Talking about SRK, the “Badshah” of Bollywood on May 6 made his debut at the MET Gala.

Wearing a sharp ensemble by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Shah Rukh looked dapper in a floor-sweeping black trench coat layered over an unbuttoned shirt. He completed chunky jewellery including eye-popping diamond-studded pendants emblazoned with “K”.

To add to the drama, he carried a walking stick with a tiger-top, which was completely in sync with this year’s theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is inspired by Monica L Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, published in 2009.

It’s not my ‘space’ but u made me feel so comfortable…becos u, like me, believe…Style and Fashion…is just being who you are. And all of u made me feel like a ‘K’! (sic).”
