Both the actor and the singer Doja Cat opted for the cat look in a New York that immediately associated them with ‘Cats’, but the reality is that they were honoring a real cat, Choupette.
The 2023 Met Gala has left us great moments on the red carpet. Many film and television stars have attended the famous fashion gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to honor the designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019. We have already told you about the return of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, although very out of character The Last of Us, Joel and Ellie. Quite the opposite has seemed to us Jenna Ortega, who with her look at this 2023 Met Gala seemed to advance season 2 of ‘Wednesday’.
However, if the Met Gala has become so famous beyond fashion fans, it is for its elaborate and often viral looks. And this year will be remembered for the cat look of the singer Doja Cat and the singer and actor Jared Leto. The first looks like she’s fresh out of doing ‘Cats’ on Broadway.
Beyond the fact that her artistic surname is Cat, the truth is that few understood the look, since the singer has no relationship with the work (Taylor Swift, who did appear, did not go to the gala). But it is that then Jared Leto arrived and already made many believe that the theme of the night was cats and not the legacy of Karl Lagerfeld.
The explanation is simple and no, it has nothing to do with the fact that Jared Leto is going to be in the sequel to ‘Cats’ (which is not going to exist unless someone in Hollywood loses their mind). The reason is Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld’s cat. Doja Cat was transformed into a white cat, but Jared Leto went from makeup and decided directly to make a giant suit of the designer’s iconic white cat.
What we are very clear about is that Jared Leto and his team of stylists for the Met Gala like the concept of dressing up more than dressing up. This year she wasn’t carrying her own head under her arm, but she did have to spend most of the night with Choupette’s giant, white, furry head to breathe (she was perfectly made up so we understand she planned to reveal her face under the disguise).
We, by the way, remind you that we have a gallery with more than 140 movie cats, or what is the same, with more than 140 movies with cats. And they are few compared to the times that our beloved feline friends have blessed the seventh art. Apparently, as Jared Leto has reminded us, also fashionable. Of course, another version of ‘Cats’ is not necessary, not even if Jared Leto and Doja Cat sign up, please.
