 Punjabi singer-star Diljit Dosanjh walked the Met Gala 2025 blue carpet dressed in a regal white ensemble in a homage to the Maharaja of Patiala. The outfit was designed by American-Nepalese designer Prabal Gurung, who previously dressed Bollywood star Alia Bhatt for the fashion charity event held annually in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The look features hand-embroidered motifs of India’s cultural markers, like lotus flowers and peacocks on the belt, and, on the cape, an artistic representation of the state of Punjab as well as Punjabi script, known as Gurmukhi. Diljit's cape intrigued many, and some tried to decode what was written inside the outline of the state's map.

For those wanting to know what the embroidered text means, it is simply a sequence of the Punjabi alphabet. The cape featured the 35 letters in the Punjabi language.
