Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh on Tuesday morning (India Time) made his grand debut at the Met Gala 2025. Known worldwide as a Punjabi pop sensation, Dosanjh embraced tradition in his Met Gala look, donning a pristine white Sikh royal ensemble. The outfit, designed by acclaimed fashion designer Prabal Gurung, was complemented by a ceremonial sword, adding a bold and culturally rich statement to the evening’s high-fashion affair. There were many speculations about what the Punjabi singer wore, but like his catch-phrase 'Punjab Aa Gaye Oye', Diljit donned a white royal Sikh attire. Diljit's outfit was designed by Prabal Gurung.
The Punjabi singer also posed for an official photo with Hollywood pop star Shakira and Pussycat Dolls fame Nicole Scherzinger. For the unversed, the global icon is the only Indian male actor who will have a seat at Gala 2025, and not just this; he will also be among the few elite invited celebs who will be attending a fine dinner inside Anna Wintour’s exclusive soirée.
At the back, a quote in Gurmukhi was also written on Diljit's historic Met Gala look. It reads, "Uthe Sardaar Gabbroo Jattan De Swaag Vaang Phirde Ne Punjab Laal (There, proud young Sikh men roam like the pride of Punjab)"
Talking about Diljit's designer, Prabal, known for masterfully fusing tradition with modernity, is creating a royal piece steeped in tradition for Diljit, thus paying an homage to his Punjabi culture, and rooted firmly in Indian craftsmanship and artisanal excellence.
