Internet goes wild after seeing Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s MET Gala debut

And then came the look. In tune with this year¡¯s theme¡ªSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style¡ªSRK pulled up in a pitch-black Sabyasachi masterpiece that redefined power dressing. No shirt, no problem. The Badshah went bold with stacked gold chains, a dramatic brooch, messy-cool hair, and blackout shades. He looked like a desi Bond villain who moonlights as a heart-throb. And we are so here for it.

The pi¨¨ce de r¨¦sistance? That letter 'K' pendant hanging off his neck. Subtle? Maybe. Iconic? Absolutely. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with memes, edits, and pure hysteria. One fan even posted, ¡°This man just dropped a look that cured my seasonal depression.¡±

Shah Rukh Khan officially becomes the first Indian male actor to walk the Met Gala carpet

This moment is more than just fashion¡ªit is history. Shah Rukh Khan is officially the first Indian male actor to walk the Met Gala carpet. Alongside him, India flexed its fashion muscle with Manish Malhotra, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh also slaying the night away. But it was SRK who got the internet on its knees.

Whether you love him for DDLJ, Pathaan, or just that dimpled smile¡ªone thing is clear. Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s Met Gala debut is not just a look; it is a cultural reset.

And as one fan said (shaking, crying, throwing dupatta), ¡°This was our Super Bowl.¡±
