Diljit Dosanjh doesn’t exactly do fashion by the rulebook, and thank goodness for that. The singer brought his unmistakable Punjabi swagger to the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas on November 12, 2026, serving up not one but two rather interesting fashion moments. From a glossy, studded leather vest that wouldn’t look out of place in a rockstar’s wardrobe to a textured tweed jacket that had us doing a double take, Diljit gave monochrome dressing quite the wardrobe upgrade. No predictable red-carpet tailoring here. Just a healthy dose of attitude, oversized proportions and some seriously good layering.
The singer also made history as the first Indian artist to perform at the Latin Grammys, taking the stage alongside Daddy Yankee for a performance of Pokito. And while the musical moment was undoubtedly a milestone, his wardrobe deserves a little spotlight of its own.
And as we can see, he clearly didn’t fly all the way to Las Vegas to play it safe with his wardrobe. The singer gave us two distinct style moods, both with his unmistakable Punjabi stamp. First came the leather-clad rockstar, complete with punk-inspired studs and a string of pearls; then came a tweed-clad fashion moment that wouldn’t look out of place on the streets of Paris. And, as always, we’re here to get our hands on all the delicious details.
Diljit Dosanjh’s Latin Grammys Performance Look Was All About Leather, Pearls And Punjabi Swagger
For his stage performance, Diljit reached for an oversized black leather vest with a distinctly rebellious streak. Featuring exaggerated notched lapels, a front zip closure and a glossy, distressed finish, the sleeveless piece brought plenty of texture to the monochromatic ensemble.
Look a little closer and there’s more to it than just a leather layer. Studded embellishments along the shoulders add a punk-inspired edge, while the zippered chest pocket lends the piece a utilitarian touch. Layered over a relaxed white button-down shirt, the vest creates an interesting play of proportions.
He paired it with loose, voluminous black trousers that kept the ensemble firmly away from conventional red-carpet formality. The crisp white turban cut through the black-and-white palette, bringing an unmistakable Punjabi signature to the outfit.
A closer look at the styling also reveals a layered pearl necklace, an unexpected addition against all that rugged leather. The overall effect? Punjabi pride with a punk-rock wardrobe sensibility. Quite the combination.
Diljit Dosanjh Trades Rockstar Leather For A Textured Tweed Jacket
But Diljit wasn’t done experimenting. In another look, the singer traded leather’s rebellious energy for the understated charm of tweed. He wore a textured, collarless jacket in a pale grey-white shade, peppered with tiny flecks of colour that give the fabric its distinctive finish. The double-breasted silhouette comes with prominent gold-tone buttons arranged across the front, while the slightly cropped, boxy cut lends the jacket a contemporary edge. It’s the kind of piece that does not need much else to hold its own. The tactile fabric, structured shoulders and neat proportions do all the talking, giving classic tweed a refreshingly modern spin.
He teamed the jacket with wide-leg black trousers, allowing the relaxed silhouette to balance the more structured top half. The white turban once again made an appearance to add that signature swag!
Chunky beige footwear added another laid-back element, while a wristwatch offered a subtle finishing detail.
If these Latin Grammys looks are anything to go by, Diljit clearly has no intention of playing it safe with his wardrobe. We’re certainly not complaining.
