Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh's Met Gala debut last month left a lasting impression on global fashion.The 41-year-old singer, who is the only Punjabi musician to perform at Coachella, walked the red carpet dressed like an early 20th Century maharajah.His opulent ivory and gold ensemble - created by designer Prabal Gurung - complete with a feathered bejewelled turban, trended in India for weeks.

He also wore a gorgeous diamond necklace, its design inspired by a Cartier piece worn by an erstwhile king of the northern Indian state of Punjab.A Panthère de Cartier watch, a lion-headed and a jewel-studded sword completed the ensemble, which had a map of Dosanjh's home state embroidered on the back of the cape along with letters from Gurmukhi, the script for Punjabi language.

"Two years ago, we were close to having to close," she said. "That year, we filed a nearly £190,000 loss."The Kenton was saved by a £100,000 loan from Henley Town Council.

"It gave us the breathing space to reset things," Miss Pheasant said."We're in a much better position now. We've managed to reduce our losses down to £30,000 in a year, which is incredible.
