Met Gala 2025: SRK Dazzles, A Made-In-Kerala Carpet, and Diljit Dosanjh Using AI

The 2025 Met Gala was a cultural reset in many ways, and India showed up like never before. From a made-in-Kerala carpet stealing the spotlight, Diljit Dosanjh using AI to chat with Shakira, Priyanka Chopra dazzling in a diamond-studded dress, Sidharth Malhotra supporting Kiara Advani's debut carpet, to Kajol having the last laugh—the blue carpet may have rolled out in New York, but the heartbeat was unmistakably Indian.

Diljit Dosanjh using AI to talk to Shakira

Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh was spotted hanging out with none other than Shakira, along with Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, and also Nicole Scherzinger and Tessa Thompson at the exclusive after-party. In a now-viral clip shared by Scherzinger, fans got a behind-the-scenes peek at Shakira’s gown being fixed mid-ride when she noticed Diljit quietly typing away on his phone. "What are you doing?" she asked. His reply? A humble, "I am learning English." The Internet just couldn’t get enough.

Priyanka Chopra Stuns in Diamonds at Met Gala 2025 After Party, Nick Jonas Plays Perfect Plus-One

After shutting down the Met Gala red carpet in vintage-inspired Balmain, Priyanka Chopra Jonas turned heads again at the after party in a diamond mini-dress. With husband Nick Jonas sharply suited in grey and guiding her through screaming fans to their car, the couple gave paparazzi the picture-perfect moment of the night. Earlier, the couple shared sweet parenting anecdotes about daughter Malti Marie, with Jonas joking, "Malti is our best duet" when asked about a future music collaboration.

A Made-In-Kerala Carpet Stuns at Met Gala 2025 — Again!

Kerala stole the spotlight at the Met Gala 2025, again, thanks to a breathtaking 63,000-square-foot royal blue carpet by Neytt by Extraweave. For the third year running, the fashion world's biggest night was literally grounded in Indian craftsmanship.

Woven in Alleppey with biodegradable sisal fibres sourced from Madagascar, the carpet blended elegance with sustainability, surrounded by golden daffodils and cascading floral barricades. Founded in 1917, Neytt proved that true luxury is rooted in heritage — and this year, that heritage came wrapped in blue and bloomed from Kerala.

Kiara Advani was one of the Most Impactful stars at the Met Gala 2025

In a night defined by couture and celebrity power, it wasn’t Rihanna’s surprise pregnancy reveal or Zendaya’s much-hyped return that stole the crown — it was Bollywood’s own Kiara Advani. Making her Met Gala debut while visibly pregnant, Advani soared past global icons to become the most impactful celebrity at the event, according to social media analytics firm Lefty.

With an earned media value (EMV) of $15.3 million, she topped the platform’s annual ‘Top Key Voices’ list, outshining even Rihanna. Her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra, also drew significant attention. Though he didn't walk the carpet, his chivalrous support for his wife was evident. The duo was joined by her childhood friend and billionaire Isha Ambani, who looked regal in an Anamika Khanna ensemble.

Kajol Trolls SRK’s Met Gala Look with Blinged-Out Instagram Post

Kajol playfully teased longtime friend Shah Rukh Khan’s much-talked-about red carpet look. SRK’s appearance, layered with bold silver jewellery and a standout “K” pendant, sparked conversation online. Taking to Instagram, Kajol posted her own take: a series of pictures where she replicated his stacked silver aesthetic, donning chunky bangles, ear cuffs, a silver nose ring and bold finger rings — all paired with a sharp black blazer reminiscent of SRK’s ensemble. Captioning it with, “Hmm, spot the difference @iamsrk #allaboutthebling #greatminds,” she gave fans a laugh while paying stylish tribute to her DDLJ co-star.

They truly brought heart, humour and high style to fashion’s biggest night, proving the global red carpet now runs straight through India.
