Choupette is the cat and closest confidante to Chanel’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld, who passed on at the age of 85 in 2019 and left much of his estate to his cat.
This year’s Met Gala theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A line of beauty”, was in honour of the designer.
Celebrities such as Chloe Fineman, Jared Leto, Doja Cat, and Lil Nas X, all paid homage to Karl Lagerfeld by dressing as the one thing the designer held dear to himself.
Jared Leto, wore a full fursuit with hyperrealistic blue eyes, while Doja Cat came in an Oscar de la Renta dress and feline face prosthetics. Lil Nas X wore a Dior Homme, a bejeweled mask, and plenty of silver body paint. Chloe Fineman carried a glittery, cat-shaped purse that matched her camellia-covered pink dress.
