Shah Rukh Khan, the country vows to him as the King, because he is. The alchemist of emotion, who has transformed dialogues into poetry, his gestures still echo cultural reverberations, and shall echo to eternity. He taught us what happens when you possess an unquenchable fire to perform. And now, again, he has reinforced the moment as he is crowned the Global Style Icon. The Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan received his Global Style Icon Award at the first Dubai Mall Global Fashion Awards, which established him as an international entertainment star.
The award recognises Khan’s three-decade influence on global culture, style and entertainment, which was presented by Emaar Properties founder Mohamed Alabbar at the Armani Hotel. Industry observers called the event a cross-cultural red-carpet moment because it demonstrated the actor’s power to attract international viewers who moved beyond his film work.
The ceremony demonstrated how the 60-year-old actor built his career into a cultural movement that extends beyond his acting. His worldwide popularity grows as his latest accomplishments cement him as what fans call The Last Superstar.
Khan received multiple honours at the Joy Awards, which took place in Riyadh on January 17 2026, and impressed the audience as a presenter. His luxurious timepiece is worth more than ₹10 crore ($1.2 million), and his graceful movements made global news. Shah Rukh Khan became the first Indian actor to enter the Hurun India Billionaire Club in late 2025 after his net worth reached ₹12,490 crore ($1.4 billion).
Shah Rukh Khan’s ongoing global impact shows how Indian entertainment is expanding its presence across the international entertainment industry.
