Paris Hilton DJs atop double-decker bus at Karl Lagerfeld campaign in New York

Actor and DJ Paris Hilton took over Herald Square on Monday for the late Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring/Summer 2026 campaign celebration, turning the busy Midtown landmark into a fashion and music spectacle.

Choupette, the late designer’s famously adored cat, also made a special appearance through a lifelike costume presentation. This marked the feline’s first New York moment since the Met Gala 2023. Since Lagerfeld passed away in 2019, Choupette has remained part of his legacy and is now cared for by his former housekeeper, who looked after the cat when Lagerfeld was alive.
