Karan Johar is all set to make a massive splash at the Met Gala 2026 in New York, and the celebrated filmmaker says this global appearance feels like a beautiful full-circle moment in his career. Speaking at the Empire State Building recently, Karan opened up about his deep-rooted connection with the world of style.

Not many remember that Karan actually started his journey as a costume designer at the young age of 22 before finding his true calling in directing and producing films. His love for fashion began even earlier when he was just a 12-year-old hunting down rare copies of Vogue in tiny local shops. For this year's Met Gala, where the theme celebrates fashion as an art form, Karan is proudly representing India’s rich cultural heritage on one of the biggest global stages.

His much-anticipated outfit for the night has been crafted by none other than his best friend and legendary designer Manish Malhotra. Having collaborated on films for decades, this Met Gala team-up is deeply emotional for both of them. Aside from making a major fashion statement on the red carpet, Karan has one adorable personal goal for the evening: to grab a quick selfie with pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter. It turns out his nine-year-old daughter Roohi is a huge fan, and Karan is determined to bring home the ultimate gift.
