After making news across 2024 with his world tour Dil-Luminati and the much-discussed appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Diljit Dosanjh achieved another milestone this year by marking a smashing debut at the MET Gala 2025. The singer didn't just mark his debut but also emerged as the best dressed celeb at the iconic fashion event in a Vogue poll, beating superstar Shah Rukh Khan who too marked his debut and a regular Priyanka Chopra, who has been attending the event for many years.
According to Vogue, Diljit Dosanjh stole the Number 1 position beating 306 contestants. Vogue as part of its Best Dressed list, asked its readers to choose their favourite looks of the evening. The readers had 307 different outfits to choose from and the top choice of the readers was Punajbi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh who represented his Punjabi heritage in a Prabal Gurung sherwani.
Diljit was followed by S Coups in Boss, Zendaya in Louis Vuitton, Treyana Taylor in Ruth E. Carter, Rihanna in Marc Jacobs, Nicki Minaj in Thom Browne, Shakira in Prabal Gurang, Lewis Hamilton in Grace Wales Bonner, Lisa in Louis Vuitton, and Sabrina Carpenter in Louis Vuitton.
The year also marked the debut of mom-to-be Kiara Advani at Met Gala, but the actress too didn't make it to the list.
Diljit Dosanjh wore Atelier Prabal Gurung cream matelassé tailored jacket with hand embroidered rose gold floral crystal embroidery with leopard print silk shirt and black leather pants on the Met Gala red carpet with his signature style glasses.
He complimented his look with a multi-layered jewel-studded necklace with a emerald centrepiece. The look was inspired by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, the rule of the princely state of Patiala. He also wore a jewel-studded turban with a feather, and a lion-headed kirpan in hand. His neckpiece was inspired by the iconic Patiala Necklace, created by France-based jewellery house Cartier nearly a century ago. He also wore a Cartier watch to complete the look.
Diljit Dosanjh's outfit was a work of 50 craftsmen who worked over four days to create the cape he wore at the event. His cape had the map of Punjab with Gurumukhi (script of Punjabi language) alphabets embroidered through it. The map and alphabets were hand-embroidered with gold threads.

He made mistakes, had to face consequences: Gangster Goldy Brar on Moosewala's murder
Chandigarh, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar has openly admitted to orchestrating the murder of Sidhu Moosewala, claiming that the Punjabi singer "made some mistakes which could not be forgiven" and "he had to face the consequences". Brar, a close aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, made the confession in a BBC World Service documentary. The British broadcaster released the two-part documentary, 'The Killing Call', on YouTube on Wednesday, also the birth anniversary of Moosewala. Singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, who was popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot dead in Punjab's Mansa district on May 29, 2022. He was killed when he, along with his friend and cousin, was travelling in a jeep to Jawahar Ke village in Mansa. Six shooters waylaid Moosewala's SUV and sprayed it with bullets. After the killing, Brar claimed responsibility for the murder. In the documentary, Brar told BBC that Moosewala's relationship with Bishnoi went back several years and the singer used to send "good morning" and "good night" messages to the gangster. However, the relationship turned sour after Moosewala promoted a kabaddi tournament that was organised by Bishnoi's rivals. "In his arrogance, he made some mistakes that could not be forgiven," Brar said. In the documentary, Brar also spoke about the killing of Youth Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukhera, who was murdered in August 2021 in Mohali. "Everybody knew his . Police also knew it. Even some journalists who were investigating Vicky's case knew. "Sidhu was using his political power, his money and resources to help our rivals, those who killed our brother. We wanted to punish him for that. He should have been booked and sent to jail. But no one was hearing our plea and then we took it upon ourselves," Brar said. "We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that," the gangster said in the documentary. Asked why they did not go through the judicial system in India instead of taking law into their hands, Brar said, "Law and justice, there is no such thing. Only the powerful people can get justice, not ordinary people. I did what I had to do for my brother. I have no remorse whatsoever and I take pride in it." Asked why they did not go after the perpetrators of Middukhera's murder, he said, "It is not that we have reached a compromise or forgiven them. They have all apologised and begged for their lives. But we have not forgiven anyone and we will never forgive." Police had earlier said that Brar executed the plan to murder Moosewala to avenge the killing of Middukhera. Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy Brar, a native of Sri Muktsar Sahib in Punjab, went to Canada on student visa in 2017. He is an active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Last year, Brar was designated as a terrorist by the government under the anti-terror law for his involvement in smuggling of high-grade arms, ammunition and explosives through drones from across the border for carrying out killings in India. Brar has also been associated with the banned terrorist group Babbar Khalsa International. The BBC documentary focuses on Moosewala's early life, his rise to fame in the music world and the circumstances of his killing. It also features interviews of the singer's friends, a Punjab Police officer and a few journalists. On Moosewala's birth anniversary on Wednesday, his family released three of his tracks "Take Notes", "0008" and "Neal". While "Take Notes" has registered 8.2 million views so far, "0008" has 6.4 million views and 'Neal' has 6.3 million.
