Shah Rukh Khan, for his much-awaited Met Gala debut, wore a floor-length coat made from luxurious Tasmanian superfine wool. It featured padded shoulders, wide lapels and bold black buttons. One side of the single-breasted coat featured a unique engraved design. Star-shaped Japanese horn buttons added a touch of artistic flair.
The superstar paired the coat with a matching crepe de chine silk V-neck shirt that brought a hint of sensual charm to the look. The relaxed fit of the shirt balanced out the structured coat perfectly. His superfine wool trousers matched the vibe. A pleated satin kamarbandh added a classy, old-school twist.

Shah Rukh Khan didn't hold back on accessories either. He rocked multi-layered junk jewellery and the highlight - a neck chain engraved with a bold "K", symbolising his iconic 'King' status. Cool black shades, chunky silver rings and a slick watch - a Patek Philippe worth a jaw-dropping Rs 21 crore - rounded off the look.

Sydney Sweeney becomes Republican icon after gun range video goes viral, ‘3000% wifey material'
A 2019 video of the Euphoria actress training at a gun range with Taran Tactical Innovations has resurfaced online, and it has been lighting up Instagram feeds. The timing? No coincidence. The firearms retailer reposted the clip over the weekend, edited alongside Sweeney's now-controversial American Eagle ad – a denim campaign that's been both praised and panned across the political spectrum. Sydney Sweeney's new American Eagle ad campaign has been garnering backlash for having racial undertones.(REUTERS) Her jeans are blue - and her shot's on point The original gun range video, captioned as 'training for a new project,' shows a focused Sweeney firing with precision - a stark contrast to her now-infamous American Eagle monologue that ends with the line: 'My jeans are blue.' The juxtaposition of clips reignited discourse around the actress, particularly among conservative fans who flooded the comments with declarations like: '3000% wifey material" 'Strong, self-thinking women are the sexiest!" 'Make America hot again 🇺🇸' Enter Donald Trump and the Republican revelation As if the online buzz weren't loud enough, former President Donald Trump weighed in after discovering Sweeney has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida since June 2024. 'She's a registered Republican?' he asked reporters. 'If Sydney Sweeney is a Republican, I think her ad is fantastic!' The 27-year-old hasn't responded directly to the backlash or the unexpected political praise, but she's clearly unfazed. On Saturday night, she hit up The GasLite karaoke bar in Santa Monica with Euphoria castmates Hunter Schafer and Maude Apatow - belting out 'What's Up' by 4 Non Blondes like nothing was brewing online. Jacob Elordi was also spotted at the venue. Caught in the Culture War - and Still Winning While her American Eagle ad drew backlash for what some critics called a 'racialized dog whistle,' the brand has stood by the campaign. And Sweeney? She's too busy living her best life - and apparently hitting bullseyes - to clap back. With Hollywood charm, right-wing appeal and now viral firepower, Sydney Sweeney just might be the most unexpected culture war icon of 2025.

Anupamaa actor Rupali Ganguly demands National Award for TV actors, hopes Smriti Irani's return can help: ‘We worked the hardest'
After National Film Awards were announced last week, there has been a lot of chatter around some of the winners — including Shah Rukh Khan as the Best Actor, The Kerala Story director Sudipto Sen, and even the Best Supporting Actress award to Urvashi for Christo Tomy's Malayalam film Ullozhukku. Now, television actor Rupali Ganguly, best known for her titular role in Anupamaa, has pointed out how there should be National Awards for the TV industry too. 'There are National Awards for everyone, from content creators to regional films. But there's nothing for TV artistes. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, others had the advantage of delaying their shooting schedules and not step out of their homes, but we kept working,' said Ganguly. In the interview to Viral Bhayani, she added, 'When a film star works continuously for two days, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop from 6 am to 6 pm during the pandemic. I request the government to consider us also. We work very hard. It'll be nice to have some validation.' Ganguly also pointed out how BJP member and former I&B Minister Smriti Irani's return to television can help accelerate the process of institutionalizing and organizing National Awards for the TV industry. 'I'm so glad that Smriti ji has come back. It's such a validation for a person of that stature to come back to the medium. It'll make a difference. It may help us go in that direction because we need National Awards for TV actors too,' added Ganguly. Over the past couple of weeks, fans of Anupamaa have been pitting Ganguly against Irani as the latter returns in the iconic role of Tulsi Virani in the reboot of Ekta Kapoor's seminal daily soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. On the day of the latter's premiere, channel StarPlus released a crossover promo in which Anupamaa is seen video calling Tulsi and welcoming her back to the small screen. Ekta also dismissed the comparison between Anupamaa and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. 'I felt that was in such bad taste. She [Rupali] is such a big star. Anupamaa the show, the creator Raajan (Shahi)… has done what nobody else could do in the last seven years. They will continue to be number 1. They should continue to be number 1,' Kapoor told Brut.

Key winners include Shah Rukh Khan for Jawan and Vikrant Massey for 12th Fail as the Best Actor, Rani Mukerji for Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway as the Best Actress, Uravashi as the Best Supporting Actress, and The Kerala Story director Sudipto Sen as the Best Director.

Deadheads hope to 'make America grateful again'
AN ARMY OF people in tie-dye descended on San Francisco. In the 1960s this would not have been remarkable. Young people thronged to the Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood in those days, tripping on LSD and fashioning a performance of their own disillusionment with America. But on August 1st in Golden Gate Park many of the hippies were getting on in years. Several men sporting rainbows or funky hats leaned on canes. They were there to celebrate 60 years of the Grateful Dead, a band formed in San Francisco that came to epitomise the counterculture of the '60s. 'We're Deadheads but we're not crazy people,' explains Mary Kay Williams, who travelled with her husband Greg from Pennsylvania. Greg chimes in: it's about 'making America grateful again'. Many of the Grateful Dead are, well, dead. Jerry Garcia, the band's beloved frontman and a hugely talented guitarist, died in 1995. So the trio of shows in Golden Gate Park were played by Dead & Company, which former band members created in 2015, adding a few younger musicians who can improvise as well as the old guard—and draw in new fans. 'I'm a millennial so I'm into John Mayer,' says Maria, one of three new moms hanging out in the VIP area, referring to the guitarist and singer-songwriter popular in his own right. The concerts are part of a plan from Daniel Lurie, the city's new wealthy philanthropist mayor, to use live entertainment to help fix San Francisco's brand, which has been tarred in recent years by public drug use and homelessness. Some of the city's buses were covered in psychedelic colours and flowers for the occasion. Not all drugs are shunned, however. Every other person at the show seemed to be pinching a fat joint. As the city's notorious fog settled over the park, billows of smoke thickened it. The shows also provide a way to compare the Dead's San Francisco to the city as it exists today. The tech elite who were perhaps once drawn to the city for its reputation for freethinking and disruption have helped create a world where everyone is staring at screens, transfixed by whatever X or Instagram post is going viral. The concert blended old and new. Patagonia vests, the sartorial choice of many techies, abounded. The Economist spotted at least one startup boss sauntering out of a private suite. Politics were inescapable. Deadheads grumbled about Donald Trump, whose presidency, they say, is antithetical to their 'be kind' ethos. Some counterculture scholars argue that Mr Trump's election can be tied to the turbulence of that era. 'Every single presidential election since the 1960s has been, in some way, a referendum on the '60s—its impact or its meaning,' says Nicholas Meriwether, executive director of the Grateful Dead Studies Association, an independent academic outfit devoted to 'advancing the scholarly study of the Grateful Dead and their associated contexts'. To the uninitiated, the show felt like a ghostly gathering fuelled by nostalgia and weed. But for older attendees, the music helped them take a long, strange trip back to their youth. LizAnn and Scarlet, who preferred to use aliases ('Doesn't everyone have one?'), met at a Grateful Dead show in 1982 and have been friends ever since. 'Jerry [Garcia] travels on an astral plane and takes all of us with him,' says Scarlet. 'It's awesome.'
