Prior to the incident, Diljit shared in an interview that his goal was to demonstrate Punjabi culture on a global stage. “I am trying to bring Punjab to Met Gala Red Carpet,” he said.
For his Met Gala debut, Diljit wore a turban as part of a look inspired by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, former ruler of Patiala. His dress was embroidered with a map of Punjab and a surprising diamond-and-armed necklace reminiscent of the Maharaja’s cartier collection.
