Ricky Kej, a three-time Grammy Award winning Indian music composer, environmentalist, and Padma Shri recipient, stunned at the red carpet of the 2025 Grammy Awards on February 2 when he turned up in a traditional Indian outfit celebrating India's rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship.

 

Kej, who was nominated for his fourth Grammy for his album 'Break of Dawn', walked the carpet with Marla Maples, an American TV personality known for her past marriage to US President Donald Trump.

 

For the event, Kej opted for a brown bandhgala with bead embroidery. He paired it with a black dhoti featuring delicate golden lace. The outfit was designed by Bharat Jain and his team at 108 Bespoke, inspired by his Grammy-nominated album.

 

Additionally, the Grammy winner chose to add a traditional Kambli shawl, often woven by Kuruba weavers of Karnataka.
