Diljit Dosanjh to sit with Shakira at the MET Gala (Exclusive)

The countdown has begun for fashion’s most celebrated night — the MET Gala 2025 — and this year promises a landmark moment for India on the global style stage.
Diljit Dosanjh, Indian actor, singer, and global icon, is all set to make his MET Gala debut, and it’s already shaping up to be one for the history books. A reliable source shares, in a major first, Diljit will be the only male Indian star to have a seat at this year’s gala — not just walking the coveted red carpet, but also being among the elite few invited to dine inside Anna Wintour’s exclusive soirée.
Diljit will be hosted at the event by ace designer Prabal Gurung, who is also designing Diljit’s debut MET Gala look. Known for his thoughtful blend of tradition and modernity, Prabal is crafting a regal, traditional ensemble for Diljit — a tribute to his proud Punjabi heritage, deeply rooted in Indian craftsmanship and artisanal excellence.
But the glamour doesn’t stop there. Diljit will be seated at Prabal’s table inside the gala, rubbing shoulders with international luminaries such as Shakira, Gayle King, Nicole Scherzinger, and other global icons. It’s a moment of cultural convergence and representation — a celebration of South Asian identity on fashion’s most prestigious platform.
Prabal Gurung, a celebrated voice for the global Asian designer community, has long been a force at the MET Gala. His previous creations have graced stars including Alia Bhatt (2023), Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Deepika Padukone, Isha Ambani, Rita Ora, Demi Lovato, Simone Ashley, Maria Sharapova, Kaley Cuoco, Quinta Brunson, and Laufey, among others.
