The exhibition, attended by thousands worldwide, honours the life and legacy of the late designer, who passed away in February 2019, and features over 150 sketches and creative pieces by Lagerfeld. Doja Cat, who is half-South African (born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini), paid tribute to fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld’s 11-year-old beloved cat, Choupette — with a showstopping silver Oscar de la Renta gown which wrapped into a hood complete with cat ears and a cascading long train of white feathers. She completed the look with extended feline eye makeup by Ernesto Casillas, nose prosthetics, as well as sharp cat claws added to the tips of her fingernails.

“I feel nice,” said the 27-year-old rapper to Vogue live stream correspondent La La Anthony. “I feel relaxed here.”
