It was her invitation to the famous Met Gala and going unnoticed was not an option. Doja Cat stepped onto the grand and imposing staircase of the Metropolitan Museum in New York and immediately the cameras stopped to take the best snapshots that immortalized one of the iconic moments of the night.

The singer was inspired by Lagerfeld’s famous cat, Choupette, and was characterized as the feline in a stunning beaded Oscar de la Renta gown that featured a hood with cat ears. Fantasy reserved for the beauty look, with makeup that seemed to come straight out of the movie starring Taylor Swift, Cats.

“I thought I would be very nervous, but no. I am relaxed, this is a lot of fun, ”Doja Cat said when asked about those nerves before going up the steps of the MET. Proud to represent that small cast of guests who dare to go a step beyond what is strictly correct in stylistic levels, the artist took the risk and won.

It is also worth noting the nails in the form of “claws” that completed her look and that gave the whole that final touch. With this, the rapper paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld with whom she was her soul mate, her great unconditional love. The relationship between the dressmaker and his feline, who inherited a million-dollar fortune, was known to everyone, to the surprise of many. Anna Wintour herself decided to invite her to the event, in honor of Karl, and she has become the first cat invited to the Met Gala.

Another of the moments that Doja Cat starred in and that was perfectly captured by the television cameras, she is seen in the background, behind Emma Chamberlain, vaping while waiting for her turn for an interview.

This moment has quickly become the most viral scene since smoking or, failing that, vaping is totally prohibited within the immediate vicinity of the museum. “A cat vaping,” joked some users on Twitter.
