In a sea of glitz and glamour at the Golden Globes 2025, Demi Moore stood out not just for her dazzling Giorgio Armani Privé gown adorned with Swarovski crystals but also for the absence of her usual furry companion, Pilaf the dog. Known for always having her tiny Chihuahua by her side, the actor admitted that leaving Pilaf at the hotel made her feel incomplete.
Demi Moore misses her Chihuahua, Pilaf, by her side at Golden Globes 2025
While the Golden Globes is typically a star-studded affair, Demi Moore’s most cherished sidekick was notably missing from the glamorous event. Moore, who was nominated for her role in “The Substance,” decided to leave Pilaf, her petite 1.2-pound Chihuahua, behind at the hotel. In an interview with E! Live From the Red Carpet host Zuri Hall, Moore confessed, “I feel naked without her.” Though Pilaf could have attended the event with a credential, Moore felt the bustling environment might be overwhelming for her petite companion.
For Moore, Pilaf is more than just a pet — she is a steadfast partner. During the filming of her nominated film, “The Substance,” Pilaf was a constant presence, providing comfort amid the transformative demands of her role in the body-horror satire. Moore shared that no matter how much her appearance changed in the makeup trailer, Pilaf always recognized her.
From Broadway shows and art openings to dining experiences and museum visits, Pilaf’s status as a service animal has allowed her unprecedented access to places most pets never venture. Moore shared with Vogue last summer the unique situations they’ve navigated together, including the time when museum staff in Vienna nearly asked them to leave the Sisi Museum until Pilaf’s official credentials were located.
Beyond her travels, Pilaf has her own celebrity connections, having attended performances with the likes of Tom Holland and Sarah Paulson, as reported by PEOPLE. Moore humorously describes her pup as a mix “between a goldfish and Bette Davis,” attributing to Pilaf a keen sense of character judgment.
While Pilaf was absent at the 2025 Golden Globes, Moore’s fans can be assured that the bond between them remains as strong as ever, even when circumstances temporarily separate them.
