Ahead of this year’s affair, the SKIMS mogul, 43, hoped to have a special date to accompany her on the red carpet: beloved Birman catChoupettewho belonged to the late fashion designerKarl Lagerfeld, the Costume Institute’s most recent exhibit honoree.
The new episode ofThe Kardashiansdocuments Kardashian’s journey leading up to meeting the famous feline, who she insisted was “key” to her vision.

Despite Kardashian’s best efforts to coo sweet compliments in Choupette’s direction, she, in turn, replied with hisses.
“I think Choupette is playing hard to get. Maybe she needs some time to warm up, you know?” Kardashian says. She even tries to gently pet Choupette, who attempts to bite her (according to the cat’s spokesperson, she does not do well with cuddling).
Ultimately, the two were “not a match.”

What did prove to work in Kardashian’s favor was theSchiaparelli haute couture gownshe actually wore to the red carpet even in May — save for the few pearl beads that popped off during her car ride to the museum venue.
The designer number featured 50,000 freshwater pearls and 16,000 crystal pearls and took one dozen artisans 1,000 hours to craft.
When she arrived solo, Kardashian explained toVoguehow her meeting with Choupette went.
“It takes a little while to warm up to her. She wrote me a sweet note and left it in my room. We spent some time together before this,” she said, adding that their playdate was definitely “a little scary.”
