The event, an annual fundraising affair for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, featured celebrities who were dressed as per the theme of this year’s edition: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”
Stars from film, music, and fashion converged at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States, on Tuesday (May 6), for the Met Gala, dubbed as ‘fashion’s biggest night out.’ The event, set to raise funds for the Costume Institute, grabbed the attention of viewers all around the world, but this year’s edition was particularly special to India as some of its biggest stars made stunning appearances at the blue carpet.
The event undoubtedly belonged to the ‘Baadshah of Bollywood,’ superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who made a grand debut to become the first-ever Indian male actor to attend the Met. One of the biggest living icons of Indian cinema, Khan dazzled on the Met carpet in a sublime black suit with gold accessories, a walking cane, a brooch and a long pendant bearing the letter K — for King Khan. Khan’s outfit was crafted by ace Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who also joined Khan on the blue carpet.
