Doja Cat lived as much as her identify on the 2023 Met Gala on Monday (Could 1), when she got here dressed as, nicely, a cat.
Not simply any cat, although. The “Girl” famous person’s jewel-encrusted look, full with a cat ear headpiece and prosthetic feline nostril, is in tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Choupette. The look, curated by stylist Brett Alan Nelson, is completely on theme, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Magnificence, in honor of the style designer who died in February 2019.
Choupette, who Lagerfeld adopted in 2011, hilariously confirmed earlier within the day that she wouldn’t be attending the celebrated occasion through an Instagram put up. “Many individuals invited me to stroll the purple carpet of the #METGALA2023 in tribute to Daddy, however we most popular to remain peacefully & cozy at residence,” the put up reads alongside images of the lounging kitty. “We pay tribute to my Daddy day by day since his parting and we’re very moved to see another day devoted to him.”
Fortunately, Choupette is there in spirit because of Doja Cat. See the “Must Know” singer’s purr-fect look under.
