The Met Gala 2025 may have been about fashion, but for Bollywood fans, it turned into something far more thrilling, a nostalgic ride into cinematic history. The red carpet saw a surprising twist when Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, two of the industry’s most talked-about former co-stars and rumored exes, made waves with their stunning appearances, sparking a frenzy of wild theories and fan excitement online.

Shah Rukh Khan, marking his much-awaited Met Gala debut, arrived in an all-black tailored ensemble that screamed royalty and mystery. Adding to the flair was a bold walking stick engraved with a Bengal Tiger motif, an accessory that fans quickly dubbed “Don-style.” His regal presence and signature swagger turned heads, setting social media on fire.

On the other side of the carpet, Priyanka Chopra Jonas returned for her fifth Met Gala appearance, this time hand-in-hand with husband Nick Jonas. She embraced the theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” in a stunning polka-dotted vintage-inspired gown, complete with a detachable train and a dramatic outer coat she shed on the Met steps. With each layer she removed, the drama built, exactly the kind of fashion moment fans live for.

But what truly sent fans into overdrive was how eerily the two stars’ looks seemed to mirror their characters from the 2006 hit film Don. While they didn’t pose together, the resemblance to Don and Roma’s style was uncanny. Social media exploded with comments like “Don and Roma are back on a mission” and “Don & Roma take over the Met Gala!”

The echoes of their past, both on and off-screen, stirred up even more speculation. From their infamous fallout to rumored tensions, fans couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild. Some even joked that the Met Gala was secretly the setting for the sequel fans never got.

Regardless of what’s true, one thing is certain: Shah Rukh and Priyanka delivered style, drama, and a heavy dose of nostalgia.
