Classic, Charismatic, And Unforgettable: Decoding Shah Rukh Khan's Style Legacy
In his career spanning 33 years, Shah Rukh Khan won his first National Award. This makes for the perfect time to decode his style.
It was a moment of cinematic glory as Shah Rukh Khan, the undisputed King of Bollywood, took home his first-ever National Award last night. This makes for a perfect time to take into note the quiet power of his style, something fans and fashion watchers alike have admired for decades. Because with Shah Rukh Khan, it's never just about the movies, it's about the man, the mystery, and the unmistakable mood he brings to every appearance.
From the '90s romantic hero in flowing shirts and windswept hair to the suave, sharply tailored global icon he is today, Shah Rukh Khan 's fashion evolution is a masterclass in timeless charm and quiet confidence.
Shah Rukh Khan rarely follows trends. Instead, he builds looks around silhouettes that suit him: tailored suits, well-cut jackets, and luxe textures like velvet or silk that subtly elevate without screaming for attention. His colour palette? Strong, monochromatic staples, think blacks, deep navy, charcoals, with the occasional jewel-toned sherwani or embroidered detail that nods to tradition.
Takeaway for the Modern Man
Khan proves that fashion doesn't need to be flashy to be effective. Fit is everything. Whether it's a tux or a tee, the right fit can elevate your presence without a word. Accessorising is minimal, perhaps a watch or sunglasses that exude quiet swagger. He lets his aura do the talking, and that in itself is a style lesson.
Fashion That Ages Like Fine Wine
While many actors experiment wildly over the years, Khan's evolution has been steady and thoughtful. His fashion reflects his journey: elegant, self-assured, rooted. He embraces age with grace, no attempts to stay 'young' through trends, just a growing refinement of personal style.

Brad Pitt's Mom Jane Dies At 84; Family Says 'We Were Not Ready For You To Go Yet'
Jane Pitt, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings - Doug and Julie - in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father. Brad Pitt is grieving the loss of his beloved mother, Jane Pitt, who passed away at the age of 84. Jane, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings – Doug and Julie – in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father, William Pitt, a former trucking company owner. Though the family kept a low profile, Jane occasionally stepped into the public eye to support her Oscar-winning son, attending red carpets including the 2012 Oscars and the 2014 premiere of Unbroken, directed by then-daughter-in-law Angelina Jolie. On Wednesday, August 6, Brad's niece Sydney — Doug's daughter — shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Calling Jane 'the biggest heart," she wrote, 'My sweet Grammy, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier." Sydney added, 'She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it. I don't know how we move forward without her." Jane Pitt was not only a dedicated mother and grandmother but also a passionate supporter of children's health. In 2009, Brad and his siblings donated $1 million to open the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center in Missouri. The facility brought the region its first pediatric oncologist and hematologist, demonstrating the family's commitment to meaningful change. Even as recently as June 2025, Brad Pitt paid tribute to his mom during a press interview for his film F1. Speaking to Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, he smiled and said, 'I gotta say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning. To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom," before blowing a kiss on camera. Jane's deep impact on her children's lives was evident in a 2018 video for WorldServe International. 'I'm very proud of all my children," she said. 'They see a need and try to step in and fill it… It's an amazing thing." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Anupam Kher breaks silence on Saiyaara dominating Tanvi The Great at box office: 'Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota...'
Comparisons and competition are unavoidable when two movies are released at roughly the same time. That's precisely what happened when Mohit Suri 's elegant romantic drama Saiyaara and Anupam Kher 's touching drama Tanvi The Great opened in theaters on the same day. Tanvi The Great failed to achieve the same level of commercial success as the latter, which dominated the box office with over Rs 500 crore and captured the hearts of the public with its music and youthful star cast. However, it isn't keeping Anupam Kher up at night. He believes that movies are about feelings rather than profits. When asked if he believes the Saiyaara craze is to blame for his film's poor performance, the veteran actor responded, "I don't believe that's true," in an interview with News18. 'A few years down the line, when someone will ask you what are your five favorite films are, you won't name the ones based on which of these movies made a business worth crores." The actor continued, "You'll name the ones which touched your hearts." 'Maybe Tanvi the Great didn't mint much money, but it is still priceless. I recently met a lady outside the theater who hugged me tightly and started crying, saying this was the best film she has ever watched," Kher added. Kher's remarks provided a much-needed break in a society that is fixated on numbers. 'You don't value everything based only on money. Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota, to phir log hamesha five-star hotel me hi khate na, dhaba koi kyu jata?" He revealed that he firmly supports his film in spite of the poor collections. 'My film is outstanding commercially," he stated. Tanvi The Great is subtly capturing hearts, while Saiyaara continues to rule the screen thanks to its box office power and Gen-Z appeal. Anupam Kher is the film's producer and director. He co-stars with Iain Glen. On July 18, 2025, Tanvi the Great was released in theaters.
