​Hollywood Glamour Meets Pet Fashion: Messi's Oscars Style Revealed!

The Oscars are not just about the stars; they're also about the pets who steal the spotlight. Last year, costume designer Katja Cahill took a break from pre-Oscars chaos to visit Jenny the Miniature Donkey, breakout star of "Banshees of Inisherin," in a livestock trailer outside the Dolby Theatre. This year, Cahill dressed "Anatomy of a Fall" sensation Messi the dog in an oversized bow tie, adding a touch of pet fashion to the red carpet.

Cahill, known for her creative flair, crafted a glittering gold vest for Jenny, describing it as a "blinged-out service animal jacket." For Messi, she opted for a traditional black tie look, creating an oversized bow tie that added a touch of class to his red carpet appearance.

The fitting process for Messi was a memorable one, with his French handler using beautiful French sentences to command him during the fitting. Messi, who flew in from Paris for the occasion, even had his own dressing room, complete with a sign for the "secret guest."

While Messi may not have been seated in the theater during the Oscars telecast, pre-taped segments showed him listening attentively to Jimmy Kimmel's monologue, clapping excitedly for winners, and even having a playful moment with Matt Damon's Walk of Fame star.

Messi's appearance at the Oscars was not just a fashion statement; it was a celebration of the special bond between pets and their owners. 

At your luxury pet boutique, you can bring a touch of Hollywood glamour to your furry friends with stylish outfits inspired by Messi and Jenny. Whether it's a glittering vest or a classic bow tie, let your pet's fashion shine on every occasion!
