Diljit Dosanjh has created history in Met Gala 2025, the biggest event in the fashion world. He is the first Punjabi singer and actor to participate in this prestigious ceremony. He not only demonstrated the heritage of Punjab in his grand ‘Maharaja-inspired’ costumes, but also established a unique identity of mother tongue and culture by including Punjabi Gurmukhi script in his dress.

The dress worn by Diljit was inspired by Indian, especially Punjabi kings and included embroidered sherwani, beads and turban. But the most unique thing was the Punjabi Gurmukhi script engraved on his dress. These letters not only connected fashion to Punjabi culture but also gave a message to the world that Indian languages and culture can be presented proudly on the global stage.
