A Day In The Life of Choupette

Karl Lagerfeld's longtime companion shares her morning rituals, her philosophy on affection, and why she has never once been surprised by her own fame.

The first Monday in May is a celebration, and no one embodies it quite like fashion’s most beloved cat, Choupette.

She offers a glimpse into her famously refined life, from double breakfasts on the balcony and carefully moderated affection to a Hublot collaboration and a permanent suite at the Hôtel de Crillon. Calm, discerning, and entirely unsurprised by her own fame, she remains the industry’s most effortlessly chic muse.

My morning routine includes:

An early breakfast at 6:30am on the balcony, followed by a nap, then a second breakfast at 8:30am. The morning continues with grooming, eye care, and a measured dose of affection.

One thing I never leave home without is:

My eye drops, my brush, a selection of my favorite kibble, my water fountain, and at least one scratching post.

A fashion icon from the past that inspires me:

My father, Karl Lagerfeld, naturally.

A hidden talent that I have is:

Adapting effortlessly to any environment and observing everything without ever seeming impressed.

One of my most memorable collaborations is:

My collaboration with Hublot, blending precision, design, and feline elegance.

I would describe my personal style as:

Not what I wear, but how I exist, calm, distant, and fully aware of where I come from.

A perfect day looks like this:

Waking slowly in sunlight, followed by a satisfying meal. Affection, in moderation. The afternoon is reserved for long naps, quiet observation, and, of course, more food, with a playful moment with Siana before ending the day as it should be, peacefully, back to sleep.

The best hotel I have ever been to is:

The Hôtel de Crillon, where my father had his suite and I had my own room.

To me, being a ‘chic cat’ means:

Appearing in Assouline’s Chic Cats and not being surprised by it.
