It was one the most celebrated looks from the Met Gala 2023: Lil Nas X painted silver in nothing but a thong, platforms, over 200,000 Swarovski crystals and encrusted whiskers; an overtly sexy homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette. The reaction has been overwhelmingly positive.
Had this been Sam Smith, with two glittery cheeks on full display and separated only by a slither of a G-string, I expect the reaction would have been very different.
