Jared Leto dresses up as Karl Lagerfeld’s famed cat Choupette at Met Gala 2023

Talk about a catsuit.

Jared Leto, 51, paid homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette at the 2023 Met Gala Monday night.

The actor and musician — already notorious for his outlandish Met costumes of years past — arrived wearing a full white, furry cat character costume, only revealing he was underneath further down the carpet.

The theme of this year’s Costume Institute exhibition is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” and Leto’s costume matches the real-life Choupette’s piercing blue eyes and brown and pink nose.

He eventually took the costume off and posed for more pics in a black ensemble, complete with a matching cape.

The Post has contacted reps for Leto for comment.

Leto shared a sweet memory of Lagerfeld with E!

“I’m playing Karl in a film,” he reminded reporters about an upcoming biopic centered on the designer.

“The first time I met him, I said to him, ‘You know, one day I’ve got to be you on film.’ That he said to me, ‘Only you, my love. Only you.”

“A million thanks to all of you my fans, animal lovers & Daddy’s admirers. You have all shown the kindest enthusiasm and unconditional support … Many people have invited me to walk the red carpet of the #MetGala2023 in tribute to Daddy, but we preferred to stay peacefully & cozy at home,” she announced.

“We pay tribute to my Daddy every day since his parting and we are very moved to see one more day dedicated to him. With love, forever Choupette,” the cat signed off.
