Diljit Dosanjh’s Maharaja-Inspired Outfit Stands Out at MET Gala
Diljit’s outfit was a perfect blend of traditional Punjabi culture and high fashion. The Vogue poll, which asked readers to pick their favorite red carpet look, saw Diljit rise to the top. His tribute to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh included a custom ivory sherwani by Prabal Gurung. The ensemble also featured a turban, intricate jewelry, and a ceremonial sword. A cape adorned with a map of Punjab and Gurmukhi script completed the look.
Diljit shared his outfit on Instagram, writing, “MAIN HOON ਪੰਜਾਬ #metgala. Inspired by the theme of Black Dandyism, I bring my turban, my culture, and my mother tongue ‘ਪੰਜਾਬੀ’ to the MET GALA. Thank you so much, dear @prabalgurung @theannawintour @cartier @golecha_jewels @abhilashatd.”
Other Celebrities Who Stood Out
South Korean rapper-singer S Coups took second place in the poll. He wore a gray Boss suit inspired by the traditional Korean hanbok jacket. Diljit and S Coups were followed by Zendaya, who wore a Louis Vuitton suit. Teyana Taylor was next in a Ruth E. Carter design, and Rihanna completed the top five with her Marc Jacobs ensemble.
