Amul celebrates Shah Rukh Khan aka 'India's Biggest Galakaar' after Met debut
Shah Rukh Khan made his Met Gala debut on May 5. The superstar, dressed in an all-black Sabyasachi outfit, captivated fans worldwide with his grand debut. Looks like Amul is also a fan of his, as the dairy brand paid debut to the superstar with their creative illustration. They shared the tribute on Instagram. The post depicted a cartoon version of SRK in his Met Gala attire, holding a buttered slice of bread and his Bengal Tiger Cane. The caption read, "India's Biggest Galakaar!" with the tagline "Always in fashion." Check out the post here: Shah Rukh Khan's ensemble featured a floor-length coat made from luxurious Tasmanian superfine wool and superfine wool trousers. A pleated satin kamarbandh added a classic touch to his look. The global star's accessories also drew attention, particularly a neck chain engraved with a bold "K," symbolising his "King" status. He completed his look with multi-layered jewellery, cool black shades, and chunky silver rings. He also struck his signature pose. The actor also shared a post expressing gratitude to designer Sabyasachi and his team for making him pull this off something that was not his 'space'. Speaking to TIME about his appearance, SRK said, "It's not just simple entertainment. I am a memory from home, though I am not a memory. The diaspora made me the star I am. It is important to represent my countrymen and people. India is taking a stand in a lot of things, and it's important to have our presence felt. I liked what it (the theme) 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." On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his upcoming film "King," where he will star alongside his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film also features Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma in significant roles.

India Has A Mo-Met At A Superfine Gala: The Trends We Spotted On The Blue Carpet
The 2025 Met Gala was a masterful blend of historical homage and contemporary innovation, with attendees and designers using fashion as a medium to celebrate Black dandyism, cultural pride, and identity fluidity. This year's theme at the Met was 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' with the accompanying dress code titled 'Tailored for You'. This theme honoured and explored the cultural, historical, and sartorial significance of Black dandyism - a style and identity rooted in Black menswear and the art of tailoring over the past three centuries. The theme is also a way of paying homage to the late fashion visionary, journalist and Anna Wintour's friend, André Leon Talley. India was front and centre on the Met carpet this year with the biggest Indian name - Shah Rukh Khan - stealing a lot of the spotlight. A Bengal Tiger Cane added magic to the Met. There was Diljit Dosanjh in white, a step further towards realising his motto of global domination. Then there was Kiara Advani, who showed up in a breathtaking Gaurav Gupta ensemble, with her baby bump out there and how! Natasha Poonawalla, a regular at the Met, got fashion designer Manish Malhotra to craft an outfit for her from vintage Parsi sarees. Manish himself made his Met debut this year, looking sharp in a black structured sherwani. Now, while India sparkled, shone and took the whole damn spotlight, the Met had more. All the looks from the Met focused on the theme (of course) and on storytelling through embroidery, sculptural hair, and symbolic accessories. But what trends did we spot on the blue carpet? Here's a lowdown. Bold Tailoring With A Twist At a glance, the Met's many attendees embraced impeccably tailored suits and dresses with unexpected elements - oversized shoulders, asymmetrical cuts, and vivid colours - reinventing classic menswear and womenswear with modern flair. Colman Domingo wore a grey pinstripe Valentino suit with a huge rose brooch but here's the twist – it had a dramatic blue cape with extravagant embroidery. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Valentino (@maisonvalentino) Indian superstar Shah Rukh Khan also wore a black suit (but shirtless) and a waistcoat, all designed by ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. He accessorised it with a statement and customised neckpiece. Damson Idris also made a dramatic entry on the daffodil-decked blue carpet, wearing an embroidered helmet and a car racing suit. But when attendants pulled his suit apart, it revealed another, tailored crimson red suit underneath. Accessories That Tell A Story Oversized hats, walking sticks, leather gloves, and chunky jewellery elevated many looks. But some pieces left us awestruck because of their story. When Diljit Dosanjh made his debut at the Gala, we all knew it would be a look to remember. The singer turned into a Maharaja (quite literally) in Prabal Gurung. However, he added layers of emerald and pearl jewellery, ornate rings, and brooches as a tribute to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, who was known for his grandeur. His cape had a map of Punjab and letters from the Gurmukhi script, all channelling his Punjabi heritage. Soon-to-be mum Kiara Advani also wore an accessory designed by Gaurav Gupta that paid homage to motherhood in minute detailing. She donned a golden breastplate, with a golden thread attached to a smaller plate - the thread representing the umbilical cord. The outfit was titled "Braveheart" - with a Mother Heart and a Baby Heart joined by a gold umbilical cord. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DietSabya® (@dietsabya) No Pants? Don't Care The art of wearing a bodysuit as an ensemble is all around in 2025. The trend began somewhere around Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and Sabrina Carpenter's musical tour. This trend was at the Gala as well. Several stars including Sabrina herself, Doja Cat, and Lisa were seen wearing structured bodysuits as ensembles. 🚨| Sabrina Carpenter stuns at the 2025 #MetGala! — Short n' Sweet Tour (@ShortnSweetTour) May 5, 2025 Solid Colours For The Win The Met carpet this year saw many attendees rocking (and not quite rocking) solid colours, with all-white outfits spotted the most. This includes Zendaya's all-white look, the legendary Diana Ross's all-white gown with a long trail, and not to forget Lewis Hamilton in all white. This year's colour, baby blue, was also spotted on the carpet with Anna Wintour wearing a baby blue gown. Capes On The Carpet Since this year's theme took inspiration from André Leon Talley, who was known for his capes more than anything else, this year's outfits saw capes flying around everywhere on the carpet. This includes singer Teyana Taylor's iconic ruby red, larger-than-life zoot suit-inspired cape that is going viral on Instagram. Diljit Dosanjh's cape featured inscription from the Gurmukhi script and a map of Punjab in gold, quite a stunner on the blue carpet. Girls (And Boys) Like To Swoop As usual, beauty trends stole some of the spotlight—and this time, it was all about swoops. While there's always a standout look each year—be it bold lashes or dramatic veils—this time, it was all about the swoop. THE FRONT THE BACK — Dua Lipa Brasil (@dualipabrasil) May 5, 2025 Inspired by the night's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which celebrated sharp tailoring and nods to classic masculinity, hairstylists took a stylish detour to the early 1900s, bringing back the drama of finger waves and polished swoops. Celebs across the board—men and women alike—turned up with artfully placed strands swept across their foreheads, crafted with precision and plenty of styling gel. Whether it was a single swirl or a series of face-framing lines, the swoop was the standout. Stars like Bad Bunny, Coco Jones, Dua Lipa and Simone Biles embraced the look confidently. Gender Fluidity In Tailoring And Silhouettes Like every year, cross-dressing and breaking the norms of dressing were evident on the Met carpet this year too. However, this year's theme 'Tailored For You' further encouraged breaking down gender norms. Many female attendees were seen wearing structured coats and vice versa. Let's take the White Lotus stars for instance. For his Met debut, Walton Goggins wore a flowing black inside-out skirt designed by Thom Browne, along with a white shirt and black tie (glad it was not a Hawaiian shirt). Meanwhile, Aimee Lou Wood showed up on the carpet looking incredible in a deconstructed suit. Talk about cross-dressing at its best! All in all, trends might come and go, but we have to remember Met Gala 2025 as it was - a masterful blend of historical homage and contemporary innovation. And King Khan, of course.
