Shah Rukh Khan at Met Gala 2025: A Sabyasachi Fashion Moment Blending Black Dandyism and Indian Culture
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.
What are your thoughts on SRK's Met Gala debut, and his all black look?

Celebrity Style Files - Wedding Edition | Virushka Reception
After a fairy tale wedding in Italy, newly wed couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma hosted a high profile reception at the Taj Diplomatic Enclave in Delhi last night. Among the key attendees were Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cricketers Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan, Gautam Gambhir among others. The reception was also attended by close friends and family of the duo. Highlight of the evening included an energetic performance by legendary Punjabi singer - Gurdas Mann.
While the guest list grabbed attention, fans of the power couple were naturally excited to see their respective looks for the occasion. Needless to say, they did not disappoint at all! Kohli and Sharma elegantly walked out of the reception venue, and posed for the media at a special area created for the latter. Once again, the bride and groom went for a top to toe look designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, which clearly focused on reviving (and promoting) Indian handloom. While Sharma looked stunning in a traditional red Benarasi saree, Kohli went for a classic black textured silk signature bandhgala. Their respective outfits and the choice of colour complimented the duo very well.
Kohli chose a white silk kurta with hand woven brocade churidaar to go with his bandhgala. House buttons in 18k gold added the perfect touch of blind to the overall look. He teamed it with a beautiful hand embroidered antique Pashmina shawl from the designer's 'Kashmir Revival' project. A pair of traditional mojris (once again, from the designer's accessory line) completed the look.
Sharma looked every inch a glowing bride, as she posed for the shutterbugs with her husband in tow, minutes before the main reception. According to Sabyasachi, Sharma wanted to wear a traditional red outfit for her reception, and he picked 'the one' from the by-lanes of Peeli Kothi in Benaras. Nothing better than a good ol' beautiful Benarasi saree, complete with traditional bangles, a neatly tied up bun, fresh mogra gajras, heavily kohled eyes and sindoor. Of course, we couldn't take our eyes off the heavy heritage uncut diamond choker, which was paired perfectly with jhumkas, both from Sabyasachi's bridal jewellery collection. The hair and make up was perfect, and complimented the overall 'desi' look of the bride very well. Sharma gave hundreds of brides-to be some serious wedding outfit goals with this gorgeous look! And well, the ace designer believes, copies of this look will flood the market very soon. We couldn't agree more!
We are excited to see their next set of looks, especially at the Mumbai reception, which is scheduled on December 26. But so far, which look did you like the most? The dreamy outfits at Virushka Wedding or the traditional look at Delhi reception?
Celebrity Style Files - Wedding Edition | Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's fairytale wedding at a heritage property in Tuscany is all over our timelines. The duo, who got married at a private ceremony in Italy on Monday, looked every inch a power couple in love. Right from the dreamy set up to the stunning outfits, every detail grabbed a lot of eyeballs. The couple chose to announce their big day with a post on their respective social media accounts and needless to say, platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook went crazy with constant RTs, reposts and shares. In fact, Kohli's post on Instagram went on to become the fastest to reach 1 million likes in less than a hour.
Ace fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee was roped in to design the wedding ensemble for both the bride and groom. We couldn't take our eyes off Sharma's blush pink lehenga, chosen for the wedding ceremony. Sabyasachi's idea was to chose a colour that would perfectly blend in with surroundings of Tuscany, rather than stand out. The blush pink outfit with tropical flora and fauna was hand embroidered in silk floss. Exotic birds and butterflies were rendered with needle craft. And, guess how many karigars worked on Sharma's lehenga? 67! Yes, you read that right. 67 karigars worked over a period of 32 days to create this stunning ensemble. Beautiful jadau jewellery (handcrafted in uncut diamonds, pearls and pale pink spinel), minimal make up and a neat up do, perfectly set with flowers, completed her look.
On the wedding day, the bride and groom complimented each other, as they chose hues of ivory, blush pink and gold for their respective outfits. The floral theme dominated, right from the set up to outfits and even the bidaai ritual, where family members were seen showering Sharma with rose petals all around.
For her Mehendi ceremony, Sharma wanted a colourful outfit. Sabyasachi created a boho look, full of colours. We absolutely love the graphic lehenga in fuchsia pink and Indian orange (mango shade might ring a bell). The outfit is handprinted by famous Kolkata based block printers and hand embroidered with gota and marori.
At the engagement ceremony, one couldn't help but fall in love with the vintage vibes all around. Sharma was keen on wearing a velvet saree. The designer chose to create it in their signature Gulkand burgundy hue. The saree was hand embroidered using miniature pearls, zardosi and marori. The look was accessorised with a stunning uncut diamond and pearl choker, with matching studs. Minimal make up, kohl rimmed eyes, a neat bun with perfectly set red roses and a bindi completed Sharma's lovely vintage look.

In a joint statement released yesterday, Sharma and Kohli said - “Today we have promised each other to be bound in love forever. We are truly blessed to share this wonderful news with you. This beautiful day will be made more special with the love and support of our family of fans and well wishers. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.” The couple will be hosting a reception in New Delhi for their relatives on December 21, which will be followed by a reception for industry friends and cricketers in Mumbai on December 26.

Anushka Sharma - Festive Style for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil promotions | Style Files
With her latest release Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, running successfully across the globe, Anushka Sharma is winning hearts and earning praises for her flawless portrayal of Alizeh. We are quite sure the actress is enjoying a truly happy Diwali. While her on-screen role continues to earn accolades, off screen too, the actress hasn't disappointed us with her sartorial choices, especially during the promotions of ADHM. One stunning look after another, Anushka gave us some major festive style goals. We take a look at some of our favourites.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Sabyasachi
Anushka attended a popular comedy show, along with her co-actors from the film. We are head over heels in love with this black and gold Sabyasachi outfit (earlier seen on the runway at Lakmè Fashion Week W/F 2016). Her stylist, Allia, accessorised the look with a studded necklace by Kishandas Jewellery. We love how the overall look has been kept simple, with sleek centre parted hair and subtle make up, allowing the necklace and gold detailing on the outfit to stand out.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Manish Malhotra
Earlier today, the actress was spotted celebrating Diwali with the media at a suburban multiplex. After a short press conference, the actress was seen lighting diyas and distributing sweets, in this beautiful Manish Malhotra saree. She accessorised the look with a pair of jhumkas and a gold bangle. Her MUA, Puneet Saini, has done a great job with all of Anushka's looks for ADHM promotions. Here, she has opted for a natural look, with slightly flushed cheeks and rose pink lips. Centre parted updo and a pair of metallic flats completed her look.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Anita Dongre
For the second episode of the same comedy show, where she earlier sported a Sabyasachi outfit, Anushka chose a gorgeous ivory Anita Dongre outfit, with a long gold embroidery jacket. A pair of earrings by Curio Cottage and ring by Kishandas Jewellery added a nice touch of festive bling to the look. Smokey eyes, nude lips and hair tied into an updo; Anushka was ready to glam it up!
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla
One of our favourite looks on the chirpy actress, Anushka chose a canary yellow areesa kamarband multi-kali by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla for a reality show. The hand embroidered outfit, with mirror and zardozi work, looked like a dream on Anushka, who ditched accessories and opted for a natural look with tousled waves.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Manish Malhotra
For a promotional event, Anushka chose a midnight blue Manish Malhotra anarkali, with gold sleeves, dupatta and embellished buttons. We like how the actress opted for statement earrings by Isharya, a neat, centre parted bun, minimal make up and a tiny bindi to go with the outfit. This 'Diwali' ready look is flawless. Perfect for those who like to keep it simple, yet make a strong impact with their outfit.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Sukriti & Aakriti
Just a few days before the big release, Anushka and her co-star Ranbir Kapoor, were spotted visiting the sets of some popular television shows. For one such appearance, Anushka picked a salmon pink dress with metallic detailing by Sukriti & Aakriti. She accessorised this look with a pair of statement earrings (clearly, her favourite accessory this season) by Amrapali Jewels. Once again, the make up was simple, with eyebrows on fleek and rose pink lips. Oh, and we love that crown braid!
Have you seen Ae Dil Hai Mushkil yet? (psst! go read our review to know more about the film) 2016 is clearly Anushka's year, with two powerful and completely different performances as Aarfa (Sultan) and Alizeh (ADHM). More power to you, girl!

Kareena Kapoor Khan's Maternity Style | Birthday Special
That we cannot take our eyes off the rosy glow on her face is obvious. But, another aspect that really stood in the last couple of weeks is Kareena Kapoor Khan's choice of outfits. Ever since she confirmed her pregnancy, Bebo has been given every to-be mommy some serious maternity style goals. Not that she never surprised us with her sartorial choices before, but her mommy to-be outfits are seriously a notch above. Little or no make up [with the exception of a bold or nude lipstick in some cases], right choice of silhouettes and the perfect accessories; Kareena is clearly nailing it. Here's a look at some of our favourite looks sported by the charming begum, who turns 36 today.
1. In H&M for Global Citizen Event
Trust Kareena to be a sassy and stylish mommy! At a recent event, where she addressed the audience and media, Kareena opted for a Black jersey dress and dark emerald green jewel toned jacket by H&M. She added a gold bracelet and pair of black cage heels to complete the look. The make up was bare minimum, with just her favourite kajal and a swipe of nude lipstick, and she kept it simple with a ponytail. Quite a cool look, this!
2. In Eka, Zara & Tod's for a Casual Meet
After attending a brand event, Kareena opted for this super comfortable dress by designer Rina Singh's Eka. There ain't no room for Monday morning blues, if you see someone looking so stylish in a casual outfit! Bebo's stylist Tanya Ghavri added a pair of flats by Tod's and pretty fringe bag from Zara to this look. Once again, Bebo opted for minimal make up. Soft, natural waves completed this lovely look.
3. In Swapnil Shinde for an Ad Shoot
It can't get cuter than this! While shooting for an ad film, Bebo stepped out looking adorable as ever in a blush pink off-shoulder maxi dress by designer Swapnil Shinde. Neutral make up and soft vintage waves added some glamour to this chic look. Definitely one of our favourite looks on Kareena this season!
4. In Sabyasachi for Press Con + LFW Grand Finale
As the brand ambassador for Lakmè India, Kareena Kapoor Khan kickstarted the last day of Lakmè Fashion Week W/F 2016 [held in Mumbai last month] with a press meet, where she looked stunning in a floral Sabyasachi maxi dress. Bold red lips and glamorous side swept hair looked perfect on her. Later, she made waves as the showstopper for designer Sabyasachi's showcase at the grand finale. During the post event press conference, she got a little emotional and added that it was a pleasure to walk the ramp with her yet to be born baby in tow. Awww!
5. In Bungalow 8 & Gucci for post LFW meet
After a long day of interviews and taking over the Lakmè Fashion Week grand finale as the showstopper, Bebo slipped into a relaxed yet gorgeous outfit. Her stylist, Tanya, chose this pretty dress from Bungalow 8's pre-fall collection and paired it with Gucci loafers, which added a hint of metallics to an otherwise neutral look. Well defined eyes, side swept hair and that perfect mommy hood glow; simply perfect!
Here's wishing Bollywood's gorgeous begum and the amazingly charming - Kareena Kapoor Khan, a very happy and blessed birthday!

A Weaver of Dreams | Exclusive Interview - Sabyasachi Mukherjee
We are yet to come across any woman who hasn't confessed that she would love to be a 'Sabyasachi Bride' on her big day. Ace designer Sabyasachi, who pioneered the use of Indian textiles by using unusual fabrics, gorgeous embellishments and diverse colour palettes, is back with a showcase to remember at the ongoing Lakmè Fashion Week W/F 2016. As the grand finale designer, Sabyasachi is ready to bring out the best of evening wear for the festive season, with all things shimmer and shine, at an off site show that will be held at Mehboob Studios this Sunday.
On a sunny Tuesday afternoon, we caught up with Sabyasachi in between long hours at fittings, that had ensured some major hubbub. Unfazed by it all, we saw the designer quietly concentrating on his work, all this while being under the weather. But, the designer ensured that our conversation would be a memorable one. And, it sure was. Excerpts from our exclusive chat with the award winning designer:
Several fans and fashionistas wait with bated breath for your showcase. What can they look forward to at the Lakmè Fashion Week Grand Finale?
The finale always has to be larger than life. So, I have done an extensive collection, which is going to be both Indian and western at the same time. Silhouettes shall range from short, micro mini cocktail dresses to stately sarees and lehengas. It's all evening wear, based on the theme - Illuminate and Shine, as you wear shimmer and shine mostly at night. The collection will be broken into different stories, and there will also be a big performance by the Symphony of India Orchaestra. All this, at a wide and big set.
What do you have to say about the theme for this season - Illuminate?
India loves bling and shimmer. As we are moving towards the festive season, this theme is very well timed. In fact, we were independently planning to do a clothing line based on shimmer. We do a lot of traditional outfits and there was a need to break in to the market for cocktail clothing. So, when Lakmè approached me, asking if I would like to be the finale designer and informed that the theme would be Illuminate and Shine, I said why not! Both minds aligned at the same place and things just got easier.
Your thoughts on the all new Lakmè Absolute Illuminate range.
The make up range is extremely beautiful. You see, India tends to go either too glossy or very iridescent with make up. Illuminate is a softer take on gloss, and I think it will look much nicer on Indian skin. I personally feel that the Indian skin looks very nice with a little bit of a wet sheen or humid gloss. So, it's going to be perfect for us.
It's been more than a decade since you were discovered. How have you seen Lakmè Fashion Week and the designers involved change over the years?
Had I been discovered a decade later, I don't know if I would even stand a chance among these kids. When I came into fashion week, I did not know what a look book was and didn't even have a line sheet. I don't even know if I had prices on my outfits, leave alone tags (smiles). I wasn't even aware about the process of meeting buyers, nor did I have a laptop on me. In fact, when I got discovered, I had called my parents from a PCO. Everyone was saying great things about me, and the call dropped. So, I didn't even own a cellphone. Today, when I look at the kids, they are way smarter and organised. They have had a more aggressive education as compared to us. I have witnessed a big evolution.
What do you have to say about the melange of technology and fashion that we get to see these days?
The fact that we chose to showcase our couture collection on Instagram should tell you how much we respect technology. We have an entire social media team working for us. It's a medium that should be used to streamline, grow and democratise your business. I don't agree with the fact that technology should be used in design. As the world gets more and more globalised, people will ultimately come to you for handcrafted things. So, you can still produce handcrafted items, but retain the market through technology.
What are your thoughts on the Ministry of Textiles and Hon. minister Smriti Irani's #IWearHandloom initiative on social media?
It's a fantastic initiative. I have always said that we have a lot to celebrate in this country, but we only celebrate when the west has given us a validation. It's time that India discovers itself before the west discovers us. When somebody with a strong political will can inspire an entire nation to think Indian, it's a fantastic opportunity for all of us.
Since the wedding season is just around the corner, several fans wanted your comment on the top trends for brides.
Personally, I would always recommend that you don't think about trends. That's just not the correct way to shop for your wedding. Trends are transient, so your wedding outfits will become irrelevant in years to come. Your wedding album should stay on with you for the rest of your life. So, follow tradition and wear red & gold.
What's your trend forecast for Spring / Summer 2017?
A lot of pink pastels, monochromes and ombrè. Also, there will be lots of long, linear columns in monotones. Or, you go for something super contrast and sporty.
Love,
The Dancebee

Anushka Sharma at Sultan promotions | Style Files
Anushka Sharma not only managed to win accolades and love for her impeccable performance as the gorgeous Aarfa in Sultan, but also scored points for her sartorial choices during the promotional leg of the film. From casual, relaxed vibes to sleek and sophisticated, Anushka aced every look with great confidence and the perfect make up - hair combination. We take a look at her top picks during the Sultan promotions. Do you have a favourite? Coz' we sure do.
At the trailer launch in Nikhil Thampi
Trailer launch in Nikhil Thampi - Anushka pulled off the ultimate girl boss avatar at Sultan trailer launch in Mumbai. For the occasion, which was a grand event at a Mumbai studio, Anushka picked an all black pant suit by Nikhil Thampi with metallic gold detailing on the waist. Sleek, straight hair with fresh make up and light coral lips blended perfectly with her overall look. We couldn’t take our eyes off the studded pair of Louboutin flats, which added a nice touch of bling to an otherwise noir dominated look.
Video Promotional Activities in Verandah
Who cares about Monday blues when Anushka was busy rocking a denim day. She carried off this casual outfit in the prettiest way and rocked the season’s hottest trend - off shoulder, with an icy blue top by Verandah. Ripped denims, minimal make up, sleek hair and a pair of studded Valentino ankle strap flats was all she needed to rock this look!
Promotional Activities in H&M
For a day full of promotional activities for her then upcoming film, Anushka kept it simple and stylish with an all black H&M outfit and black peep toes to go with it. Nude lips, minimal make up and sleek hair went well with this look.
On the sets of Udaan in Sabyasachi
To add some glamour and promote her film on a daily soap, Anushka picked a stunning Sabyasachi number with red floral embroidery. We loved the matching pair of earrings by Curio Cottage. Vardhan Nayak’s make up was a mix of rich rouge and cherry, with bold red lips doing and cheek highlights on point. A sleek centre parted bun completed her look.
On the sets of a reality show in Nachiket Barve
One of our favourite looks from the ones sported by Anushka during the Sultan promotions. The actress looked chic and fun in a black Tulipmania number by Nachiket Barve. Right from the big floral detailing to long sleeves and shoulder cut outs, everything about this outfit spelled perfect. Summery fresh make up by Puneet Saini, soft tousled hair by Daniel Bauer and those lovely tie-up black flats; all of them made for a complete winner. Major girl crush on this look!
Success Press Conference in Pull & Bear
Trust Anushka to end the promotional leg of Sultan with a bang, literally! She upped the style game with the perfect athleisure look at the success meet of Sultan in Panvel. A Pull & Bear denim jacket, the perfect jersey dress, pair of white sneakers and reflective round sunglasses in one of our favourite colours; the entire look was put together very well. We like how she tied her hair up in a simple high ponytail (keeping the humid weather in mind) and kept the make up at bare minimal, letting her outfit do all the talking. Her attitude and smile was like the perfect cherry on top.

Lakme Fashion Week Winter / Festive 2013 in Pictures
Hola! Wow, it's been a long time since I posted here, isn't it? Well, I thought my busy bee side was at it's crazy best only during XIC days. Little did I know that office life is going to be completely different and I am learning to deal with surprises almost every day. But, my passion for things I love can never die and my blog is definitely one of them.
A big thank you to all the readers who keep sending in emails and messages to tell me that they miss the Dancebee's posts. It's your support and encouragement that keeps me going. So, I promise you guys that I - The busy bee aka Dancebee - will always come back home and update the blog. No matter what! And now, moving on to the post.
I took some time out to attend the Lakme Fashion Week winter / festive 2013 in August. While Sabyasachi's grand finale was hands down the best showcase, a few other designers like Amit Aggarwal also impressed with their innovative ideas and designs. Actress Karisma Kapoor dazzled as the show stopper for Vikram Phadnis, while Priyanka Chopra was spotted blowing kisses in the air for Reliance trends Bisou Bisou.
So, let's take a look at LFW through my iPad lens (Yes! Because I couldn't carry my DSLR).
