In 2023, for the event’s “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” theme, Doja served major cattitude in a custom beaded Oscar de la Renta gown which had a dramatic feathered train and a cat-ear hood. She further put the “cat” in Doja Cat by wearing cat-eye eyeliner, a cat nose and a gemstone on the center of her forehead in of the late designer’s famed cat Choupette.

The following year, Doja went for a sexier look in a wet T-shirt dress that hugged her curves. She further channeled the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" exhibition with mascara smears running down her face. 

She later explained the decision behind her dress, noting that she ultimately wanted to stand out.

"I know that people were going to do flowers, so my flower of choice was the most-used flower and it's cotton," she told Entertainment Tonight in 2024. "So, I wanted to do a white T-shirt because a white T-shirt is timeless and felt very poetic, and I knew it wasn't really going to blend in. I really don't like to blend in."

As for last year’s Met Gala, Doja rocked a structured pinstripe blazer embellished with a leopard-print corset motif to meet the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme and "Tailored for You" dress code. She completed the look with black tights—sans pants—a fur cap and a bold red lip.
