The richest, most famous, and fashionable kitten in the world has earned 3 million euros by the age of 3. This cat has amassed a huge fortune and enjoys a lifestyle far more luxurious than many of us.
This year’s spring fashion event, the Met Gala, is still in preparation, and rumors regarding this event have been circulating everywhere.
Previously, foreign media reported that the entire Kardashian family would not be invited this time, but this was denied by friends of the Kardashian family.
The Met Gala is an annual gala event, officially known as the Costume Institute Gala or Met Ball. This event is held to raise funds for the Anna Wintour Costume Center, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum located in New York, USA.
Recently, it was announced that a special guest has been invited to this event. She is Choupette, the cat that Karl Lagerfeld (the German fashion designer, photographer, and artist) regarded as a treasure in the fashion industry!
When mentioning Karl Lagerfeld, one cannot forget his iconic cat, Choupette, who has been associated with him. Among countless pets around the world, Choupette is considered the most royal and fortunate cat for having been adopted by Karl Lagerfeld.
Choupette is regarded as the richest, most famous, and fashionable kitten in the world, having earned 3 million euros by the age of 3. She is considered Karl Lagerfeld’s muse and now sits on a huge fortune, enjoying a luxurious lifestyle, and she will indeed appear on the red carpet looking incredibly adorable.
Not just a pet, Choupette is also viewed as Karl Lagerfeld’s muse and “lover.” The legendary designer even admitted that if he could, he would marry his beloved cat.
On April 10, foreign media reported exclusively that Choupette, the beloved cat of the late legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld, has officially been invited to participate in the annual Met Gala.
Born in 2011, Choupette is now 11 years old and incredibly famous, becoming an inspiration for Karl Lagerfeld in countless products and fashion shoots. The money this cat earns is even higher than the annual salary of many top supermodels.
This year’s Met Gala will take place on May 1 with the theme Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. This event celebrates Karl Lagerfeld’s fashion achievements throughout his life. Therefore, having his “muse” walk the red carpet is entirely appropriate.
A representative also confirmed the invitation Choupette received, adding: “This is an event to commemorate the legacy of Karl Lagerfeld.”
2012 marked the year Choupette began her “modeling career” when she appeared alongside supermodel Laetitia Casta in V Magazine. From that moment, it became clear that she would be a famous cat in the fashion world.
Some speculate that Choupette may become the most anticipated star on the red carpet that night. Michelle Baron, an illustrator who has written a biography about Karl Lagerfeld, stated:
“I can imagine Choupette making a grand entrance on the red carpet with a huge entourage, possibly followed by Anna Wintour – the editor-in-chief of Vogue and chair of the Met Gala, or Grace Coddington – former creative director of Vogue. Alternatively, she could be escorted by Karl Lagerfeld’s personal assistant, Sébastien Jondeau.”
Regardless of how Choupette makes her appearance, provided there are no incidents, she will surely excite many.
Choupette also became a model for Karl Lagerfeld’s new designs, from clothing and accessories to cosmetics. On average, Choupette can earn over 1 million USD each year.
Choupette was born on August 15, 2011. In fact, this cat was not initially raised by Karl Lagerfeld but was the pet of his former rumored boyfriend, model Baptiste Giabiconi.
At that time, Baptiste Giabiconi was out for a while and asked Karl Lagerfeld to take care of the cat. Initially, Karl Lagerfeld felt a bit hesitant, but after seeing the cat, he was enchanted by Choupette.
When Baptiste Giabiconi returned, Karl Lagerfeld “stole” the cat: Sorry, this cat is now mine.
Choupette is a Birman cat, also known as the Sacred Cat of Burma.
Choupette is a Birman cat, also known as the Sacred Cat of Burma. This breed is believed to have been raised in a temple in northern Myanmar before appearing in Europe during World War II. Birman cats were nearly extinct in Europe. In subsequent breeding, most of them were created through crossbreeding between Persian and Siamese cats, resulting in very few purebred cats. Therefore, Choupette may also carry Siamese blood.
Since adopting this cat into his life, Karl Lagerfeld has cherished her as a treasure and pampered her immensely. The name Choupette in French means “little darling.”
Karl Lagerfeld even arranged for two personal assistants to care for Choupette, keeping a diary of her life, and helping her groom to maintain her fluffy and comfortable state throughout the day.
