What Would You Wear to the Met Gala? Desiqlo Has You Covered!
The 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, embraced the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." This theme celebrated Black dandyism and the evolution of Black fashion over three centuries, inspired by Monica L. Miller's book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
The accompanying exhibition, running from May 10 to October 26, 2025, delves into Black style through twelve thematic sections, including Ownership, Presence, Heritage, and Cool.
🇮🇳 Indian Celebrities Who Stole the Spotlight
🖤 Shah Rukh Khan
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made his Met Gala debut in a custom all-black ensemble by Sabyasachi. The outfit featured a floor-length Tasmanian superfine wool coat with monogrammed Japanese horn buttons, paired with a black crepe de chine shirt and tailored wool trousers. A pleated satin kamarbandh cinched the waist, adding structure to the layered look. Mr Khan looked like the King that he truly is!
🤰 Kiara Advani
Actress Kiara Advani showcased her baby bump in a custom Gaurav Gupta creation titled "Bravehearts." The black bodycon gown featured an antique gold breastplate adorned with ghungroos, symbolizing defiance, legacy, and new beginnings. We love how cute she looks!
👑 Diljit Dosanjh
Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh embraced his heritage in a custom Prabal Gurung ensemble. The ivory outfit featured intricate gold threadwork and was complemented by a turban, cape, and ceremonial sword. Diljit aimed to wear the historic Patiala Necklace but was unable to secure it due to its fragility. He did secure everyone's hearts though!
💎 Natasha Poonawalla
Philanthropist Natasha Poonawalla turned heads in a Manish Malhotra ensemble crafted from two vintage Parsi Gara saris. The outfit featured a fishtail skirt, a sharply tailored black Gara jacket with bold shoulders, and a sculptural lace cravat by Atelier Biser. A miniature Chanel pearl-trimmed box bag completed the regal look.
🤖 Mona Patel
Entrepreneur Mona Patel brought a futuristic flair to the red carpet in a custom Thom Browne tuxedo-inspired ensemble. She was accompanied by "Vector," a robotic dog developed at MIT, adorned with a 1000-carat diamond-studded leash. The ensemble reimagined classic tailoring with a modern twist.
🌸 Isha Ambani
Isha Ambani showcased Indian craftsmanship in a custom Anamika Khanna outfit that took over 15,000 hours to create. The ensemble featured a heavily embellished corset paired with black silk trousers and a regal cape. She accessorized with a vintage Cartier necklace, once owned by the Maharaja of Nawanagar, and now by her Mom!
🎭 Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Priyanka Chopra Jonas returned to the Met Gala in a black-and-white polka-dotted Balmain suit, featuring strong shoulders and a cinched waist. She paired the outfit with a 241-carat emerald necklace from Bulgari's Polychroma collection, the largest ever set by the brand.
