Bollywood Stars Light Up NY Ahead Of Met Gala

NEW YORK, NY (ANI)-New York is abuzz as Bollywood royalty Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh descend on the city for the much-anticipated Met Gala 2025. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” honors the deep and enduring influence of Black culture on fashion.

Making her Met Gala debut, Kiara Advani touched down in the city to a warm welcome, complete with roses, chocolates, and a personalized cake. Her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra, later joined her in New York, sharing glimpses of his time in the city, including gym sessions and quiet moments of support as Kiara readies for the global spotlight.

Adding to the excitement, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh turned to Instagram to share his anticipation, asking fans for outfit suggestions and teasing a “memorable scene” at fashion’s biggest night.

Scheduled for May 5 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Gala will be co-chaired by Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, and Lewis Hamilton. The accompanying exhibit at the museum will dive deeper into the intersection of fashion and Black identity.

With these Indian stars set to walk the iconic Met steps, fans worldwide — from Mumbai to Manhattan — are eagerly waiting to see how they interpret this bold and meaningful theme. Their presence continues a growing tradition of Bollywood presence at the Met, following past appearances by Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra.
