Shah Rukh Khan & Priyanka Chopra’s MET Gala 2025 Looks Rekindle 2007 Vibes, Fans Spot Hidden Connection

New York/Mumbai: In a moment that sent fans into a nostalgic whirlwind, Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas made heads turn at the prestigious MET Gala 2025 on Tuesday. What began as admiration for their individual fashion statements quickly turned into an internet storm when netizens drew parallels between their latest looks and an event from nearly two decades ago.

Shah Rukh Khan, who created history by becoming the first Indian male actor to walk the MET Gala red carpet, sported a custom black ensemble by ace designer Sabyasachi, exuding royalty with layered jewellery, a signature Bengal Tiger walking stick, and a dramatic diamond-studded ‘K’ pendant—symbolising his fan-bestowed title “King.” Complementing his look was a bold necklace featuring his initials “SRK.”

Priyanka Chopra Jonas, a MET Gala veteran attending for the fifth time, chose a stunning white halter-neck gown by Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing, dotted with black polka prints. She elevated her look with a dramatic oversized black hat and walked in style with husband Nick Jonas, who coordinated in a matching monochrome ensemble.

While their fashion choices stood out individually, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but connect the dots—literally and figuratively. Social media platforms lit up with side-by-side comparisons of their MET Gala 2025 outfits with the ones they wore at a 2007 polo match in Delhi, where SRK donned a black suit and Priyanka was seen in a white dress with polka dots. The resemblance, though subtle, was enough to stir fans' imaginations.

“SRK & Priyanka were definitely on theme for each other. Is this some kind of code language only they understand?” asked one Reddit user. “Blast from the past on another level,” commented another. Some even joked, “This is the only logical reason I’m willing to accept for his look.”

Their joint appearance has reignited chatter about their on-screen chemistry and past rumours. The duo first shared screen space in ‘Don’ (2006) and reunited in ‘Don 2’ (2011), with PeeCee also making special appearances in SRK’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ and ‘Billu’. Their charismatic pairing has remained a fan favourite over the years.

As MET Gala 2025 continues to dominate fashion and pop culture conversations, this unexpected “fashion déjà vu” moment has certainly added a touch of Bollywood-style drama to the grand event.
