Jared Leto arrives at the Met Gala as Karl Lagerfeld's cat 'Choupette'

Outrageous. Impressive and impactful which I guess was the intention. Nice to see the humble (not so humble in the case of Choupette who's rich - $150m) domestic cat featured so outstandingly. 

In case you are unsure, Choupette is a blue-cream tortoiseshell Birman cat who was the pet of German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld from around Christmas 2011, until Lagerfeld's death on 19 February 2019 at the age of 85.

This is Jared Leto's send off to Karl Lagerfeld. A recognition of his brilliance as a fashion designer and his love of cats.

Choupette was probably the most spoiled and pampered domestic cat on the planet, treated as a goddess, but she never became obese. He loved her but didn't let his love lead to overfeeding. Great.

I have a page on Choupette which may interest you. 


Here we see Lagerfeld photographing Choupette. I believe that the image is in the public domain.
