The pet and muse of renowned designer Karl Lagerfeld, her bio reads on her Instagram account (which has 88,000 followers): "I'm Daddy Karl Lagerfeld's spoiled Chanel pussy, whose maids pamper her every need."

This couture kitty has her own bodyguard, personal medical consultant, personal chef and two maids at her service. She also has her own iPad and travels in a private jet, with possessions packed in her custom-made Louis Vuitton and Goyard trunks.

For Choupette, a fabulous life has gone much further. She has a book about her luxurious lifestyle; she inspired Karl to launch the Monster Choupette collection; she has her own make-up collaboration with Shu Uemura, called Shupette; she has modelled for German car brand Opel; and she has appeared on the cover of numerous fashion magazines in true A-list star mode.
