If you ask us, there weren’t enough Cats-themed anything at the Cats premiere. Taylor Swift, well-known for her love of cats, seemed to miss an opportunity here.
Thankfully, the guys were there to save the event. They served the much-needed feline fashion we craved.

For instance, French dancers and Men In Black: International scene-stealers Larry Nicolas and Laurent Bourgeois, aka Les Twins, arrived wearing fur sneakers and touches of fur on their jackets, shirts, and collars.
We think it’s safe to say the 31-year-old identical twins no longer like dressing the same. However, they opted for matching white-and-gray fur-covered sneakers with untied laces, a bold and playful choice.

So, we’re cheating a little with theater devotee Jordan Roth. But if there’s anyone we can count on to dress on the theme at premieres of musical movie adaptations, it’s Broadway theater owner and producer, Mr. Roth.

The Jujamcyn Theaters president brought life to the Cats premiere in a Viktor & Rolf Fall 2019 Couture coat. He looked like one of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical’s alley cats himself in the gradient-black matted-fur-like creation.
The eight-time Tony Award winner embraced the theme with flair, sporting bold cat-eye eyeliner (naturally) and styling his crimped hair into playful cat-ear shapes.

We only wish that he toted his things in a fur purse instead of a feather-covered one. However, how can we complain, really, when he was practically the only one dressed on-brand at the Cats premiere.
