The Met Gala 2025 was a star-studded event that brought together the best of Bollywood and Hollywood on one iconic red carpet. Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Kiara Advani turned heads with their stunning outfits, adding a touch of Indian elegance to the glamorous evening.
Hollywood stars such as Rihanna and Zendaya also made unforgettable appearances, showing off their unique styles. This year’s theme, “Tailored for You,” allowed celebrities to showcase their creativity, blending classic glamour with personal flair, making the night truly unforgettable.
Shah Rukh Khan steals the show? Hmm...
Shah Rukh Khan made history with his much-anticipated debut at the Met Gala 2025, becoming the first Indian actor to grace the iconic red carpet. Ofcourse, there's that video of going viral in which it looks like the reporters at the red carpet failed to recognise him. For his debut, SRK wore a custom all-black tailored suit designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, delivering a powerful and elegant style statement.
The highlight of his look was his striking layered jewellery, featuring gold chains and a bold, oversized ‘K’ pendant — a tribute to his title, “King Khan.” However, a lot of people on social media seemed let down by his outfit. And yes, then there was the conspiracy theory when netizens dug out an uncanny connection between SRK and Priyanka, when they had sported similar looks while attending a polo match together in 2007.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas serve couple fashion goals
The Met Gala 2025 wasn’t just a parade of haute couture; it turned into a full-blown romantic date on the red carpet when Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas made a dazzling appearance hand in hand, proving once again they’re the ultimate couple goals. The fashion spectacle saw Bollywood’s beloved Desi Girl and her pop-star husband embrace the event’s “Tailored for You” dress code with effortless chemistry and style.
While red carpet moments come and go, this one had both sartorial and personal elements, as the couple’s appearance felt like a sweet throwback to their very first Met Gala outing together in 2017. For her 5th appearance at the iconic Met Gala, Priyanka donned a custom white halter-neck gown by Olivier Rousteing of luxury fashion house Balmain. The structured piece was playfully adorned with black polka dots, giving off strong retro glamour vibes while maintaining an ultra-modern silhouette. The dress was cinched perfectly at the waist with a slim black belt and featured bold black buttons down the front.
Diljit turns Punjabi royalty in Maharaja-inspired attire
The Met Gala just witnessed a royal takeover, and it was led by none other than global Punjabi sensation Diljit Dosanjh. Making his much-awaited debut at fashion’s most prestigious night, Diljit redefined red carpet presence by fusing tradition with grandeur in a look that celebrated Indian royalty in all its glory. In true showman style, the singer-actor stepped out of New York’s Carlyle Hotel and left fans in awe as he embraced his roots, serving Maharaja royalty on the global stage.
Styled by one of the most renowned designers, Prabal Gurung, Diljit’s outfit was not just a fashion statement but a cultural moment for all Indians. The first look of Diljit was revealed across social media platforms. The viral video showed Diljit in an impeccably tailored white ensemble that featured a structured suit layered with a traditional Indian drape, exuding royal finesse.
Isha Ambani rocks black dandyism theme
Isha Ambani once again stole the show at the Met Gala, this year in an exquisite outfit designed by Indian designer Anamika Khanna. Director at Reliance Retail Ventures Limited, Isha Ambani made a powerful fashion statement in an embroidered white corset teamed with black tailored trousers and an ornate floor-grazing cape, which took over 20,000 hours to embroider. The androgynous fashion look complemented this year’s Met Gala theme of Black Dandyism. The ensemble was further accentuated with semi-precious stones and intricate traditional pearls.
Kiara Advani makes breathtaking debut
Bollywood actress and mom-to-be Kiara Advani made her much-anticipated Met Gala debut in New York City — and it was nothing short of iconic. Walking the famed steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time, Kiara embraced this year’s theme, “Tailored for You”, with a deeply personal narrative woven into couture.
What truly made her appearance historic? The glowing actress proudly debuted her baby bump on the red carpet, turning heads in a breathtaking creation by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta. Kiara’s Met Gala look, titled “Bravehearts”, wasn’t just another red carpet moment — it was a sartorial love letter to motherhood, legacy, and inner strength. Blending Indian craftsmanship with avant-garde fashion, she stunned in a sculptural ensemble featuring an antique gold breastplate, intricately adorned with ghungroos and shimmering crystals, symbolising both tradition and bold femininity.
Mona Patel walks with robotic dog as an accessory
Among the evening’s most buzzworthy appearances was that of Mona Patel, whose avant-garde ensemble and unexpected accessory firmly placed her on every best-dressed list. She certainly brought the drama that the Met Gala calls for! Mona wore a custom three-piece creation by Thom Browne, known for reimagining classic tailoring through a contemporary lens.
The outfit was a celebration of structure and femininity — a sharp black suit elevated with a beaded corseted bodice, giving silhouette an hourglass shape while paying homage to South Asian aesthetics. Peeking from underneath was a white halter shirt, adding dimension and contrast. She paired the look with tailored black pants, clean-cut and precise, reinforcing the theme of modern suiting.
