At the Met Gala 2026, many celebrities wore some of the finest outfits, but one that we could not stop ourselves from praising was that of debutant to the iconic event, Karan Johar. Filmmaker Karan Johar made his debut appearance at the Met Gala 2026, wearing a design inspired by the iconic artworks of Raja Ravi Verma.
“Framed in Eternity
Inspired by the art of Raja Ravi Varma.
Raja Ravi Varma felt right because his work does something I’ve always tried to do in cinema. He painted feelings,” filmmaker and producer Karan Johar captioned his Instagram post.
The Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director thanked Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan, appreciating the superstar and giving credit to him for playing a key role in the filmmaker’s life. He said that “Shah Rukh is such a large part of my career repertoire. I’ve done my first five films with him and he’s the reason I stand here today. So for him to have come last year and me this year, it’s like life feels like a complete circle”.
The King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, also attended the Met Gala last year, marking his debut in the iconic fashion event. This year, Karan Johar has made all the headlines with his extraordinary outfit that represents the culture and diversity of India.
