This is how long it took to create Diljit Dosanjh’s Met Gala look, inspired by the Maharaja of Patiala

Completing his majestic look was a jewel-studded turban with a feather, an homage to royal headwear, and a heavy diamond necklace designed by Golecha’s Jewels—reminiscent of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh’s legendary Patiala necklace. On his wrist, a Panthère de Cartier watch added a sleek, modern contrast to the regal ensemble.

But Dosanjh didn’t stop at fashion. He added a meaningful cultural symbol in place of the Western dandy cane—carrying a lion-headed, jewel-encrusted kirpan.

The 2025 Met Gala saw the highest number of Indian-origin celebrities at the event up untill now. Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan made a memorable debut at the Met Gala, becoming the first Indian male actor to attend the event. He wore a custom ensemble by Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, featuring a tailored, floor-length coat made from fine Tasmanian wool, accented with Japanese horn buttons. The look was completed with layered talismanic chains, a crystal-studded ‘K’ pendant, a diamond star brooch, multiple rings, and an 18k gold cane adorned with precious stones.

Other stars like Priyanka Chopra, Kiara Advani and Isha Ambani also made their presence known.
