đ Introduction: Identity, Luxury & the Power of Cultural Presence
In 2025, Diljit Dosanjh didnât just walk the Met Gala carpetâhe 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 wasnât just fashion. This was soul-aligned storytelling at the highest level.
As a business storytelling coach and Hoâoponopono practitioner, I, Neeti Keswani, often share on the Luxury Unplugged Podcast that personal branding isnât about appearanceâitâs about alignment. In this blog, I share 10 coaching reflections inspired by Diljitâs Met Gala debut, so you too can embrace soulful branding that commands attention.
đš 1. What does Diljitâs appearance teach us about identity in branding?
When you show up as the most aligned version of yourself, you donât need to explain. You radiate. Diljit didnât try to blend inâhe chose to stand fully in his culture. Thatâs what I teach at Luxury Unplugged: your energy is your brand. Your truth is magnetic when you stop editing it.
đš 2. How does Diljit embody what I call âLuxury Unpluggedâ?
Luxury isnât just moneyâitâs alignment with your values. Diljit embodied regal grace while remaining deeply spiritual and culturally grounded. Thatâs what Luxury Unplugged is all aboutâchoosing elegance without losing your essence.
đš 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 clientsâwhether youâre pitching, posting, or presentingâyour presence must carry the frequency of truth.
đš 4. Whatâs the storytelling lesson here?
He didnât use words; he used symbolism. His turban, his sword, the capeâall were storytelling tools. In my business coaching, I show people how to infuse every detail with meaning. Thatâs what makes your story unforgettable.
đš 5. What mindset shift did Diljit model?
He chose legacy over likes. Presence over performance. Thatâs what true identity shift looks like. You step into a version of yourself that doesnât need applause to feel valid.
đš 6. What does this mean for visibility on global stages?
Visibility is sacred. Itâs not about numbersâitâs about frequency. Diljit entered Vogueâs best-dressed list not by chance, but by energetic alignment. This is what I call Hoâoponopono Visibility. Itâs when your energy does the talking.
đš 7. How can conscious branding evolve from this example?
Stop separating your spiritual truth from your outward image. Integrate. Harmonize. Diljitâs look was not separate from his beliefsâit was his belief. Thatâs the future of branding.
đš 8. How does this redefine masculinity and leadership?
Diljit led with softness, grace, and strength. That is conscious masculinity. Thatâs the kind of leadership we need more ofâand it starts with how you carry your message.
đš 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.
đš 10. What can we all learn from this about personal expansion?
Expansion doesnât require abandoning your roots. In fact, honoring them is what makes your expansion sustainable. Diljitâs global moment happened because he brought all of himself to the table.
đ¸ Conclusion: Be Who You Are, Boldly. Soulfully. Publicly.
Diljit Dosanjhâs debut wasnât 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 Podcastâhow to blend story, strategy, and soul into your life and brand.
