Bollywood stars attending the 2025 Met Gala: SRK, Kiara, and more

The excitement surrounding the Met Gala is reaching its annual high, as the fashion world awaits one of its most glamorous nights. However, the anticipation in India is especially intense this year, with several of Bollywood's brightest stars set to make an appearance at the 2025 Met Gala. From legends like Shah Rukh Khan to new-generation favourites like Kiara Advani, the event is shaping up to be a vibrant celebration of style, culture, and innovation.

The theme for this year's gala, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," focuses on the rich legacy of Black menswear. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute will highlight decades of influential fashion, from expressive colours and striking silhouettes to the fine detailing found in hats, canes, brooches, pocket squares, and more. Guests are encouraged to interpret the theme with creativity while honouring the trailblazers of Black fashion history.

Among the most anticipated attendees is Shah Rukh Khan, a global icon of Indian cinema. He is reportedly preparing to walk the red carpet in a specially designed Sabyasachi outfit — a sartorial moment that's expected to command global attention. 

Kiara Advani is also set to attend. Currently expecting her first child, she has been praised for her elegant maternity fashion, and her Met Gala debut promises to beautifully merge her personal journey with the high-fashion spectacle of the event.

Adding to the excitement, Diljit Dosanjh is rumoured to be on the guest list. Fresh off the international success of his "Dil-Luminati" tour, Diljit's appearance would be another step in his rise as a global cultural force. Known for his fearless fashion sense, fans are eager to see how he fuses his Punjabi heritage with the Gala's forward-thinking aesthetic.

Bollywood's impact at the Met Gala has been steadily growing over the years. In 2024, Alia Bhatt dazzled in a mint-green Sabyasachi saree, and in 2023, Priyanka Chopra turned heads in a black Valentino couture creation. Deepika Padukone made waves in 2019 with her unforgettable bubblegum-pink Zac Posen gown, cementing her place among the Met's fashion elite.

As the 2025 Met Gala approaches, it's evident that Indian cinema and style will once again make a strong impression on one of the world's grandest fashion stages. With a compelling mix of household names and emerging talents, this year's event promises to be a landmark moment for Bollywood on the global fashion map.
