On his way to the Gala, Shah Rukh looked incredibly stylish in an all-black Sabyasachi suit.
He effortlessly added a royal touch to his ensemble by carrying a tiger sceptre, giving off regal vibes. However, it was his necklace that truly captured the attention of everyone.
SRK wore a striking ‘K’ necklace, which was a playful nod to his iconic title, “King Khan”, a moniker bestowed upon him by his fans and the media.
Along with this, he wore multiple gold chains that added a touch of grandeur to his already dazzling look.
Shah Rukh was accompanied by his manager, Pooja Dadlani, and as soon as photos of the actor surfaced on social media, fans flooded platforms like X and Instagram with excited reactions. Many praised his dapper look, calling it cool and stylish.
The collaboration between SRK and designer Sabyasachi was confirmed the day before the event when Sabyasachi posted two messages on his Instagram stories.
The first read, “KING KHAN,” and the second teased with “KING KHAN BENGAL TIGER” alongside his brand’s logo, which features a royal Bengal tiger.
Shah Rukh’s Met Gala look perfectly complemented this year’s theme, “Tailoring Black Style”.
Notably, Sabyasachi, the designer behind SRK’s outfit, also walked the Met Gala red carpet this year.
Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, other prominent Indian personalities like Kiara Advani, Priyanka Chopra, and Isha Ambani also attended the Gala, adding to the Indian presence at this prestigious event.
