SRK at Met Gala? Rumours swirl over Shah Rukh Khan and Sabyasachi collab

Buzz is building around the possibility that Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan will attend the prestigious Met Gala for the first time this year, with reports suggesting a collaboration with top Indian fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

The rumours were sparked by a cryptic Instagram Story from fashion commentary account Diet Sabya, which posted a teaser reading:

"STOP THE PRESSES!!! The impossible just happened! Two titans of their craft – the greatest Bollywood superstar – and the biggest designer of our generation – are joining forces for their MET Gala 2025 debut."

While the post did not mention names, the description immediately led fans to speculate about Shah Rukh Khan and Sabyasachi. The caption, "#MetGala is gonna be exciting. discuss babyyyyy," only added fuel to the fire.

Online speculation escalates

The discussion quickly went viral on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and Instagram. Some users suggested that Amitabh Bachchan could also be the mystery Bollywood figure, while others floated names like Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan, and Ranbir Kapoor.

Actor Kubbra Sait chimed in, hoping for Ranveer Singh, calling him “magic.” Meanwhile, other reports have also mentioned actress Kiara Advani as a possible Met Gala attendee this year, despite her being pregnant.

Met Gala 2025 theme and hosts

This year's Met Gala theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," with the official dress code titled "The Garden of Time." The annual fashion event is scheduled for May and is known for extravagant couture and high-profile appearances.

The 2025 event will be co-chaired by an eclectic mix of global stars: singer Pharrell Williams, actor Colman Domingo, F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. NBA legend LeBron James is listed as an honorary co-chair.

If confirmed, Shah Rukh Khan would become the first Indian male actor to walk the Met Gala red carpet, marking a significant cultural crossover moment for Indian fashion and cinema on a global stage.

There is no official confirmation from Khan or Sabyasachi’s teams yet, but fashion watchers and fans alike are eagerly waiting.
