A Panthère de Cartier watch, a lion-headed and a jewel-studded sword completed the ensemble, which had a map of Dosanjh's home state embroidered on the back of the cape along with letters from Gurmukhi, the script for Punjabi course, Dosanjh is no stranger to such like his music, he's carved out a niche in fashion too - a hip hop singer who is known for melding traditional Punjabi styles with Western seen in anti-fit trousers, chunky sneakers, and stacks of necklaces that he matches with his colourful turbans, his unique form of self-expression has captured the imagination of millions, leading to interesting reinventions in the traditional Punjabi changes can be felt everywhere. A 16-minute high-intensity bhangra competition in California would be impossible without high performance sneakers. And basement bhangra nights in Berlin are enjoyed in crop tops and deconstructed music itself, high on volume and energy - with lyrics packed with the names of cities and global luxury brands - has become a subculture. It's not just Dosanjh - several other Punjabi musicians have also influenced the region's style game. Not long ago, Punjabi-Canadian singer Jazzy B's rings, often the size of a cookie, along with his plus-sized Kanda pendant and silver blonde hair tints, were trending. More recently, the yellow tinted glasses worn by singer Badshah; the baggy hoodies sported by Yo Yo Honey Singh; and AP Dhillon's Louis Vuitton bombers and Chanel watches have been hugely popular with Punjabi even though their influence was significant, it was restricted to a region. Dosanjh and a few others like him, however, have managed to mount it to a global level, their style speaking to both the Sikh diaspora as well as a broader audience.

For Punjabis - who are largely a farming community - it was an aspirational uprising, symbolic of how success and prosperity should look. "It symbolised the movement of the Punjabi identity from a farmer to a global consumer," says acclaimed singer Rabbi that performers, like everyone else, are a product of their times, Shergill says these impulses are "a response to the hyper capitalist world".Curiously, the style game of Punjabi musicians - from hip-hop, R&B, bhangra pop, fusion, Punjabi rap, reggae or filmy music - has also remained rooted and androgynous, instead of being hyper masculine.A pop star may wear Balenciaga or Indian designer Manish Malhotra's opulent creations; perform anywhere from Ludhiana city to London; dance with Beyonce around Dubai's Burj Khalifa, atop a luxury car, or in a British mansion - but they always wear their Punjabi identity on their underlined this clearly with his maharajah look at the Met Gala. "It's like the popularity of his androgynous style was waiting to happen," Pande composite impact of this trend on emerging artists is unmissable today in Bhangra performances, for instance, are no longer limited to traditional "dhoti-kurta-koti" costume sets paired with juttis (ethnic footwear). Performance attire now includes sneakers, typographic T-shirts, deconstructed bottoms and even denims."Such items are highly sought after by customers," says Harinder Singh, owner of the brand 1469. The merchandise in Singh's stores, includes accessories popularised by Punjab's music stars, such as versions of Phulkari turbans worn by Dosanjh, Kanda pendants that were first popularised by veteran Bhangra artist Pammi Bai. Singh himself owns turbans in more than a 100 overall men's style in Punjab bears some of this cosmopolitan twang. Young poet Gurpreet Saini, who performs at cultural festivals across India, says he sources his shawls - printed with ombre Gurmukhi letters - from Hariana, his hometown in Punjab, for a distinctive look. He admits to the influence of music icons, including those like folk singer Gurdas Mann, who he grew up began as personal flair in some cases, went on to become fashion statements.
