If 2025 proved anything, it's that Indian celebrities are no longer just attendees on the world's biggest fashion stages, they are central to the narrative. Across red carpets, fashion weeks and cultural showcases, they brought their A-game. Style this year became a language of identity, craftsmanship and quiet power. Whether through heritage-rooted couture or sharp modern tailoring, these looks captured a moment where Indian presence felt assured, intentional and impossible to ignore. Shah Rukh Khan When Shah Rukh Khan finally stepped onto the Met Gala carpet, it felt less like a debut and more like an inevitability fulfilled. Dressed in a custom creation by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the actor embraced the evening's theme, Tailored For You, through restraint rather than spectacle. His floor-length superfine wool coat, sharply cut yet fluid, carried an old-world authority, while an open silk shirt beneath lent ease and sensuality. What elevated the look were its details: talismanic chains, a jewelled brooch and an 18k gold cane. These elements nod to dandyism without theatrical excess. The ensemble subtly bridged Black and Indian sartorial histories, allowing Khan's persona to remain the focal point. It was a reminder that true style doesn't shout; it commands attention by simply existing. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's return to the L'Oréal Paris runway reaffirmed her singular status globally. Wearing a reimagined sherwani by Manish Malhotra, she blurred the lines between masculine heritage dressing and couture sensuality. The indigo silhouette which was sculpted, sharp and studded with thousands of diamonds, moved with quiet authority as she opened the show. Diamond-encrusted cuffs, cascading embellishments down the back and animal brooches transformed the ensemble into wearable opulence. Paired with her signature red lip and effortless runway poise, the moment felt less like a comeback and more like a reminder: some icons never leave, they simply return when the world is ready again. Deepika Padukone At the LVMH Prize 2025 finale, Deepika Padukone stepped into her evolving role not just as a Louis Vuitton ambassador, but as a tastemaker shaping fashion's future. Her look highlighted an oversized printed shirt layered over shimmering, fringe-detailed skirts. This played with texture, movement and proportion. The molten hues, relaxed tailoring and sharp accessories spoke to Louis Vuitton's ongoing dialogue between structure and fluidity. Minimal jewellery, bronzed beauty and a high bun completed a look that felt modern without being forced. It was fashion that understood the balance between authority and ease. Diljit Dosanjh Diljit Dosanjh's Met Gala appearance was less a fashion moment and more a cultural statement. Wearing a custom Prabal Gurung sherwani, the artist brought Punjabi identity to one of fashion's most exclusive spaces. He did this unapologetically and with pride. An ivory-and-gold ensemble paired with a dramatic cape embroidered with Punjab's map spoke of lineage and legacy. Jewelled turbans, layered diamonds inspired by the Patiala necklace, and a lion-headed kirpan replaced traditional dandy accessories with symbols of strength and faith. In doing so, Dosanjh didn't adapt to the Met Gala, he expanded the vocabulary of the theme Dandyism. Janhvi Kapoor For her Cannes debut, Janhvi Kapoor chose softness over spectacle and the result was quietly arresting. Wearing a tissue corset and skirt by Tarun Tahiliani, crafted from handwoven Benarasi fabric, she presented Indian modernity through texture and technique. The blush-toned ensemble flowed into a dramatic train, while pearl layers and delicate florals added a nostalgic touch. Sculpted yet ethereal, the look balanced youthful romance with couture discipline, marking Kapoor's arrival as a global red carpet contender. Kiara Advani Kiara Advani made history at the Met Gala as the first pregnant Indian actor to walk the steps and did so with grace and meaning. Her Gaurav Gupta creation, titled Bravehearts, centred on a sculpted gold breastplate symbolising motherhood and transformation. A flowing monochrome train, symbolic jewellery and softly pinned-back hair kept the focus on storytelling rather than excess. The look didn't chase drama. It embodied it, redefining what strength and elegance can look like in moments of personal change. A lovely nod to motherhood. Ananya Panday Ananya Panday's appointment as Chanel's first Indian ambassador marked a generational shift. Her appearances with the maison were all about modern ease. From Paris to Lake Como she embraced lightness and femininity. Twirly dresses, soft tailoring and classic accessories reflected a Gen-Z approach to luxury: relaxed, intuitive and aspirational without intimidation. Her style felt lived-in rather than styled, reinforcing why Chanel's bet on Panday feels timely and forward-looking. Priyanka Chopra Jonas Priyanka Chopra Jonas' India return this year was anchored i
