond and 155 carat Columbian emerald encrusted necklace to go with the look, paired with drop down earrings (both by Chopard). We absolutely loved how she made a statement with glossy nude lips and bold eyes - complete with lots of kohl, eyeliner, and layers of mascara. In the hair department, she kept the look sleek with a tight bun. A pair of white pointed-toe heels by Jimmy Choo completed this picture perfect look. Hands down our favourite look sported by the pretty actress. Truly, a class apart!



Kudos to the Kapoor sisters - Sonam and Rhea, for dishing out such impeccable looks, and forever changing the way we look at fashion.
