Shah Rukh Khan and BLACKPINK's Lisa dominate Met Gala 2025 power ranking, beating Lewis Hamilton, Zendaya, Jennie, other Hollywood A-listers
Despite not making it to the best-dressed celeb list at his Met Gala debut, Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan has showcased his global dominance by topping the newly released power ranking chart by Hollywood Reporter. This shows him beating A-listers of the gala night, including panel member and F1 racing star Lewis Hamilton, event regulars like Rihanna, Zendaya, and even Indian Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh, who had previously secured a place in the best-dressed celebrity list. On the other hand, K-pop star BLACKPINK's Lisa, who was criticised for possibly wearing historic figure Rosa Parks on her custom Louis Vuitton bottom wear, surprisingly topped the power ranking in the female category, leaving her fellow band members Jennie and Rosé far behind. The event was themed 'Tailored for You,' with the dress code paying tribute to Black tailoring style, which is highlighted in the Costume Institute's exhibition 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'

The Met Gala, the annual haute couture fundraising event, is not just about the occasion itself but also about the buzz created by stars and brands on social media, which oversees the engagement generated. According to data from Launchmetrics, the event earned $1.3 billion in media impact value (MIV), and based on that, Pathaan star Shah Rukh Khan, who walked the red carpet in an all-black custom Sabyasachi Mukherjee outfit for the night, topped the list. The Bollywood star had already made history by being the first actor from the industry to walk the Anna Wintour-hosted gala. For the night, he was decked out in jewellery, including a giant K necklace referencing his king status, and carried a unique 18-karat gold walking stick with a Bengal tiger design. His Instagram post garnered over 5.3 million likes, contributing to his massive $19 million in MIV. In second place is Lewis Hamilton, who wore an all-white Wales Bonner outfit, earning $9.4M in MIV, far below SRK's. The third position went to singer Diljit Dosanjh with $7.3M in MIV, as he walked in Nepalese-American designer Prabal Gurung. Colman Domingo and Bad Bunny grabbed the fourth and fifth spots.

In the female category, K-pop superstar Lisa, who recently made her acting debut with HBO's White Lotus season 3, topped the list in her custom Louis Vuitton. Though Lisa, a Thai singer, caused quite a stir due to the controversy that overshadowed her gala debut, her dominance didn't go unnoticed. Her Instagram post about the outfit earned over 3.3 million likes, generating $21.3 million in MIV. The top five women also included Sarocha Chankimha in Valentino with $19.5 million in MIV, and Jennie from Blackpink, who posted multiple photos of her look, drawing almost 10 million likes, ending up with $17.6 million in MIV. Zendaya and Rihanna took the fourth and fifth spots with $14 million and $13 million in MIV, respectively. In the jewellery world, Cartier and Tiffany & Co. were the big winners, dressing over 30 stars each. When it comes to accessories, Christian Louboutin claimed the top spot with his shoes, earning $1.6 million in MIV.
Among the top 10 fashion brands for the night was Louis Vuitton, with the highest impact, earning $55.2 million in MIV. Valentino, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and Thom Browne followed the French luxury house. Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee also grabbed a spot at 6 with $20.2 million, followed by Miu Miu, Prada, Burberry, and Saint Laurent rounding off the top 10.

How the F1 soundtrack came together, with a little help from Lewis Hamilton
New York, Jun 12 (AP) The pinnacle of motorsport, Formula One, has its own music. The swift rhythms of a six-cylinder engine reaching 15,000 rpm; the ear-to-ear glissando of a spirited overtake in a DRS zone; the A-list concerts that follow most race weekends. So, when it came to making the summer tentpole 'F1', starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, the team behind the film knew its sound had to be massive, too. That comes courtesy a score by the many-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and a huge soundtrack releasing as 'F1 The Album' via Atlantic Records — the team behind the award-winning 'Barbie' album — the same day as the movie, June 27. The soundtrack features original music from Chris Stapleton, Myke Towers, Blackpink's Rose, Tate McRae and many more. The creative forces behind it all — film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski and Atlantic Records West Coast President Kevin Weaver — tell The Associated Press how 'F1 The Album' came together. In the years that it took to create 'F1', Kosinski had 'earmarked big music moments' across the movie's narrative, explains Weaver, who oversaw and produced the project. His team at Atlantic Records took those notes and came up with ideas for songs, artists and writers, collaborating with soundtrack executive producers Kosinski and Bruckheimer. They enlisted Atlantic artists, like Ed Sheeran and Rose, but also looked elsewhere. 'It's mostly, if not solely, about what the film needs,' Weaver says. 'It really kind of boils down to whose voice would sound best in these various moments... Who can accomplish what Joe and Jerry needed from a storytelling perspective?' And what they needed were big bespoke songs to meet the film's intensity and match its inclusion of huge classic rock songs, like Queen's 'We Will Rock You'. All the songs featured on 'F1 The Album' are originals, which is why Tate McRae's 'Sports Car,' despite its fitting name, is not on it; instead, she offered 'Just Keep Watching'. Atlantic, usually Weaver, would play the label's song choices against filmed sequences in the editing room, Bruckheimer explains. 'So, if there's a race and we need to end it with a song he'll play, you know, maybe 10 songs against that sequence and it's the best song that wins. It's not usually the song that we think is going to be the biggest hit or features the biggest artists,' Bruckheimer says. 'It's the one that works for a particular sequence.' 'F1 is such a global sport. I wanted the soundtrack of the film to reflect that,' Kosinski says. That meant tapping artists 'from all over the world to give it a feel that the sport really has.' Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, who consulted on the project, made sure that need for global inclusivity was clear from the start, says Kosinski. 'Sometimes here in Hollywood we can get a little myopic in terms of our cultural focus,' he says. 'And this sport, it is inspiring to me to just see how eclectic it is.' He would send Hamilton demos of the soundtrack and get his opinion: 'I sent him the Burna Boy track,' Kosinski remembers. 'Louis was like, 'This is going to be a giant hit.'' 'We were very intentional about genre and demographic,' Weaver adds. 'We have pop records. We have Afrobeat records. We have electronic records. We have country songs.' The result is a collection of 17 tracks with broad appeal — not unlike the lineup of a major summer music festival. 'It sounds amazing,' Bruckheimer says. 'The soundtrack blends perfectly in with every scene that we put the music against.' Artists on the 'F1' soundtrack found inspiration and participated in different ways. 'Sometimes it was bringing an artist in and showing them a scene, like Rose,' who then created to that, says Kosinski. Chris Stapleton did the same. Other artists were simply given a concept or an idea to inspire them and would record a track that would later be tailored to a specific scene. For Sheeran, Kosinski came up with 10 key phrases as lyrical prompts, words that 'identify Sonny Hayes,' the film's protagonist played by Pitt. Sheeran's song, 'Drive,' was written with John Mayer and Blake Slatkin 'specifically for the end title of the movie,' adds Weaver. 'It's kind of the culmination of the Brad Pitt character.' Other artists have deep ties to Formula One — like the DJ Tiësto, who has regularly performed at F1 grands prix across the globe as part of 'a long-standing relationship' with the motorsport, as he tells the AP. Atlantic Records asked if he'd like to pitch any songs for the movie — and he actually ended up in the film, portraying himself in a big Las Vegas nightclub scene. 'I hope I win an Oscar for this,' he jokes. 'I jumped right on it,' Tiesto says of the opportunity. 'Dance music and racing, there's a connection because they're both high energy. And with F1, it's a perfect combo and it brings people together from all over the world.' That's true for the Dutch DJ especially: His song for the soundtrack, 'OMG!,' features Missouri rapper Sexyy Red. 'She heard the song, and she really loved it and, yeah, she wanted to write lyrics for it,' he says. 'It was a really cool collaboration.' (AP) APA RB RB
