Met gala 2025 Red carpet Live Updates: It’s a historic day for Indian fashion and cinema as Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra are set to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala in a few hours from now. The two global icons will represent what is being called India’s most prominent presence yet at the prestigious event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
SRK’s debut at the Met is already creating waves. He was spotted arriving in NYC with his manager Pooja Dadlani and is expected to wear a regal creation by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, marking a grand entry in quintessential Indian style. Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra, who has turned heads at the Met in Ralph Lauren, Dior, and Valentino in previous years, is returning for her fifth appearance. This year, she’s reportedly set to stun in Balmain with statement pieces from Bulgari. Whether Nick Jonas will walk beside her remains to be seen, but excitement is high.
Joining the power-packed Indian line-up is actress Kiara Advani, who will also be making her Met debut. The actress, currently expecting her first child with husband Sidharth Malhotra, teased her fans with a glimpse of a booklet titled The Met Gala. She is reportedly donning a dramatic ensemble by avant-garde designer Gaurav Gupta, promising a sculptural fashion moment. Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has been keeping things low-key but dropped a not-so-subtle Instagram hint: “First Time,” paired with an hourglass emoji and the track “Met Gala” by Gunna. Fans are hoping for a surprise moment on the steps.
