Doja Cat & Jared Leto Dressed Like Giant Cats For The Met Gala & Here's Why

The Met Gala is an event for A-listers to wear their best-dressed couture, and last night was no different. With a Karl Lagerfeld theme, some stars, like Doja Cat and Jared Leto, definitely caused a purr — oops, we mean, stir!

Doja and Leto dressed up like none other than the German fashion designer's cat, and all eyes were on these two artists' unique inspiration.

The rapper wore a white sequined cat-suit gown, form-fitted to her body, which wrapped all the way around her head. At the top were cat ears, and her makeup was crafted to look like she had a cat nose connecting to her upper lip.

Leto, on the other hand, held nothing back when trying to figure out who his outfit was inspired by. In fact, he showed up in a full-on cat costume before revealing his final look in black.

The star showed up as a big tortie Birman breed and shocked everyone. He danced on the carpet and, as E! uploaded to TikTok, took photos with his dear friend Anne Hathaway until he stripped the costume off for his official outfit.

So, why dress like a feline when there were others like Kim Kardashian, decked out in a pearl ensemble? The late Lagerfeld has quite the emotional tie to his furry friend.

The former Chanel Creative Director even told CNN he wanted to marry the animal in 2013. He even created an Instagram account for this pet (@chouupetteofficiel), which has 221K followers.

Choupette is so beloved by the designer that when Lagerfeld died in 2019, the feline was rumored by the Daily Mail to be awarded his inheritance — £1.3 million in assets.

However, his assets and funds have not yet been distributed, so his fur-child will have to patiently wait on her purr-fect throne a little bit longer.

Now, the four-legged friend is not only a soon-to-be millionaire but also a fashion icon in her own right, as the hottest stars walked the Met Gala carpet to represent her in honor of her father, Karl Lagerfeld.
