When Diljit Dosanjh arrived at the Met Gala 2025, he didn’t just show up—he owned it. Dressed in a custom ivory and gold sherwani by Prabal Gurung, the Punjabi singer and global icon made his debut count. With his signature calm confidence and a diamond-studded turban, Diljit didn’t just walk the carpet—he walked in history.
From head to toe, Diljit wore his culture like a crown. The sherwani, paired with a traditional turban, was topped off by a sweeping cape embroidered with the map of Punjab—yes, a literal map stitched in gold. And just when you thought he couldn’t get more regal, he added a layered diamond necklace inspired by the iconic Patiala necklace, designed by Golecha’s Jewels.
And let’s talk about that turban. Feathered, bedazzled, and wrapped with care—it was a nod to heritage and high fashion in perfect harmony.
Who needs a walking stick when you can carry a lion-headed, jewel-studded kirpan? Dosanjh swapped the traditional dandy cane for a fierce, symbolic accessory that screamed both royalty and rebellion. It wasn’t just a prop—it was a message: identity matters, and style can speak louder than words.
Diljit didn’t hold back on the bling. Cartier wrapped his wrists and fingers in gold, emeralds, and diamonds. The Panthère de Cartier watch peeked out from his sleeve, and a Nature Sauvage Tigre bracelet roared from his wrist. This wasn’t over-accessorizing—it was heritage flexed in 18K gold.
Fans called him “The Maharaja of the Met,” and rightly so. Twitter exploded with love, Instagram reels zoomed in on every shimmering detail, and fashion critics praised his look for blending tradition with theme in the most authentic way possible.
The theme of Met Gala 2025 was all about Black dandyism, elegance, and challenging traditional codes of masculinity. Diljit took that prompt and gave it a Punjabi remix. Sharp tailoring? Check. Cultural pride? Double check. Global moment? You bet.
As Diljit Dosanjh was standing tall in cultural pride, the red carpet shone with unforgettable moments of icons of the world. Zendaya did it right by adding theatrical classiness to the red carpet, not one, but two jaws-dropping outfit changes that shook even the most ardent fashion fans. Sydney Sweeney, on the other hand, shone in a vintage glamour, oozing old Hollywood vibes that set off every flashbulb. As celebs played around with silhouettes, sparkles, and symbolism, every one of them brought something striking to the theme, but none probably had traditional relevance as Diljit did.
Other show-stealers included Lisa’s Met Gala debut, where the K-pop queen showed up in a sculptural masterpiece that screamed futuristic glam. Rihanna, always the fashion oracle, delivered gothic extravagance with layers of drama. Tyla’s sand-sculpted dress literally crumbled into the spotlight, while Kim Kardashian owned the metallic moment in a silver corset look. But even among these icons, Diljit didn’t blend in—he stood apart, reminding the world that sometimes, the boldest fashion statement is being rooted in who you are.
Diljit Dosanjh didn’t just wear an outfit. He told a story, made a statement, and gave every South Asian kid watching at home something to cheer for. Heritage never looked so fresh—and fashion never felt this personal.
