Wearing a crystal-studded pendant shaped as the letter ‘K’ in one of the necklaces around his neck, in a nod to his nickname ‘King Khan’, and a dandy cane, the actor blew kisses and struck his signature arms-wide-open pose on the blue carpet of the starry event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on Monday night.
“Shah Rukh Khan is one of the greatest superstars in the world. A cinematic hero, his blockbuster performances and leading-man charisma have created a legendary international fan following.
“My interpretation of the Black Dandy is demonstrating his super stardom on a global stage. Dressed in classic menswear with the maximalist flourish of Sabyasachi, Shah Rukh Khan is a magician, superstar, and icon. Period,” the designer said in a statement shared on his brand’s official Instagram page.
For his first appearance at the Met ball, Shah Rukh Khan wore a floor-length elongated coat in Tasmanian superfine wool with monogrammed, Japanese horn buttons.
“The coat is hand canvassed, single breasted with a peak collar and wide lapels. Paired with a crepe de chine silk shirt and tailored superfine wool trousers. A pleated satin kamarbandh completes this bespoke look,” the designer further said.
She shared two Instagram Stories with the logo of Sabyasachi’s label with “King Khan” and “King Khan. Bengal Tiger” as captions.
