They say lions rule the animal kingdom, but we're pretty sure that Choupette Lagerfeld is far more worthy of that distinction. At the very least, the feline is fashion royalty — her master is Chanel's creative director, Karl Lagerfeld — and is purr-fectly poised. Her sleek sophistication has not gone unnoticed. She is a model in her own right (remember her makeup collection for Shu Uemura?) and has penned her own book, and celebrities pay homage to her via Halloween costumes.
Unsurprisingly, this classy cat has her own maid, Francoise. Francoise generously divulged seven of Choupette's best beauty secrets to Vogue France, including the keys to achieving such bright eyes and her guilty pleasures. Read on to discover them (and to see some seriously precious pictures of Choupette)!
Her Workout Routine
"Choupette is always on her feet. She loves to jump around and hide and will never turn down a high-speed chase; when I'm kind of her personal trainer. The rest of the time, she practices cat yoga: the Cat Pose, Downward-Facing Dog, the Cobra — she's mastered them all."
Hair and Makeup Tips
"We brush her fur up to six times a day with a metal brush. It's her favorite time of day, especially on the neck and tummy. As for her eyes, they're cleaned daily with Ocryl."
Her Diet
"A combination of two types of dry kibble from Hill's Science Diet Plan: the first, is plant-based to ensure soft and shiny fur while limiting the formation of hairballs, while the second is great for keeping her skin hydrated. From time to time she might treat herself to a little sauce-based dish or a chicken paté — bought at the vet — for a bit of fun. Whatever's on the menu, it's washed down with the finest carbon-filtered water, which she drinks straight from the fountain."
Guilty Pleasures
"While Choupette used to love shrimp, these days she prefers to dip her nose into the butter on her master's table, but only very occasionally. More than she should, anyway."
Her Relaxation Spot
"In her master's dressing room, under his jackets, to be precise. She knows that it's a calm place where she can hide in the shadows."
Her Favorite Place to Shop
"Cat-on.fr — their cardboard scratching posts are perfect for a quick-fix manicure."
Her Bedtime Beauty Routine
"Grooming herself in her master's dressing room, while she waits for him to get ready for the night. Then she hops onto bed where she waits for him to join her before nodding off, sliding right up alongside him. Like any active puss, she wakes up early at around 6:30 a.m., ready for him to prepare her a breakfast of champions."
