Diljit Dosanjh at the 2025 Met Gala: Fusing Royalty and Modern Fashion

Diljit Dosanjh, the celebrated Punjabi singer, actor, and global icon, stunned the fashion world with his debut at the 2025 Met Gala. Known for his bold style and unapologetically authentic persona, Diljit took the opportunity to showcase not only his fashion sensibility but also his rich cultural heritage, thanks to a stunning custom outfit by renowned designer Prabal Gurung. 

Prabal Gurung, a Nepalese-American designer famed for blending traditional South Asian elements with modern, global trends, created an ensemble that was both regal and contemporary. The outfit, inspired by the grandeur of Indian royalty, featured a white sherwani with intricate zardozi embroidery, giving it a luxe, historical appeal. The sherwani was layered with a dramatic cape that added a sense of fluidity and modernity, seamlessly blending the old and the new.

What set Diljit's look apart was his careful attention to cultural details—accessories like a traditional turban, ceremonial sword, and layered necklaces paid homage to his Punjabi roots, channeling the opulence of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. This nod to India's royal past not only made Diljit's appearance stand out but also sent a powerful message about the importance of preserving and celebrating heritage in a globalized world.

Diljit's presence at the Met Gala was a moment of cultural diplomacy, bringing South Asian fashion to the global stage. The event, known for its extravagant and boundary-pushing fashion choices, was the perfect platform for Diljit to represent Indian culture while simultaneously breaking new ground in the world of high fashion. It was an unforgettable collaboration that demonstrated the growing influence of South Asian designers and celebrities in the fashion industry.

The look was a true testament to Prabal Gurung’s mastery in marrying cultural identity with the high-fashion demands of the Met Gala. It also showed the world that South Asian voices in the global fashion scene are becoming more diverse, powerful, and unignorable.

For Diljit, this moment was not just about fashion—it was about making a statement that style, culture, and global recognition can beautifully coexist.
