Doja Cat: Feline-Inspired Oscar de la Renta Tribute
Doja Cat honored Karl Lagerfeld’s cherished cat, Choupette, donning a unique Oscar de la Renta creation. The sparkly silver gown’s backless design and feathery train appeared conventional initially. Yet, the details revealed the true homage.
The hood featured cat ears, and Doja Cat‘s prosthetics and makeup completed the transformation. A kitten nose, cat eye makeup, and curved, claw-like nails lent a Cats-esque realism to her look, perfectly embodying Choupette.
Dua Lipa and Doja Cat captivated fashion aficionados at the Met Gala with their distinct styles. Dua Lipa‘s chic Chanel ensemble and Doja Cat‘s Lagerfeld-inspired tribute showcased fashion and art’s exquisite fusion. Keep an eye on our blog for more exceptional Met Gala highlights.
