(Photos) From SEVENTEEN's S.COUPS To Freen Sarocha: 10 Asian Stars Who Stunned At Met Gala 2025
The Met Gala is back! As stars from all over the globe gather at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, all eyes are on their looks on fashion's biggest night. This year's Met Gala theme is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', while the dress code was 'Tailored To You'.
There were many Asian stars at the Met Gala this year – some of whom made their debut appearance. While it may be the first for some, each one of these stars made sure to step out in style. From K-pop idols to Bollywood legends, here are 10 Asian stars who stunned at the Met Gala 2025:
Rosé (BLACKPINK)
Starting off the list is none other than BLACKPINK's (블랙핑크) Rosé (로제). The 'APT.' singer is one of the few on our list with some Met Gala experience, having attended the prestigious event in 2021. This year, she's dressed in YSL with jewellery from Tiffany & Co.
S.COUPS (SEVENTEEN)
SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) leader S.COUPS (에스쿱스) makes his mark as the first member of the 13-member boy group to attend the event. The recently announced BOSS global ambassador made his first appearance at the Met Gala wearing a custom Hanbok-inspired suit by BOSS.
Lisa (BLACKPINK)
It's hard to believe that this is Lisa's (리사) first appearance at the Met Gala – but even at her first, the 'Rockstar' singer amazes the crowd. The BLACKPINK member donned a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble that showed off her long legs.
Jennie (BLACKPINK)
Another BLACKPINK member at the Met Gala is the one and only Jennie (제니). Naturally, the singer showed up in style, wearing a custom Chanel dress inspired by one of Karl Lagerfeld's pieces from his Fall/Winter 1987 collection for the house.
Henry Golding
British-Malaysian actor Henry Golding also stepped onto the Met Gala blue carpet this year. This is Henry's second appearance at the event – the first being in 2022 – and he made sure to make his mark with a gold suit by English designer Ozwald Boateng.
Freen Sarocha
With her appearance at the Met Gala 2025, beloved star Freen Sarocha (ฟรีน สโรชา) made history as the first Thai actress to attend the event. Fans on social media loved her look by Maison Valentino, for which she is an ambassador.
Shah Rukh Khan
Despite being a household name, Shah Rukh Khan has never stepped foot into the Met Gala – until now! The iconic Bollywood actor made his first appearance at the fashion event this year, looking dashing in a black suit crafted by Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
Diljit Dosanjh
Indian singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh also made his debut appearance at this year's Met Gala. The star walked down the carpet looking absolutely regal in a custom royal Punjabi outfit by Nepalese-American designer Prabal Gurung.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Turning heads at her fifth Met Gala appearance is actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The star walked alongside husband Nick Jonas, wearing a polka-dotted bespoke suit dress by Olivier Rousteing and jewellery by Bvlgari.
Kiara Advani
Indian actress Kiara Advani's first appearance at the Met Gala is memorable for many reasons. The actress glowed on the blue carpet in her black-gold-white gown by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta and showed love for her growing baby bump with a heart-shaped mini plate.

Malaysian actor Zhang Yaodong spotted manning steamed seafood stall in Singapore
In a Xiaohongshu post, the user said the stall belongs to Zhang Yaodong and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. Photos: Xiaohongshu Singapore-based Malaysian actor Zhang Yaodong was spotted manning a steamed seafood stall at coffee shop 9007 Kopitiam in the Tampines industrial area on June 4. Clad in a plain white tee, the 47-year-old was standing in front of the cash register and appeared to be taking orders from customers. The Xiaohongshu user who posted about the sighting on June 4 said the stall belongs to Zhang and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. Amid the hustle and bustle, the user noted that the former Mediacorp artiste was polite, and affirmed Zhang in her post by saying that there is nothing better than correcting one's behaviour after making a mistake. The bachelor's image took a hit in July 2024 when rumours surfaced about him fathering children out of wedlock with women of different nationalities. The allegations resulted in him filing a police report, with his manager adding that he will not be addressing the issue again. But in November 2024, Zhang took to Instagram to commemorate his holiday to South Korea with his two daughters, confirming his father status for the first time. In February, Mediacorp's talent management agency The Celebrity Agency stated it was no longer representing him and that he has not participated in the filming of any new shows. Zhang, whose parents used to be hawkers, reportedly used to run a catering business and opened a roast meat stall in a foodcourt. He also ventured into Taiwanese cuisine, selling beef noodles in his home town of Kuala Lumpur. In 2017, he opened an Asian fusion restaurant, Maru, in Tanjong Pagar, but it has since closed. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

G-Dragon, Le Sserafim, Babymonster push on with overseas concerts amid Covid-19 surge in Asia
Babymonster performs during its world tour "Hello Monsters" in Singapore on May 17. - Photo: YG Entertainment SEOUL: Despite the recent surge in the number of Covid-19 cases across parts of Asia, K-pop stars, including G-Dragon, Le Sserafim and Babymonster, are pressing ahead with their overseas concerts. According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) on Monday (June 2), countries including China, Thailand and Singapore have recently reported a notable increase in Covid-19 cases. While the situation in Korea remains relatively stable, the agency warned that a summer resurgence is possible due to international travel and regional outbreaks. The NB.1.8.1 variant — now dominant in the affected countries — is known for its strong transmissibility and immune-evasive properties, although its severity and fatality rate remain relatively low. The KDCA is advising high-risk travelers to these countries to get vaccinated before departure. G-Dragon. - Photo: Galaxy Corporation G-Dragon of Big Bang is currently on his 'Ubermensch' world tour, performing across nine Asian cities including Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong and Bangkok as well as Sydney and Melbourne in Australia. He is slated to perform in Macao for three concerts starting June 7. Asked whether shows in Southeast Asia might be canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, his agency Galaxy Corporation told The Korea Herald, 'We don't know at this point.' G-Dragon recently called off his "G-Dragon Media Exhibition: Ubermensch" in Shanghai, which was originally scheduled to run from May 30 to June 22. While the agency cited 'unforeseen circumstances beyond our control' as the reason for the cancellation, the uptick in COVID-19 cases in China is widely suspected as a contributing factor. Babymonster, also on an Asia tour, wrapped up its 'Hello Monsters' concerts in Singapore and Hong Kong in May and is preparing for its final Southeast Asian stop in Bangkok from June 7-8. YG Entertainment confirmed it has no plans to postpone or cancel the shows. 'We're monitoring the situation closely, but the outbreak is limited to certain regions. Everything is proceeding as planned,' a YG official told The Korea Herald on Wednesday. Le Sserafim is scheduled to perform in Taiwan and Hong Kong in July, followed by concerts in the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore in August as part of its 'Easy Crazy Hot' world tour. Source Music's parent company, Hybe, also confirmed that all shows will proceed as scheduled. JYP Entertainment's acts — Niziu, Nmixx and Xdinary Heroes — are also expected to hold small-scale performances in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, respectively, in the second half of the year, with no changes announced. An industry official noted that unless governments issue specific warnings or event restrictions, K-pop agencies are unlikely to take unilateral action regarding concert postponements. 'There aren't any government guidelines like we saw during the height of the pandemic, so it's hard for companies to take preemptive action on their own,' one agency source said. Another industry official echoed the sentiment: 'Without national-level advisories, it's difficult for agencies to make those decisions independently.' - The Korea Herald/ANN
