As fashion fever builds ahead of the Met Gala 2025, two of India’s most iconic names—Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Diljit Dosanjh—are making waves in their own signature styles. While celebrated designer Sabyasachi dropped a tantalizing hint about Shah Rukh Khan’s possible grand return to the fashion spotlight, singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh stole hearts and laughs online with his witty, Punjabi-flavored take on the event’s often perplexing fashion rules.
The buzz began when Sabyasachi, known globally for merging Indian tradition with modern couture, shared a cryptic but stylish update on his social media. While he didn’t explicitly name SRK, the clues were hard to miss. The designer posted a behind-the-scenes glimpse of an opulent outfit, accompanied by a roaring lion emoji and the words: “He’s back, and this time—he’s going to set the carpet on fire.” Fans and fashion-watchers were quick to connect the dots, speculating that none other than Shah Rukh Khan might be donning a bold new Sabyasachi ensemble, possibly for an international fashion appearance—or a major upcoming photoshoot.
The king of Bollywood has been known to keep a low profile at fashion-centric events, but whispers in the industry suggest that 2025 might see a style-forward SRK moment like never before, especially if Sabyasachi is styling it. While nothing is confirmed yet, the designer’s mysterious tease has certainly set fans and fashion lovers buzzing with anticipation.
Meanwhile, over on the fun side of the internet, Diljit Dosanjh, who has earned global recognition not only for his music but also his sharp style and humor, delivered an entirely different kind of Met Gala content. In his unmistakable Punjabi swagger, the singer poked fun at the elaborate dress codes and the often over-the-top fashion statements seen at the iconic event.
Taking to Instagram, Diljit shared a video skit where he jokingly explains the Met Gala rules to a “desi” audience—complete with mock translations and hilarious interpretations of high-fashion jargon. “Kehnde ne, jinna wadda gala, ohna vaddiyan confusionan (The bigger the event, the bigger the confusions),” he quipped in the video, earning laughs and applause from followers. His comedic commentary struck a relatable chord with fans who find the Met Gala’s avant-garde themes both fascinating and absurd.
The contrast between Sabyasachi’s high fashion mystique and Diljit’s comic deconstruction of the same world perfectly captures the vibrant duality of India’s place on the global fashion map—one where elegance and humor co-exist seamlessly.
Whether SRK actually appears in a grand Sabyasachi creation at the Met Gala or another major red carpet, and whether Diljit gets invited next year to bring his satire live to the steps of the Met, one thing is clear—India’s stars know how to own the global spotlight, in style and with a smile.
