Diljit Dosanjh turned heads and stole hearts at the 2025 Met Gala with a show-stopping debut that paid rich tribute to his Punjabi roots. Dressed in a custom ensemble by designer Prabal Gurung, the singer-actor proudly blended tradition with high fashion, becoming the first turbaned Indian celebrity to walk the iconic Met Gala red carpet.
Fans erupted with pride as images of Diljit’s look surfaced online, many exclaiming, “Punjabi aa gaye oye!” The globally acclaimed artist embraced his cultural identity with a traditional Sikh turban, a kurta, and a tehmat—a classic draped lower garment. His royal attire was elevated with bold accessories, including a ceremonial sword and a flowing cape adorned with Punjabi alphabets.
The outfit not only honored his roots but also made a statement on one of the world’s most prestigious fashion platforms. Reports suggest that Diljit’s jewelry was inspired by, or possibly sourced from, the legendary Cartier collection of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala—adding historical weight and regal flair to the look.
Diljit’s Met Gala appearance, which embraced the theme “Tailored for You”, was widely celebrated across social media. Fans praised his authenticity and the cultural pride behind his fashion choice, flooding posts with comments like “So proud” and “Goosebumps.”
Ahead of his debut, the ever-charming star shared a playful video on Instagram, showing off goodies from the Met Gala organizers and joking about what to wear. He captioned it, “MET GALA Tomorrow Daso Fer Ki Paiye Kal Nu Halaa Laa Laa Karauni An,” a fun nod to his infectious excitement.
Diljit joined a strong lineup of Indian talent at this year’s gala, including Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Kiara Advani, Isha Ambani, and Manish Malhotra, further cementing India’s growing influence on global fashion stages.
With his fearless embrace of culture and charisma, Diljit Dosanjh’s Met Gala debut was more than just a fashion moment—it was a proud celebration of identity, heritage, and global representation.
