Sonam Kapoor praises his iconic look

Joining the list of his admirers, actress Sonam Kapoor said that the 'Good Newwz' actor looked absolutely handsome as he walked the Met Gala red carpet.

Sharing a picture of Diljit on her Instagram stories, Sonam wrote, "Congratulations my darling @abhilashatd you crushed it. @diljitdosanjh looked so handsome!"

Diljit's outfit for Met was inspired by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, the erstwhile ruler of Patiala.

The singer looked absolutely dashing in a white suit, with a white drape and an embellished turban. He accessorized the outfit with a green and white stone necklace.

Giving a special touch to his ensemble, Diljit added the map of Punjab in the Gurmukhi script embroidered on his drape.

Sharing some pictures of himself on Insta, the 'Jatt & Juliet' actor wrote, "MAIN HOON Punjab #metgala...Inspired by The Theme of Black Dandyism, I Bring My Turban, My Culture & My Mother Tongue “ Punjab“ to The MET GALA. Thank You So Much..Dear @prabalgurung @theannawintour @cartier @golecha_jewels @abhilashatd."

Stylist Abhilasha Devnani, who is credited with Diljit's Met Gala look, revealed that they wished to pay tribute to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh by making the singer don one of the rare diamond necklaces that once belonged to the Maharaja.

However, as they failed to borrow the Prince's original Cartier necklace, they created a customised piece inspired by the Maharaja’s legendary necklace, which Diljit wore as part of his final look.

This year, the theme for the Met Gala was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L Miller's book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

Adding another feather to this cap, Diljit became the first Punjabi artist and the first turban-wearing Indian male to attend the Met.

While I appreciate the effort, I wish the outfit had more color. White is elegant but Punjabi culture is so vibrant! Still, historic moment for Indian representation ✨ #PunjabOnGlobalStage

Sonam is right - he looked dashing! But more importantly, he's breaking stereotypes about Indian men's fashion globally. Who says turbans can't be high fashion? #Respect

The Maharaja Bhupinder Singh inspiration is so thoughtful! Diljit's team did great research. Only wish they could've gotten the original necklace - that would've been epic. Still, bahut khoob! 😍
