I just love when she said " It's just exhausting to take yourself so seriously to the point where you're limiting your experience in your life. I love to embrace everything.I don't like to hide things. I don't like to mask myself". - Doja Cat

[@misterae6430]

Kim K take notes!

[@xkatychanx]

'mask myself', she a furry blergh

[@witchescauldron]

Me too, it really resonated ♡

[@MissSparks92]

She says while wearing a cat mask blended by makeup LOL

[@parishads]

while wearing a prosthetic mask.

[@ChitaChaewon]

The idea of turning Doja Cat to a Cat is just straight up genius

[@in_a_tizzy]

You mean “I’m not a CAT, I don’t say MEOW” was a lie???

Doja Cat will go down as a fashion icon cause she is not afraid of taking fashion risks and she has become one of the celebrities people anticipate to see what they wear at events.

[@deecee6262]

HEY QUEEN, icons recognise and support icons

[@Seraphine07F]

Whether she does anything actually "Iconic" we'll ALL be astonished, - but not so far. Karl Lagerfeld was "Iconic" that's why they Honoured him (her wearing that all red get-up & doing nothing but swear/using bad language) - & now this, is not Iconic, nothing like (& she has a long way to go before "Iconic" status might be achieved if ever!)🙏💜🇬🇧💜

Isn't she already a fashion icon for that exact reason??

[@kithraholmes6088]

Lil Nas X was too Abstract, Jarod was to literal, Doja found the middle and executed it FLAWLESSLY

[@chank5059]

Nas was fabulous imo, it was exactly his style, but Doja ate everyone up tbh

[@jordanodwyer6552]

I agree 100% Doja brought fashion and beauty via Choupette, not just a costume, not shock value, just purrrfection

[@stinkyfishy891]

@@chank5059 I agree totally but it also wasn’t on theme at all. Celebrities often don’t follow the theme but since practically everyone did this time made him stand out more

not that it's necessarily a competition but she simply won. nothing short of iconic

EXACTLY its like when kim wore the mugler to the camp gala

The cat face looked weird asf but the outfit was fine.

This is such an iconic and memorable outfit ! Doja Cat is such an interesting artist and she's never scared to fully act out on her ideas. Truly a wonder for the fashion world.

[@unicornzrreal1985]

I feel like she's so humble ♡

[@JBKaton]

You guys are insane

[@yespls4184]

It's not even that creative or interesting as a look and people are talking about it like it's revolutionary.. it's not. It's boring.

[@AffIuent]

Lady Gaga laughed at this comment

[@nightshadow1413]

First off, people are talking about it because it represents along the lines of not being afraid to step out of the norm and to stop letting people's judgement and opinions towards certain things limit you, especially when it comes to your creativity and where you go with it! Secondly, she chose to dress like for herself, not to try and please stuck up, high expectation searching people like you!

[@shrutivashist]

her style is always so distinct and unique, idc what others say i love her!

legit hoped for people to go full on cat girl at the met in tribute of kween choupette and she did NOT disappoint. my favorite look of the entire night, imo.

[@PastorDagSpeaks]

i think the reserved nature of it was perfect

[@melzer1377]

I do wonder if she took pics with Jared Leto in his cat costume 😂😂😂

[@Jay41]

Same! And the ignorance of people claiming this is weird and what not. Did you guys not understand the theme?🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[@andredaniel6658]

​@@Jay41 Kinda obvious they're also not paying attention to the announcements and needed some variety as well for the theme.

[@andreeadoca1550]

They absolutely hit the nail on the head with going for a glam, not feeling like a costume look while also representing a cat. A stark contrast with Leto's look, this was done to perfection.

[@caitlindecker1862]

She is unlike any other. She's already iconic but without a doubt she'll be recognized as one of the legends of this generation.

[@tilatsiddiqui3969]

To the discerning public, isn’t dodgy Dodjah a legendary Helliweird satanick Masonick, entertainment industry created, sellout deceiver, and gender inverted male that’s been masquerading as a female, allegedly? Hopefully dojah remember to tuck his tojah securely so that it doesn’t fall out while on the gala steps, allegedly?

[@iloveegnocchi]

for sure

[@Euphonious.]

Ok but I think Doja was one of the celebs who took this so srsly and we're here for it

[@DeVill3007]

I agree. ❤

Doja is the only girl who isn't lying when she says "I'm not like other girls" 😂

[@user-ws2kb7zh3w]

I’m sure she meant it like a sarcasm, because of the question) “I’m not like other girls” is such a typical phrase to say, when you think about being “feminine” like it is smth to be ashamed of; but Doja totally own it ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@Sallyskin]

Tbh😂😂

[@n4zaaa]

I love how iconic and confident she is like she just doesn't care about people opinions she's herself and that's so unique💕✨✨

[@denarendall]

Very inspired by Doja’s life philosophy. She is living purely to please herself, rather than trying to fit a mould. That must feel so liberating!

[@batangzo]

I love how commited she was for this, very on brand too

[@PastorDagSpeaks]

it was full commitment and refreshing

[@Myaa19]

“You don’t have to follow what people think beauty is” This is so important, I’m so over people acting like she’s crazy when she just expresses herself differently and since that doesn’t fit the male gaze it’s a problem? Nah she’s cool asf

[@alaynadoby8380]

This was Doja's first Met gala and she had the most ICONIC look of the night 😻👏👏👏 . I love how her team always pays attention to details and made this look more GLAM than it just being a costume .

[@Ley_17.03]

This look is so on brand for her. Can't believe its her first met gala. Shes always very artistic and unique. Curious to see more looks form her

[@DoeDitto]

The evolution of doja cat is sooooo natural to the point it seems authentic and not force. Cute kitty! Meow meow 🐈‍⬛

[@kyartistry]

Possibly my favorite look ... definitely top 5! She is so refreshing! She doesn't do fashion to be the sexiest or most talked about (the Kardashians, cough) she just dgaf!
