Doja Cat's Met Gala Evolution from Choupette to Costume Art
Doja Cat is set to make her fourth Met Gala appearance in 2026, having risen from first-time attendee in 2023 to host committee member and Vogue cover star. For the 2023 theme 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,' she wore a custom Oscar de la Renta gown with facial prosthetics to resemble Lagerfeld's cat Choupette. In 2024, under the theme 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' she arrived at The Mark Hotel in a towel before changing into a Vetements wet look dress. For 2025's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' she wore a custom Marc Jacobs block-and-tackle suit-cum-leotard with glittering pinstripes and a yellow leopard patch. Designer Marc Jacobs praised her collaborative approach and ability to pull off any look. The 2026 theme is 'Costume Art,' and Doja Cat may explore sculptural '80s styles or debut an entirely new aesthetic.
