New York, May 6 -- Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh won hearts by honouring his Sikh roots at his Met Gala debut.

Bringing Punjabi pride and royalty to New York City's biggest fashion event, Diljit walked the iconic stairs of the Metropolitan Museum wearing a turban (a symbol of Sikh identity), a kurta, and a tehmat (a long tunic and draped bottoms).

The custom-made number was designed by Prabal Gurung, who also created actor Alia's pearl gown for the 2023 Met Gala.

He elevated his traditional look with a jewel-studded turban and a layered diamond necklace by Golecha's Jewels--an homage to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh's iconic Patiala necklace by Cartier. Diljit also carried a lion-headed, jewel-studded kirpan (sword).
