The brief exchange was part of his historic debut at the fashion event, making him the first Indian male actor to walk the Met Gala red carpet. Despite being one of the most recognisable names in global cinema, SRK approached the moment with humility, joking that he felt “nervous and excited” to be at the iconic venue.

Dressed in a striking black ensemble by renowned designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Shah Rukh embodied the Met’s 2025 theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and dress code, “Tailored for You.” His look featured a floor-length coat in Tasmanian superfine wool with monogrammed Japanese horn buttons, paired with a Bengal Tiger Head Cane crafted in 18k gold and encrusted with tourmalines, sapphires, and diamonds.

In another moment, SRK was seen chatting with Vogue correspondents, who asked him how it felt to “make history.” The actor replied modestly, giving full credit to Sabyasachi, who stood beside him: “He convinced me to come.” He also mentioned how comfortable and confident the outfit made him feel, noting he usually sticks to black and white.
