A cockroach was seen scurrying onto the steps of the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as celebrities arrived. The insect got its fifteen minutes of fame as a photographer quickly got few shots of the unusual celebrity. However, it soon died after someone stepped on it.

Karl Largerfeld’s pet, Choupette’s lookalike

While the iconic designer’s favourite pet, Choupette, decided to stay home and not attend the fashion event, a huge feline resembling like it arrived on the red carpet, leaving everyone confused. Later, it turned out to be actor Jared Leto, who said it was his way of honouring Lagerfeld.

Stylish ode to Choupette

Singer Doja Cat appeared on the red carpet in stylish avatar of a cat woman, wearing an elaborate white gown, completed with a prosthetic mask over her face, for the occasion. And in an attempt to commit to her role wholeheartedly, was only heard meowing during the interviews.

Ornate look with paint

American rapper, Lil Nas X, made heads turn at the event with his unusual look – wearing just a thong – to go with silver body paint encrusted with pearls and rhinestones, and matching shiny heels. Perfected with several ornamental whiskers, the musician’s bejeweled mask covered his entire face, was yet another Choupette-inspired look of the night.
