Doja Cat dresses up as Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette for Met Gala

On Monday night (Tuesday IST), Doja Cat arrived at the Met Gala 2023 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Doja paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld by dressing up as his cat Choupette in an Oscar de la Renta pearl-white gown embellished in hundreds of shimmering diamantes. For the uninitiated, Choupette, the Birman cat, once owned by Karl Lagerfeld, was as famous as the designer. Choupette led a life of decadence by the designer's side, flew private, had an iPad, and took her meals from three Goyard dishes. After Lagerfeld's death, it was reported that he wrote the cat in his will and left her an inheritance of £1.3 million.

Doja Cat's Oscar de la Renta gown comes topped off with a headdress featuring cat years and hundreds of shimmering crystal embellishments. The sleeveless ensemble also has a full-back revealing detail, shimmering diamantes, a figure-hugging silhouette accentuating her frame, and a feather-adorned train at the back.

Doja accessorised the ensemble with bejewelled nail embellishments, bracelets, diamond rings dainty armlets, a shiny head adornment, and high heels. Lastly, Doja's glam for the night stole the show. She transformed her face to look like a cat, highlighted with bold winged eyeliner, blush lip shade, subtle smoky eye shadow, thin eyebrows, rouged cheeks, and mascara on the lashes.
