New Delhi, May 6: Popular singer-star Diljit Dosanjh honoured his Sikh roots and home state Punjab in his debut at the Met Gala 2025 with a regal white ensemble complete with a kirpan, turban and a layered necklace in a hat tip to the Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala.
Diljit, known for songs such as “5 Taara”, “Lover”, “Peaches”, and “GOAT”, wore an ivory and gold sherwani along with a tehmat by American-Nepalese designer Prabal Gurung. The musician, who hails from Punjab’s Dosanjh village, completed his look with a bejewelled turban adorned with a white ‘kalgi’ and a lion-headed, jewel-studded kirpan, a cape with the silhouetted map of Punjab and alphabets in the Punjabi script Gurmukhi embroidered on it. His belt bore hand-embroidered traditional Indian motifs like lotus flowers and peacocks.
“Main Hoon Punjab #metgala,” Diljit wrote on Instagram, quoting the lines from a song in “Chamkila”.
