Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been named one of the Most Stylish People of 2025 by the New York Times. This honor comes after his first appearance at the Met Gala in May 2025, where he made a stunning global fashion statement.
SRK, who has worked in Indian cinema for over 32 years and starred in more than 100 films, is loved worldwide. Fans often call him an “emotion,” and in many countries, people know India because of Shah Rukh Khan. His place on the NYT list is another milestone in his legendary career.
At the Met Gala, SRK wore a custom outfit by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. His look included a floor-length coat made of Tasmanian superfine wool with Japanese horn buttons. He paired it with a silk shirt, tailored wool trousers, and a pleated satin kamarbandh. The outfit was completed with a custom stack of accessories and a Bengal Tiger Head Cane made of 18k gold with diamonds and gemstones.
Sabyasachi described this style as “Black Dandy,” combining classic menswear with luxurious details. He praised Shah Rukh Khan as a global superstar whose charisma and presence make him a true fashion icon.
Before attending the Met Gala, SRK admitted to NYT reporter Guy Trebay that he felt nervous. He said, “I’ve never been nervous like this,” and even joked about running away. However, he walked the red carpet confidently, impressing fans and the fashion world alike.
The NYT list features 67 stylish personalities from around the world, including Jennifer Lawrence, Nicole Scherzinger, ASAP Rocky, Vivian Wilson, and Noah Wyle. SRK’s inclusion highlights not only his personal style but also India’s growing influence in global fashion.
This recognition celebrates SRK’s unique style, charm, and international appeal. His Met Gala appearance showed that Bollywood stars can shine on the world stage. With this honor, Shah Rukh Khan continues to be celebrated as a superstar, style icon, and global ambassador for Indian cinema and fashion.
