A gigantic Burmese cat appears on the steps of the 2023 Met Gala. With soft white fur and blue eyes, he resembles Choupette, the mascot of designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 and was honored this year at the Metropolitan gala in New York. The cat begins to gesticulate and pose for the photographers, who wonder who is inside the costume. They soon discover it: it is the actor and musician Jared Leto.
