'Choupette is suing': Doja Cat trolled as she channels Karl Lagerfeld's pet at Met Gala 2023

Met Gala 2023: Doja Cat's outfit with cat ears and nose was a fitting tribute to Choupette

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Doja Cat lived up to her stage name by appearing in an outfit that resembled that of a cat at the Met Gala 2023 on Monday, May 1. But her outfit was no ordinary cat costume. It was a fitting tribute to the theme 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,' which commemorated the designer's death in February 2019.

The 'Woman' singer's glamorous ensemble was adorned with jewels, and she wore a headpiece with cat ears and a prosthetic nose that mimicked the facial features of a cat. The theme of this year's Met Gala is dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld, who loved his cat Choupette so much that he included her in his will. By paying homage to Choupette with her cat-inspired outfit, Doja Cat not only honors the theme but also cleverly incorporates her own name into the playful reference.

"A million thanks to all of you my fans, animal lovers and Daddy's admirers. You have all shown the kindest enthusiasm and unconditional support, I say MERCI ! Many people invited me to walk the red carpet of the #METGALA2023 in tribute to Daddy, but we preferred to stay peacefully & cozy at home. We pay tribute to my Daddy every day since his parting and we are very moved to see one more day dedicated to him. With love, forever, Choupette."
