Claudia Schiffer is used to turning heads during public appearances as one of the world’s most famous supermodels – but as she attended a glitzy film premiere last night, it was her plus one who caught the attention of fans.
The German beauty, 53, appeared on the red carpet in Leicester Square at the premiere of her husband Matthew Vaughan’s film Argylle while carrying her cat, Chip, in her backpack.
Chip, who has his own Instagram account, is a star in his own right after being cast in Argylle – and thanks to his famous owners, he lives a pretty cushy lifestyle.
The Scottish Fold feline is often pictured hanging out with A-listers including fellow cast members Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard.
When he’s not working or mingling, the silver cat is treated to the very best food and drink – and recently demonstrated he loves to sip high grade Gold Top Milk when he’s at home.
Claudia Schiffer’s cat Chip stole the show on the red carpet last night as he accompanied his mother Claudia Schiffer to the premiere of Argylle
And he’s not the only pampered puss in the celebrity circuit, as many stars ensure their cats (and dogs) live as lavishly as they possibly can.
Here, FEMAIL reveals Chip’s fellow spoiled pets in the celebrity world, who enjoy lives many of us can only dream of…
Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button
Taylor Swift’s three cats, Olivia Benson, Meredith Grey and Benjamin button are worth almost as much as their superstar owner
Taylor Swift’s Scottish Fold cat Olivia Benson (pictured) is reported to have a net worth of around $97 million
The superstar often posts cat updates on Instagram, including photos of Olivia (pictured), Meredith and Benjamin
Taylor Swift is one of the most successful music artists in history and is now estimated to be worth $1.1 billion, according to Forbes.
It’s a phenomenal achievement for any human being – but it’s the net worth of her felines that have really raised eyebrows among fans.
Olivia Benson, the Scottish Fold cat plastered over Swift’s Instagram, is reportedly worth around $97 million – while her brother Benjamin Button and sister Meredith Grey are also worth a pretty penny.
They have featured in both her music videos and feature films including Deadpool 2, alongside Ryan Reynolds.
When her owner was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2023, she was accompanied in the photoshoot by Benjamin Button in the shot that appeared on the cover.
She joked on X/Twitter: ‘Time Magazine: We’d like to name you Person of the Yea-
‘Me: Can I bring my cat.’
Guy Markle
Despite having a difficult start to life, Guy the beagle has now lucked out by becoming a royal pooch after he was adopted by Meghan Markle
After Meghan met Prince Harry, Guy the beagle officially became a royal pooch and moved to Kensington Palace
Guy the beagle had a difficult start to life after being abandoned in woodland in the US state of Kentucky – but it ended up being the start of a journey to becoming royalty.
After being rescued from the woodland, Guy found himself at A Dog’s Dream Rescue shelter in Toronto, Canada – where he was adopted by Meghan Markle, then starring in legal drama Suits.
While living with the famous actress, Guy’s life would no doubt have been luxurious – but he lucked out yet again when Meghan met Prince Harry, married into the Royal Family and moved to Kensington Palace.
After becoming a royal pooch, Guy rubbed shoulders with very exclusive people – and was even spotted being driven to Windsor for the Sussexes’ wedding next to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
‘Guy was living in a shelter after being found lost in a Kentucky forest, and now he’s living in a palace,’ said Dolores Doherty, who runs A Dog’s Dream Rescue and arranged to have Guy driven 500 miles to Canada by a relay of volunteer drivers.
‘It’s a fairytale, a real rags to riches story,’ she told AFP of the incredible story.
Meghan and Harry left the UK in 2020 and stepped down as working royals to start a new life in California – but it’s likely Guy is still living the life of luxury as he now resides in the Sussexes’ $14 million Montecito mansion.
Kuma Theroux
Justin Theroux’s pit bull Kuma has invitations to the hottest events in town and accompanied her owner to the White House Correspondents Dinner last year
When she’s not rubbing shoulders with very important politicians, Kuma accompanies Justin around the world on film sets
Hollywood heartthrob Justin Theroux sent a cohort of swooning fans into overdrive when it was announced in 2018 that he was divorcing his wife Jennifer Aniston – but it soon became clear any woman vying for his affections would have to compete with his adorable pooch, Kuma.
The grey pit bull was rescued by the actor from the Texas-based organization called A Chance To Bloom Dog Rescue in 2018.
The non-profit rescued her from a kill shelter shortly after she was found among the destruction left behind by Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
Although she had a difficult start to life, Kuma is now living in luxury and enjoys an A-list lifestyle with her owner.
In addition to eating with Theroux at the dinner table and feasting on delicious-looking meals fit for a human, she also travels around the world with him on global film sets.
Last year, she even visited The White House where she accompanied Theroux to the annual Correspondents’ Dinner.
Choupette Lagerfeld
Choupette Lagerfeld is the beloved cat of the late Karl, creative director of Chanel – and after his death, she inherited $1.5 million from her owner
The 11-year-old Birman, with stunning blue eyes, lives a life of luxury in her Paris apartment with her full-time carer
Choupette was the star of the show at last year’s Met Gala, as Jared Leto dressed up as a giant version of her
Choupette is a stunning Birman cat with blue eyes and a well-kept coat – and she also inherited $1.5 million from her late owner, Karl Lagerfeld, when he died in 2019.
Choupette’s owner may have been one of the most influential figures in fashion history, but his feline companion has become famous in her own right, racking up more than 160,000 followers on her Instagram account and she has her own agent.
Although she might have been left heartbroken by the death of her owner, the feline has certainly bounced back as she lives the good life in a Paris apartment with her caretaker Françoise Caçote.
Caçote previously told the Wall Street Journal that Choupette is an early riser and is treated to her fur being brushed more than once a day.
When she’s not doing that, Choupette is amusing herself with Chanel paper bags and ribbons for toys.
Previously Lagerfeld said Choupette’s presence in his life made him ‘less selfish,’ telling The Cut: ‘Maybe I became a better person perhaps, I don’t know.’
‘She is the centre of the world. If you saw her, you would understand. She is kind of Greta Garbo,’ he added elsewhere during the interview.
Choupette has rubbed shoulders with A-listers at very exclusive events over the years – and was the star of the show in more ways than one at last year’s Met Gala.
The theme of the 2023 event was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, paying tribute to the late Chanel creative director and his legacy – which of course, includes Choupette herself.
Indeed the furry feline was the inspiration behind many of the lavish outfits worn to the event – including Jared Leto, who simply dressed up as her.
Huxley Day
Huxley the ginger tom might not be appearing on the red carpets (yet) but he is certainly a catfluencer in his own right
Huxley is the beloved pet of author and podcaster Elizabeth Day who posts regular updates about his adventures for her followers
Handsome Huxley is known to dine on venison and duck when he is at home – and he appears to enjoy sitting at the dinner table
Huxley the cat might not be gracing red carpets (yet), but the ginger tom still enjoys a pampered lifestyle and is smothered with love by his owner, author and podcaster Elizabeth Day.
With a strong career in book promotion for his mother, he has fronted informal advertisements for Day’s newest releases, including Friendaholic, which was published last year.
When he’s not hard at work as a catfluencer, Huxley is known to enjoy sitting down, sunbathing and making the most of cuddles as he snuggles up with his mother.
Ahead of Christmas last year, Day revealed her feline would be receiving ‘an assortment of catnip toys’ on the big day.
And shortly before that, he has fronted campaigns for Edgard Cooper, a brand which promotes real fresh meat in cat food – suggesting he enjoys a very lavish diet.
Day previously revealed he dines on dishes such as venison and duck pate – and he even sits at the dinner table just like his human counterparts.
Ted Clarke
Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke is one of the most in-demand stars in the industry – but she still makes plenty of time for her number one man.
Ted the Daschund lives a very lavish lifestyle with his owner Emilia and is certainly the apple of her eye.
Last year, to celebrate his second birthday, the actress threw him a huge celebration – complete with a cake containing a ‘2’ candle which she had baked herself.
She dressed the pampered pooch in a pale blue ruffled collar and party hat for the celebration.
‘Yes, I am now this lady,’ jokes Emilia. ‘Baking ain’t just for humans — I mean, look at him.’
On Instagram, she previously gushed: ‘He physically cannot stop being the MOST BEAUTIFUL PUPPY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Everyone meet Ted.
‘Super Ted. My new main squeeze. Light of my goddamn life.’
Calippo and Dorito Sheeran
Calippo and Dorito Sheeran have rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous people in the world – but they appear unfazed in the presence of music royalty
The pair are known to con their owners out of food, forcing Ed to write a note warning others not to feed the already very well-fed felines
Ed Sheeran is most certainly a cat person, and his felines Calippo and Dorito are proof of it.
The pampered pair, who have their own Instagram account to document their adventures, spend their days in recording studios like their owner and have been known to unwind with a gin or two.
As expected, the pair can be quite mischievous when left to their own devices and have knocked over a few decorative vases in their time.
The well-fed felines have also used their wiles to trick humans into feeding them even when their bellies are full.
In 2020, a photo of an expectant Dorito was posted onto the cats’ joint account as she gave her owners ‘the eyes’ in a bid to be fed.
An accompanying note read: ‘Don’t feed the cats!!! Even if Dorito gives you “the eyes”… she has a bad tum… naughty puss…’
The pair have rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous faces in the music industry including Elton John – although they’re so famous in their own right, they seemed unfazed to be in the presence of music royalty.
Roscoe Hamilton
Roscoe Hamilton is the beloved dog of F1 driver Lewis – and much like his father, he travels in style
Roscoe accompanies Lewis around the world – and has even spent time in recording studios with the F1 driver
Only the best! The pampered pooch, who has a plant-based diet, enjoys room service wherever he travels
Roscoe the English bulldog lives life in the fast lane – not least because his owner is renowned F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.
Roscoe, who has his own Instagram account, enjoys skateboarding trips, lavish hotel breakfasts (room service) of course, and only the best mode of travel when following his owner around the world.
In 2021, Hamilton landed himself in hot water after boasting about Roscoe’s vegan diet – but travelling on a private jet, which likely counter-balanced any benefit to his carbon footprint.
Speaking as the pooch, he said: ‘I loves beings a vegans. I gets all the vegetables ands fruits I wants.
‘My favs are watermelons ands pineapples. I’ve lost 5kgs ands feels betters thans evers.’
But private jets have huge carbon footprints due to them having fewer people flying on them.
One fan responded: ‘Talks about saving the environment whilst flying his dogs around first class/on private jets.
‘If everyone had a carbon footprint as big as Lewis Hamilton we wouldn’t have an earth left.’
