Met Gala 2025: Shah Rukh Khan finally made his debut in all black Sabyasachi fit, but why is the internet obsessed with his ¡®K¡¯ necklace?
Shah Rukh Khan finally made his iconic Met Gala debut in 2025, serving head-to-toe black elegance, but fans cannot stop obsessing over one detail: his golden ¡®K¡¯ pendant. From Sabyasachi glam to Manish Malhotra moments, King Khan brought Bollywood royalty to the world¡¯s most fashionable battlefield, and the crowd was eating it up.

The Met Gala 2025 was already packed with drama, chaos, couture, and then Shah Rukh Khan walked in, casually dropping jaws like it was just another Tuesday. Yes, besties, King Khan finally graced the blue carpet, and not in just any outfit. The man came dressed like fashion royalty, head-to-toe in a smouldering black Sabyasachi look that screamed "global icon, but make it understated luxe."

Shah Rukh Khan FINALLY spotted for his MET Gala 2025 debut
Forget flashy fits and over-the-top theatrics. SRK chose quiet power. His tailored black ensemble was a masterclass in less-is-more elegance, but do not be fooled, there was nothing subtle about the energy he brought. The man owned the carpet, not by doing too much, but by doing it just right.

The internet reacts to SRK¡¯s ¡®K¡¯ necklace
But let us get to the moment that sent fashion Twitter (and honestly, the entire Desi internet) into a full meltdown: the necklace. Layered gold chains, yes. Drama, yes. But smack in the centre of it all was a sparkling pendant shaped like the letter ¡®K¡¯. No, it was not for ¡®Karan Johar¡¯ or ¡®Koffee,¡¯ it was a mic-drop tribute to his iconic title: King Khan. Period. Internet = broken.

Shah Rukh Khan with Manish Malhotra
SRK was not alone in this fashion domination. He rolled deep with Manish Malhotra, who also turned heads in a futuristic desi fusion fit, mixing metallic vibes with intricate Indian craftsmanship. The duo was basically the fashion Avengers. Fans and fashion critics alike were gagged, in the best way.
Beyond the glitz, Shah Rukh¡¯s debut was more than just a celebrity walk. It was a cultural reset. The first Indian male actor to ever attend the Met Gala? Historic. The fact that he did it while dripping in Sabyasachi gold and desi elegance? Iconic. This was not just a moment for him, it was a win for Indian fashion and global representation.
While many came to serve, only one walked in like he owned the palace, and wore his crown in gold. King things only.
