Met Gala 2023 - Choupette Cat Suit

the cat’s meow!

Jared Leto was the highlight of this year’s Met Gala disguised in the full cat suit we created for him in honor of Choupette, the beloved feline of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Held in top secret status and with four weeks to deliver, our crew captured the essence of the familiar feline including its striking blue eyes.

Along with being easily maneuverable, the costume included an interior cooling system for added comfort.

In order for Jared to reveal his second ensemble the night of the Gala, we engineered the costume so it could be removed quickly and easily.
