Indian singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh is officially heading to the MET Gala 2025, and he’s taking his fans along for the ride—virtually, of course! In a hilarious and heartfelt Instagram video, the Punjabi superstar offered a peek at his exclusive MET Gala invite and turned to fans to help him decide what to wear.
“This One is Special,” Says Diljit
In a humorous video posted in Punjabi, Diljit playfully held up the luxurious invitation and said, “I’ve received many wedding cards from relatives, but this one is special.” Staying true to his witty style, he even read out the names of this year’s hosts and guests, keeping the mood light and entertaining.
Fans Help Pick His MET Gala Look
Alongside the invite, Diljit also showcased a curated box of goodies sent by the event organizers. But it was his next move that truly got the internet buzzing—he posted a note asking fans, “MET Gala. Ki Paiye Fer?” (What should I wear?). The comment section exploded with excitement, as fans showered him with fashion advice and celebrated his MET Gala debut.
A Gentle Reminder from the MET Museum
In another part of the video, Diljit shared a snippet of the rules set by the organizers. The note clearly stated that the use of cell phones and recording devices inside the museum is strictly prohibited, hinting at the event’s exclusive and private nature.
2025 Theme: Superfine – Tailoring Black Style
This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is a tribute to Black fashion, elegance, and cultural identity. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion, the theme celebrates Black dandyism through luxurious tailoring, bold statements, and artistic personal expression. Guests are expected to wear finely tailored outfits that reflect dignity, creativity, and legacy.
Starry Line-Up of MET Gala 2025 Co-Chairs
The 2025 MET Gala continues its tradition of blending fashion and celebrity, with Anna Wintour returning as lead chair. She’s joined by Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and LeBron James as this year’s co-chairs—an electrifying mix of fashion, sports, and music royalty.
Diljit Thanks the MET Gala Team
The video ended on a sweet and funny note, with Diljit showing a bottle of champagne sent by the team. “No one is here to drink it, so it’s just melting away,” he joked. He expressed his gratitude to the organizers, saying he felt honored by their thoughtful hospitality.
