Her name is Choupette Lagerfeld.

It wasnt just coincidence, however.

The choice was 100% on-brand for the night let me explain why.

The blue-eyed white Burmese kitty is the beloved offspring of the late designer.

Kim Kardashian even recentlyposted a picwith her.

Choupette inspired a limited edition makeupcollab with Shu Uemuraand the campaign was shot by Lagerfeld himself.

Among them wasDoja Cat, who showed up in full feline prosthetics.
