Met Gala 2025: Diljit's Stylist Victor Robinson Reveals Lover Singer's Outfit Was Made In 4 Days

Global pop icon Diljit Dosanjh made history at the 2024 MET Gala, becoming the first Indian artist to attend and share a table with international stars like Shakira, Nicole Scherzinger, and other global icons. His debut look - a powerful blend of heritage and high fashion designed by Prabal Gurung - became one of the most talked-about ensembles of the night.

Behind the most talked about look of Diljit Dosanjh, was a dedicated Indian team led by stylist Victor Robinson, alongside Sohail Mughal, Manisha, and a group of 50 skilled craftsman. Working nonstop for just 4 days, the team transformed a culturally rich vision into a fashion statement that stunned the world.

Victor Robinson shares the journey in his own words, "When Pravesh Gurung (brother of Prabal) called saying Prabal wanted to collaborate on Diljit Dosanjh's MET Gala look, it was surreal. We instantly said yes - this was history in the making."

"Diljit and Prabal had a powerful vision: a royal costume featuring the sun, moon, and the map of Punjab in Gurmukhi. They wanted it crafted in India using rich brocade fabric, and we sourced it from Benaras. Diljit personally approved the material - he wanted to feel exactly what he'd be wearing on that global stage."

"We reworked the embroidered map two or three times to get it absolutely right. While others worked on their MET looks for months, me, Sohail, and my colleague Manisha - along with her team of 50 skilled craftsmen - worked around the clock, nonstop for 4 days, to make it flawless."

"There was pressure working under the Prabal Gurung label, but we were driven to deliver perfection. When Prabal said, 'It's beautiful, just how I wanted it,' we knew we had nailed the vision. It was a surreal moment to see our creation at the prestigious MET Gala, worn by a global icon like Diljit Dosanjh."

Diljit's look was more than just fashion - it was a bold display of culture, pride, and artistry, handcrafted in India and worn among the world's most celebrated stars on World fashion's biggest night.
