Fashion’s biggest night — the Met Gala — returns on Monday (May 5), held annually on the first Monday of May. The high-profile fundraising event marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Diljit Dosanjh hit the Met Gala steps in a look inspired by Sir Bhupinder Singh, the extravagant Maharaja of Patiala. Styled by Abhilasha Devnani and designed by Prabal Gurung, his ivory and gold sherwani, cape, and pants echoed the opulence of the 1920s ruler. Though Devnani hoped to borrow the maharaja’s famed 1,000-carat Cartier necklace, now housed in a museum, she instead enlisted Golecha’s to create custom jewelry, including a turban brooch
Shah Rukh Khan also debuted on the Met Gala red carpet. Ahead of his appearance he spoke about making history at the Met, Shah Rukh Khan said, “I don’t know about history, but I am extremely nervous and excited. Sabyasachi has convinced me to come here. I have not done too many red carpets. I’m very shy. For me, it’s the first time. For me, the most exciting thing is that I have little kids who are very excited for the Met. I don’t know If I would have come on my own. When Sabyasachi invited me, they went, ‘wow!’”
Kiara Advani, expecting her first child with Sidharth Malhotra, made a striking Met Gala debut in a custom Gaurav Gupta gown. The sculptural piece, titled “Bravehearts”, featured an antique gold breastplate with ghungroos and crystals, symbolising motherhood through two linked heart forms — Mother and Baby — connected by a chain umbilical cord.
What is this year’s theme?
The 2025 Met Gala theme is “Tailored for You”, aligning with the Costume Institute’s exhibit titled “Superfine.” The dress code challenges attendees to interpret the elegance of dandyism. The Met cited inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.”
