Demi Moore’s Best Fashion Week Accessory Is Her Dog, Pilaf

Demi Moore turned up at Versace’s spring 2024 show in Milan looking absolutely fabulous. The actor wore a plunging navy blazer embellished with beaded embroidery, gold beaded fringe trousers, and a pair of silver metallic heels. But her most exciting accessory this season has been her impossibly tiny dog, Pilaf, who is about the size of a Jacquemus Le Bambino bag.

The nearly-three-year-old chihuahua is rivalling seasoned fashion editors with his fast-growing status as a fashion week VIP. The well-travelled dog has most recently been spotted at Milan Fashion Week, enjoying the Versace show from Moore’s lap. Among other notable front row attendees (including Cole Sprouse, Dwayne Wade, and Gabrielle Union) was Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s dog, Miranda (whom Pilaf even tried to say hello to during the show).

Pilaf tends to get A-list treatment when he attends fashion events. He travelled with his owner to Stockholm earlier in the summer for Max Mara’s resort show. For the label’s Midsommar welcome dinner, Pilaf even got his own custom Max Mara sling, which Moore carried him in through the evening. When Moore attended Dior’s menswear show this past summer, the brand’s menswear director Kim Jones (Moore and Pilaf’s Versace seat mate) even created a custom pink and white pinstriped bow embellished with gems for the dog (who, sadly, did not attend).

While he may not always be invited to sit front row, don’t cry for Pilaf – he’s still reaping the benefits of his owner’s fashion week plans. Moore’s Instagram has chronicled her life with the chihuahua, including when he chilled in her shirt while she got a manicure in Milan before the Versace show. She also took Pilaf to see the Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art before it closed.

Pilaf Moore is living a better life than most: he’s gotten a tour of the Louvre, attends horse races, regularly flies in style, and hangs on Jeff Bezos’s superyacht. While he may not be a welcome guest at all fashion events, perhaps due to his unpredictable tendencies to bark or poop, Pilaf is becoming something of a socialite. And hey, he just touched down in Paris, so there’s still time for another Pilaf and Demi Moore sighting at Paris Fashion Week.
