By now, there’s a good chance you’ve seen videos of Diljit Dosanjh walking in slo-mo in his regalia in New York City this Monday. The powerhouse performer made his debut at this year’s Met Gala and outshone most of the attendees in his custom Prabal Gurung ensemble.
Chanelling the stylish spirit of the Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, Diljit showed up on the blue carpet in an outfit that screamed royal prince ready to head to his raaj tilak. Or a garden-variety North Indian groom.
Since the unsaid diktat of not outshining the bride when it comes to wedding outfits doesn’t apply to North Indian weddings, Diljit’s Met Gala outfit screams groomcore. The gold and ivory sherwani adorned with intricate embroidery, the expensive jewellery dripping from his neck, wrist and turban and the ornately-designed sword that he (presumably) wielded to ward off pesky paparazzi or a group of heisters who wanted to steal his Patiala necklace-inspired diamond set.

If you’re a groom frantically looking for inspiration on how to accessorise for your wedding without looking like a deranged magician, Met Gala 2025 Diljit is the only Pinterest moodboard you’d need. The singer, and his stylist Abhilasha Devnani, focused on bringing rich textures, sharp tailoring and an abundance of jewellery to the Met Gala, and there are lessons to be gleaned in how to scale back from tipping into the OTT category when it comes to dressing like a literal prince for your wedding.
Diljit Dosanjh’s Met Gala 2025 Look Breakdown
The singer’s custom Prabal Gurung ensemble consisted of a sherwani, paired with a tehmat and layered with a sweeping embroidered cape (a worthy alternative to the usual stole or shawl with wedding sherwanis?). Diljit’s ivory turban was also adorned with jewels, including a feathered sarpench.

When someone said to the singer how much jewellery he would like to have on his person at the Met, he probably responded with a firm “Yes”, because there was a lot. Not that we’re complaining.
The crowning piece of the singer’s Met outfit was the Cartier’s Patiala necklace-inspired diamond set around his neck. Although his request to wear the original piece was denied (The piece is, reportedly, preserved in a museum and is only available to be loaned to white influencers), the Golecha’s Jewels diamond set was a worthy replica. A Panthère de Cartier watch, a multitude of bracelets and rings and a gold lion head kirpan completed the look.
