Meet 5 Indian singers who are setting the nation's hottest fashion trends

Punjabi music dominates global charts today, but there is a quieter revolution happening right in front of us. It is the fashion. The same artists setting streaming records are now dictating what you wear. We are seeing a massive shift from regional music videos to international red carpets, and these musicians are leading the charge. They pull heavily from their cultural roots while simultaneously sporting the latest limited-edition streetwear drops. If your wardrobe feels a bit stale lately, here is exactly where you should be looking. These five Punjabi artists are currently running the country's style game.

Then you have Satinder Sartaaj. In an industry obsessed with dropping the biggest, loudest logos, he takes a totally different route. His look is poetic, rooted, and incredibly organic. Sartaaj almost exclusively wears softly structured kurtas, loose salwars, and a uniquely tied turban that lets his hair flow down to his shoulders. The funny thing is, this whole Sufi aesthetic wasn't planned by a modern styling team. Back in 2003, during a docuseries shoot, he modeled his look after an old photograph of the legendary poet Waris Shah. It stuck. True style usually does.ge.

AP Dhillon, on the other hand, dragged that moody, underground Western streetwear vibe right into the spotlight. If you want to know what modern hypebeast fashion looks like in India, just look at his wardrobe. He loves structural puffer jackets, raw denim, and high-ankle statement sneakers. Dhillon is also the absolute king of smart layering. A printed bomber over a plain monochromatic tee, or heavy hoodies paired with tactical vests—his clothes mirror his tracks. Slick, a little mysterious, and effortlessly cool.

We have to start with Diljit Dosanjh. He is practically the blueprint for global Punjabi fashion right now. The man somehow manages to make custom Balenciaga at Coachella look just as natural as a pristine Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla sherwani at the Met Gala. His real genius lies in duality. He will frequently throw on a vibrant, traditional turban, then ground the entire look with massive, hyped luxury sneakers. It is a wardrobe that feels deeply personal but completely ready for the world stage.

Harrdy Sandhu’s style evolution is just as wild as his jump from professional cricket to pop music. He definitely favors a sharper, more suave aesthetic and is never afraid to mess around with textures. You will usually catch him in leather shirts, sleek jackets, and tailored fits that show off his athletic background. Even when he dials it way back to just jeans and a basic tank top, his grooming is always flawless. It is that sharp beard and experimental hair combination that ensures he always looks put together.

Finally, Badshah. His rule for getting dressed is basically "more is more." He champions that plus-size, maximalist luxury look better than anyone else in the industry. We are talking XXXL technical jackets, massive pullovers, and bold prints that demand your attention. Badshah uses his wardrobe to match his outsized, larger-than-life energy. Throwing neon colors together with chunky, futuristic shoes and wild eyewear? It probably shouldn't work for most people, but for him, it is exactly right.
