Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette wasn't a fan of Jared Leto's Met Gala look because she 'doesn't like rivals'

• Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld's beloved cat, wasn't a fan of Jared Leto's Met Gala replica costume of her.
• That's because, according to her agent, she "doesn't like rivals."

Choupette has finally weighed in on Jared Leto's bizarre cat costume paying tribute to her at the Met Gala — and she was unimpressed.

At Monday night's annual Met Gala dedicated to the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, some celebrities took the opportunity to honor Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette, through their style.

The most viral Choupette-inspired look of the night was Jared Leto's lifelike full-body cat suit that looked strikingly like Choupette herself.

Choupette is a white, long-haired Birman cat with blue eyes, who was left a chunk of Lagerfeld's fortune after his death in 2019.

But the most famous cat in fashion said through her agent that she wasn't a huge fan of Leto's replica costume because she "doesn't like rivals."

"I think Jared's outfit was definitely good," Choupette's agent, Lucas Bérullier from My Pet Agency, told Insider. "But, I don't think it was [Choupette's] favorite in the way that Choupette doesn't like rivals. She's very fierce. She's very competitive. She's very much like Karl."

Bérullier said that if Choupette had seen Leto's costume for herself in person, "She would have snubbed him," adding she would have seen him as just another fan trying to get her attention.

"She'd pretend that [Leto] doesn't matter, that he's not relevant because he's not the real Choupette," Bérullier said.

Bérullier also said that while Leto's costume did get nearly every detail correct, down to the specific markings on Choupette's face, it missed one major feature: Choupette stands on four legs, not two.

One of Choupette's favorite outfits of the night though was not dedicated to her at all, Bérullier said — it was Kim Kardashian's.

Bérullier said Choupette and Kardashian had a "strong connection" when they met last week.

As for what Karl Lagerfeld himself would have thought of all the Choupette tributes, Bérullier said he would have laughed with the rest of us.

"I think he would've been proud and very emotional to see that the world could be touched by an animal," Bérullier told Insider, "The same way that he was touched by an animal."
