Not since Karl Lagerfeld and Choupette has a celebrity pet/parent duo been as embraced by the fashion world as Demi and Pilaf Moore. With a total of nine dogs living under her roof currently, the actor, producer, and long-time style star is a vocal animal welfare advocate. But her 1.5 pound chihuahua is the lucky one who’s been jet setting all over the globe, tagging along with Demi everywhere from Paris Fashion Week to Cannes Film Festival and beyond. But don’t call the itty-bitty pup Demi’s accessory. “She’s a star,” the Feud actor told The Late Show host Stephen Colbert during a February 2024 appearance. “The truth is, I am her accessory.”
Due to her small size and fragility, Pilaf travels best snuggled up close to her human companion — in a custom Max Mara sling, of course. And that’s not the only high fashion gift she’s been given. Couture collars, Chopard necklaces, and Gucci hats are all a part of the petite pooch’s ever-growing wardrobe. Still though, when she’s attending fashion shows, film festivals, and TV appearances, Demi’s furry friend lets her human be the better dressed. Instead, she typically arrives sans vêtements.
Pilaf (nicknamed “mouse”) has amassed nearly 21,000 followers on Instagram and has made a ton of A-list friends in her three short years on this planet. So far she’s been lucky to hang out with celebrities like Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, Debbie Harry, Sarah Paulson, Jeremy Allen White, as well as fashion elite including Carolina Herrera’s creative director Wes Gordon, Dior Homme/Fendi Artistic Director Kim Jones, and designer Pierpaolo Piccioli (she’s even befriended his pup, Miranda).
With her tiny stature, and signature tongue-out expression, she makes an impression everywhere she goes, so we can continue to expect to see her all over the world with her chic companion (especially since Demi has so many new and exciting projects). In the meantime, we’ve listed some of the two’s most memorable fashion moments to date — from sitting front row at the most anticipated runways to stopping by high-end pop-ups and more.
