'It’s Giving Dolly Chaiwala’:Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala 2025 Look Leaves Indian Fans Disappointed, Say 'His Personality Is Saving Him!'
Shah Rukh Khan marked a significant moment in fashion history by becoming the first Indian male actor to attend the Met Gala in 2025. The event’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” focused on celebrating Black male fashion and its influence on global trends. Khan embraced the theme by donning a bespoke black silk sherwani-style jacket paired with matching trousers, designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. His look was completed with layered necklaces, including a standout diamond ‘K’ pendant—a nod to his title, "King Khan."

While his presence created a buzz internationally, reactions back home in India were mixed. Many social media users expressed disappointment with his outfit, finding it underwhelming for such a prestigious event. Some fans felt the ensemble didn’t quite meet the grandeur expected from a Met Gala debut. Comments like “It’s giving Dolly Chaiwala” and “Personality is saving him” trended on social media, suggesting that while the outfit itself may not have impressed, Khan’s inherent charm and star power carried the look.

Prior to the event, designer Sabyasachi built anticipation with subtle hints and posts featuring phrases like “KING KHAN” and “KING KHAN BENGAL TIGER,” alluding to both the actor’s persona and the designer’s iconic motif.

Speaking about his participation, Shah Rukh Khan shared his thoughts on the event’s theme, saying, “I liked what it stood for—the concept of revolution and resolution, not through anger or fighting, but by being exuberant and artistic. Dressing up in a way that made a statement.” He emphasized the importance of representing India on such global platforms.

At 59, Khan continues to push boundaries in both cinema and fashion. With upcoming projects involving his children and a focus on immersive filmmaking, his Met Gala debut further reinforced his evolving legacy.
