Diljit Dosanjh Stuns in ‘Maharaja of Punjab’ Look at Met Gala 2025, Proudly Representing India
Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh made a royal debut at the Met Gala 2025, and it’s safe to say—he stole the spotlight. Representing Indian and Punjabi culture with elegance and pride, Diljit walked the blue carpet like a true modern-day Maharaja, turning global heads with his regal presence.
Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this year’s Met Gala is historic for focusing exclusively on menswear for the first time. The theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, was reflected in the dress code, “Tailored for You.”
Among the sea of global celebrities, Indian stars shined brighter than ever. Shah Rukh Khan looked majestic in a Sabyasachi ensemble, Kiara Advani flaunted her baby bump with confidence and grace, and Priyanka Chopra made another unforgettable appearance. But it was Diljit Dosanjh’s tribute to his roots that truly won hearts.
Wearing a white royal outfit designed by Prabal Gurung, Diljit’s look featured intricate Punjabi calligraphy on a flowing cape, a ruby and emerald-studded neckpiece, and a turban adorned with matching jewels. Adding to the grandeur, he carried a ceremonial sword, symbolizing strength, heritage, and pride. His look quickly earned the title of ‘Maharaja of Punjab’ on social media.
Fans from across the globe are expressing their admiration. One user wrote, “Love how Diljit always represents Punjabi culture on the international stage. As he said, ‘Punjabi agae oye’ – and he truly proved it tonight.” Another emotional post read, “Proud would be an understatement. Diljit is representing Punjab and India at a global level. This moment will live in our hearts forever.”
This year’s Met Gala was co-chaired by cultural icons like Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and Anna Wintour, with LeBron James serving as the honorary co-chair.
Diljit Dosanjh’s appearance was more than just a fashion statement—it was a powerful moment of cultural representation on one of the world’s biggest stages. With this debut, he’s not only made fashion history but also added a proud chapter to India’s global presence. Also Read:- SRK’s Iconic Met Gala Moment: “I Am Shah Rukh Khan”
