During the MET Gala 2025, Diljit Dosanjh made a significant cultural statement by wearing an ensemble that paid homage to his heritage and went beyond simple fashion. The singer-actor attracted attention with his royal attire, which was modelled after Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, but his cape was the real show stealer.
The design paid a sincere tribute to his history by being embroidered with the map of Punjab and the Gurmukhi alphabet, Painti Akhri. The cape, which combined heritage with international glitz, seemed like a love letter to Punjab with every stitch.
At the Met Gala 2025, the Amar Singh Chamkila actor looked stunning in an all-white ensemble with a traditional turban on top, exuding regal elegance. He proudly reflected his background by elevating his ensemble with symbolic sword and elaborate jewellery.
But what really caught the eye was his flowing white cape, which was exquisitely embroidered with Punjabi script characters and served as a potent nod to his cultural heritage. On one of the largest fashion venues in the world, Dosanjh skilfully combined tradition and high fashion in every little detail.
Social media went into overdrive after Diljit Dosanjh's spectacular Met Gala 2025 performance, with online users praising him and his presence as the clear "winner" of the evening.
One fan wrote, "Punjabi ‘Khaa’ Gaye oyeeeee," while another said, "I can now sleep peacefully." Fans showered comment sections with praise. Others added compliments such as "Definitely the best representation for Punjabis." Bollywood as well as Punjabi business! and "We have a winner at last." His audacious, ethnically diverse ensemble undoubtedly made a lasting impression on the internet.
Monica L. Miller's 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity serves as the basis for the 2025 Met Gala's theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. This theme draws attention to the relationship between Black identity and fashion.
The Tailored for You dress code for the event pays homage to the predominance of menswear and suits in the exhibition.
Prominent individuals include singer Pharrell Williams, actor Colman Domingo, Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour co-chaired the esteemed event. Basketball legend LeBron James served as an honorary co-chair.
