She’s a supermeowdel.

Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Choupette, makes an adorable appearance in the May 2023 Vogue cover story in honor of the late designer.

Naomi Campbell holds the famous feline on a Parisian bridge in the spread, posing in a black Balmain trouser suit and a white shirt featuring a tribute to Lagerfeld’s signature black tie.

The cat model looks extra fluffy in the photo as she looks straight at the camera, curling up her feet as she relaxes in the supermodel’s arms.

Campbell and Choupette join a range of Lagerfeld’s muses in the celebration, including Kendall Jenner, who once posed with the famous cat in Vogue’s 2015 September issue.

Indeed, Choupette, who was born in August 2011, is no stranger to a high-fashion spread.

She’s appeared on the cover of various international editions of Vogue with everyone from Linda Evangelista to Gisele Bündchen and posed with her late dad — complete with cat ears on his head — for Harper’s Bazaar UK in 2013.

With this year’s Met Gala theme dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld, many are speculating that Choupette might make an appearance — with Choupette’s agent exclusively confirming to The Post that she has been invited.

While an invite’s been extended, Choupette’s agent — who was hired by the feline’s new owner Françoise, who took over her care duties and social media presence in 2019 — stopped short of promising an appearance.

“She got the invitation,” the My Pet Agency owner said, adding, “It’s an event in honor of the legacy of Karl, and Choupette is obviously a central part of the legacy.”

Along with the gala itself, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will stage an exhibition called “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” chronicling Choupette’s father’s career from 1954 to 2019.

The cat, who is a blue-cream tortie Birman, has continued to live a luxe lifestyle since Lagerfeld died at the age of 85 in 2019 — and it’s even been said that she was one of the heirs of the Chanel designer’s estimated $125 million fortune.

Whether it’s flying on private planes, traveling in a Louis Vuitton carrier or enjoying an extra-fancy Christmas, this pampered pet knows how to live large.

As for the Met Gala, it remains to be seen if Choupette makes New York her catwalk on May 1.
