International sensation Diljit Dosanjh made a resplendent debut at the Met Gala, weaving threads of heritage, culture, and identity into a moment that transcended fashion. Donning a regal turban and an ensemble inspired by the legendary Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, Dosanjh arrived not just as an artist, but as a custodian of his roots.

His flowing cape bore the embroidered map of Punjab, a poignant homage to his homeland, while a striking diamond-and-emerald necklace—an ode to the Maharaja’s iconic Cartier collection—adorned his neck. Yet, amidst all the shimmer and spectacle, it was the legacy he wore with quiet dignity that truly stole the spotlight on the Met's illustrious blue carpet.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Dosanjh reflected on the gravity of the moment. “Main Hoon (Punjab),” he wrote with pride, declaring himself a living representation of his culture on one of fashion’s grandest stages. He spoke of carrying the soul of Punjab with him, honoring its language, attire, and spirit. His caption echoed with pride:

“Inspired by the theme of Black Dandyism, I bring my turban, my culture, and my mother tongue (Punjabi) to the Met Gala.”

Notably, Diljit became the first turbaned artist ever to attend the Met Gala, a milestone that resonated deeply with fans across the globe. His use of Punjabi in his social media post added yet another layer of authenticity and pride to his appearance.

In a delightful twist, pop icon Shakira shared a limousine with Dosanjh en route to the event. A video capturing the ‘Waka Waka’ singer greeting fans with a cheerful “Hi, India” has since gone viral, adding a touch of serendipity to an already unforgettable evening.
