The unconditional love that Karl Lagerfeld felt for his cat Choupette was known worldwide. From the moment this feline entered the life of the German creative, he quickly became one of the richest and most famous pets on the scene.
This 2023, the theme of the famous Met Gala will be Karl Lagerfeld himself, a creative universe that will serve as inspiration for the fashion stars invited to the evening that will feature Choupette as a star guest.
The Kaiser's source of inspiration, the white feline with long hair and blue eyes that aroused so much love in the German quickly became a sensation on social networks as a result of all the eccentricities that were published.
According to The New York Times, Choupette accompanied Lagerfeld on his travels, taking with him silver plates, toiletries, a luxurious Goyard bag, and a custom Louis Vuitton suitcase. She also had a personal chef and a bodyguard.
He was also present at events, catwalks, campaigns and at important moments in the designer's life. His death, on February 19, 2019, marked a before and after in Choupette's history. It was not only the emotional blow that the media highlighted, but that the famous cat would receive part of the Kaiser's inheritance and would become a millionaire. It is estimated that the animal received from 150 to 300 million dollars.
Lagerfeld's wishes included that her faithful housekeeper, Françoise Coçote, would live with her and manage her money. She currently has more than 134,000 followers on Instagram, under the @choupetteofficiel account and her caretaker is in charge of uploading content to keep her community informed of everything.
