š Introduction: Identity, Luxury & the Power of Cultural Presence
In 2025, Diljit Dosanjh didnāt just walk the Met Gala carpetāhe created a moment of spiritual presence and cultural legacy. Dressed in a custom sherwani by Prabal Gurung, complete with a turban, sword, and a cape featuring the map of Punjab, Diljit paid homage to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. This wasnāt just fashion. This was soul-aligned storytelling at the highest level.
As a business storytelling coach and Hoāoponopono practitioner, I, Neeti Keswani, often share on the Luxury Unplugged Podcast that personal branding isnāt about appearanceāitās about alignment. In this blog, I share 10 coaching reflections inspired by Diljitās Met Gala debut, so you too can embrace soulful branding that commands attention.
š¹ 1. What does Diljitās appearance teach us about identity in branding?
When you show up as the most aligned version of yourself, you donāt need to explain. You radiate. Diljit didnāt try to blend ināhe chose to stand fully in his culture. Thatās what I teach at Luxury Unplugged: your energy is your brand. Your truth is magnetic when you stop editing it.
š¹ 2. How does Diljit embody what I call ‘Luxury Unplugged’?
Luxury isnāt just moneyāitās alignment with your values. Diljit embodied regal grace while remaining deeply spiritual and culturally grounded. Thatās what Luxury Unplugged is all aboutāchoosing elegance without losing your essence.
š¹ 3. How can spiritual entrepreneurs take inspiration from his presence?
Diljit walked in full embodiment of who he is. For spiritual entrepreneurs, this is your lesson: show up with sacred intention. I always tell my clientsāwhether youāre pitching, posting, or presentingāyour presence must carry the frequency of truth.
š¹ 4. Whatās the storytelling lesson here?
He didnāt use words; he used symbolism. His turban, his sword, the capeāall were storytelling tools. In my business coaching, I show people how to infuse every detail with meaning. Thatās what makes your story unforgettable.
š¹ 5. What mindset shift did Diljit model?
He chose legacy over likes. Presence over performance. Thatās what true identity shift looks like. You step into a version of yourself that doesnāt need applause to feel valid.
š¹ 6. What does this mean for visibility on global stages?
Visibility is sacred. Itās not about numbersāitās about frequency. Diljit entered Vogueās best-dressed list not by chance, but by energetic alignment. This is what I call Hoāoponopono Visibility. Itās when your energy does the talking.
š¹ 7. How can conscious branding evolve from this example?
Stop separating your spiritual truth from your outward image. Integrate. Harmonize. Diljitās look was not separate from his beliefsāit was his belief. Thatās the future of branding.
š¹ 8. How does this redefine masculinity and leadership?
Diljit led with softness, grace, and strength. That is conscious masculinity. Thatās the kind of leadership we need more ofāand it starts with how you carry your message.
š¹ 9. Why was this such a viral moment?
Because people crave authenticity. In a sea of fabricated luxury, true spiritual alignment cuts through. When you live your message, you no longer need to market it.
š¹ 10. What can we all learn from this about personal expansion?
Expansion doesnāt require abandoning your roots. In fact, honoring them is what makes your expansion sustainable. Diljitās global moment happened because he brought all of himself to the table.
šø Conclusion: Be Who You Are, Boldly. Soulfully. Publicly.
Diljit Dosanjhās debut wasnāt just a red carpet moment. It was a masterclass in identity alignment, soulful visibility, and conscious leadership. And this is exactly what I teach on the Luxury Unplugged Podcastāhow to blend story, strategy, and soul into your life and brand.
