Karl Lagerfeld's Feline Muse Choupette Skips Met Gala 2023.

Karl Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette, will not be attending the Met Gala in his honor, according to an Instagram post from her account. The white Birmin with stunning blue eyes and creamy markings akin to baked Alaska was born Aug. 15, 2011, and quickly became an international star with her own maids, bodyguards, custom Louis Vuitton carriers, silver bowls, and a jet-set lifestyle. Lagerfeld referred to Choupette as the "Garbo of cats" and had a handful of women in his life he lovingly referred to as "my choupettes," including Vanessa Paradis and her daughter with Johnny Depp, Lily-Rose.
