After an explosive 2024 with his Dil-Luminati world tour and a standout guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Diljit Dosanjh took 2025 by storm with a dazzling debut at the Met Gala—fashion’s most elite event. Not only did he turn heads, but he clinched the #1 spot on Vogue’s Best Dressed list, surpassing fellow first-timer Shah Rukh Khan and red carpet veteran Priyanka Chopra.

Topping the Style Charts

In Vogue’s annual reader-driven Best Dressed poll, Diljit outshone 306 other celebrities. His winning look? A culturally rooted, contemporary sherwani designed by Atelier Prabal Gurung. The cream matelassé jacket, featuring intricate rose gold floral crystal embroidery, was paired with a leopard-print silk shirt, sleek black leather trousers, and his trademark shades—blending desi tradition with modern edge.

A Royal Nod to Patiala

Dosanjh paid homage to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala through regal details: a jewel-studded necklace inspired by the historic Cartier Patiala Necklace, a jewel-encrusted turban with a feather, a lion-headed kirpan, and a Cartier watch—all masterfully styled to channel royal Punjabi heritage.

Artisan Excellence Meets Couture

The pièce de résistance? A handcrafted cape, embroidered by 50 artisans in just four days, featuring a gold-threaded map of Punjab and Gurumukhi script, adding layers of identity, pride, and symbolism to the outfit.

With this look, Diljit not only made fashion history—he redefined representation on a global stage.
