Kim Kardashianis getting ready for the 2023Met Gala.
TheSKIMSmogul, 42, headed to the lateKarl Lagerfeld’s office in Paris this week, where she got some “inspiration” for the fundraising event and hung out with the fashion designer’s iconic pet catChoupette.
In a series of snapshots shared on her Instagram Wednesday, the mom of four can be seen checking out a selection of designs and sketches pinned on a wall.
“Had a date with @choupetteofficiel in Paris. We then spent some time at @karllagerfeld’s office to get a little inspiration for the Met,” she captioned the carousel of photos, which offer a glimpse of Lagerfeld’s former workplace.
Kardashian, who donned a black PVC jacket and black boots, also laid on a grand-looking bed with Choupette and pouted for the camera as she took selfies with Lagerfeld’s furry friend.
According toVogue, which hosts the Met Gala every year, the theme for this year’s benefit is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”. The publication’s website says the evening, which is taking place on May 1, will “honor Karl Lagerfeld, who was a regular attendee at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute.”
Lagerfeld, whodied in February 2019at the age of 85, was the creative director of Chanel for 35 years. He was also the creative director of the Italian fashion house Fendi.

Beyondcriticism for her severe diet— Kardashianrevealed that she lost 16 lbsin three weeks in order to wear the dress — she also faced pushback for wearing the historically significant (and very fragile) garment in the first place.
There were laterallegationsthat the dress was damaged after Kardashian wore it, though Ripley’s, who lent her the dress,denied any damage to the gown.
“To me it was like, ‘OK,Christian Balecan do it for a movie role and that is acceptable,'“Kardashian later toldThe New York Timesof losing weight to fit into the dress. “EvenRenée Zellwegergained weight for a role. It’s all the same to me.”
The 2022 Met Gala also marked the first year that Kardashian’s sistersKhloé KardashianandKourtney Kardashianwalked the red carpet.
