Diljit Dosanjh made a striking debut at the Met Gala, donning a regal ensemble crafted by Nepalese-American designer Prabal Gurung. Inspired by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, he wore an elegant ivory sherwani-style suit paired with a dramatic cape. The cape was adorned with intricate golden embroidery featuring the map of Punjab and the full set of Gurmukhi alphabets, paying homage to his cultural roots. Completing the look with a traditional turban, Diljit evoked the presence of a modern-day Sikh maharaja.

Diljit accessorised with layered pearl and emerald necklaces, creating an opulent statement. He further elevated his ensemble with ornate rings and intricately embellished brooches, which lent a subtle sparkle and enhanced his commanding presence. Notably, each piece carries a regal legacy, the story of which is set to unfold in just a few hours.

One of the standout features of Diljit’s ensemble was his iconic Patiala necklace, a historic piece originally designed by Cartier in 1928 for Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. For those unfamiliar, it remains one of the most extravagant pieces of jewelry ever created, incorporating thousands of diamonds supplied by the Maharaja himself. At its heart lies the remarkable 234-carat De Beers yellow diamond, a gem that defined the necklace’s legendary status.

The necklace stood out as a striking detail, not just for its beauty, but because it hails from the Maharaja’s collection by Cartier. Emma Chamberlain famously wore a part of it to the 2022 Met Gala, turning heads worldwide. Yet seeing Diljit don it felt deeply personal, almost like bringing it home. Now, as he takes his seat alongside Prabal Gurung and global icons like Shakira and Nicole Scherzinger, he’s not just making a statement, he’s making history.
