For the evening, the star of over 100 Bollywood films accessorised the look with multiple gold chains and pendants.

The highlight of the over-all look was a prominent sparking "K" dangling from the chain.

Shah Rukh debuting Met Gala with theme Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, was on point for the superstar as he admitted that he only wears black and white at major events.

While taking to press, the 59-year-old noted that he was very nervous before attending the prestigious event, noting, "I'm wondering if I can run away from this now."

Mukherjee was all praised for the Bollywood star as he added, "When you get a man like this on the red carpet, especially when it’s 'Black dandy,' representation is the most important thing."

"We wanted to represent Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan, and nobody else," the renowned designer shared.
