Fans go gaga over SRK and Sabyasachi's collaboration

It is about time that the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, dons the regal attire and walks the stumptuous red carpet of the MET Gala - and the internet has been wild after the speculations that the legendary actor is making his debut in the jaw-droppingly glorious designs by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, are confirmed.

It's Official!

In an Instagram post on Sunday, April 27, by the popular account, Diet Sabya, they confirmed that India’s undisputed generational superstar will be wearing Sabyasachi, India’s biggest luxury brand, in May, for New York’s spectacular fashion night.
In the post, the first picture of Khan can be recognised from his role in ‘Om Shanti Om,’ where it read, “Shah Rukh + Sabya Met Confirmed.” The second picture confirmed the speculations, where they said, “National headlines, Threads in meltdown, entertainment sites foaming at the mouth, Twitter frenzy et al. Time to shut it down lol. We at DietSabya can confirm: yes, that is indeed SRK - India's undisputed generational superstar - making his Met Gala debut in May 2025, wearing Sabyasachi (India's biggest luxury brand). But wait, was there ever a doubt? Are we excited...or? Catch you on the carpet."

When Diet Sabya kept the internet guessing...

Previously, Diet Sabya posted a little guessing game that caused a storm on the internet, making them pull their hair in frustration. “STOP THE PRESSES!!! The impossible just happened! Two titans of their craft – the greatest Bollywood superstar and the biggest designer of our generation – are joining forces for their MET Gala 2025 debut. And let's be real, this is HUGE? Monumental baby!! We're talking HISTORY in the making. This Bollywood icon is about to become the first Indian man to strut his ‘dandy’ on the Met carpet. Let the guessing games begin,” they posted on April 10, 2025.

The fans did get frenzied

The comments under the post suggest that Khan’s collaboration has made his fans overwhelmed with joy. One comment read, “NO SHUT UP I CANNOT TAKE THIS. HOW WILL I SURVIVE IT?? PLEASE I WILL DIE” Another user expressed, “SRK dripping in Sabya jewelry is what we need” A third merely stated the facts, “SRK on the MET Gala is long overdue”

What is the theme of the MET Gala?

Under the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ the 18th-century cultural phenomenon of eccentricity and redefinition, Black Dandyism, is going to be celebrated in the MET Gala 2025. It is inspired by the professor and head of Africana Studies at Barnard College, Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book ‘Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.’
