The actress left her loyal Chihuahua, Pilaf, at the hotel, describing her absence as a “naked” feeling.
Demi Moore turned heads at the Golden Globes 2025 in a stunning Giorgio Armani Privé gown adorned with Swarovski crystals, but her most loyal companion, Pilaf the Chihuahua, was notably absent from the red carpet. The 62-year-old actress, often seen with Pilaf at high-profile events, admitted she felt a “little naked” without her furry friend by her side.
Moore spoke to E! Live From the Red Carpet about the decision to leave Pilaf at her hotel. “I sadly had to leave her up in the hotel,” Moore shared. “We could have gotten her [a credential], but I felt like it might’ve been a little much for her.”

Reflecting on their relationship, Moore revealed the unique connection they share. “She was with me the entire time we shot The Substance, and the most magical thing is, regardless of the prosthetics, no matter what I came back from the makeup trailer looking like, she always knew it was me. That tells me she knows who I really am, no matter what,” Moore said with a smile.
Pilaf’s absence didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who are used to seeing the service animal accompanying Moore to a variety of venues. From Broadway shows and museums to the French Open and art galleries, Pilaf has been a constant presence in Moore’s life. In a previous interview with Vogue, Moore described the perks of having Pilaf as a service animal: “I can take Pilaf everywhere. She’s flown to Europe 14 times and has been to countless events with me.”
The actress’s attachment to Pilaf is more than just about companionship—it’s a symbol of stability and support during a transformative period in her life. Pilaf was a constant source of comfort during the filming of The Substance, where Moore took on a demanding body-horror role. Her performance in the film has earned her a nomination for Best Female Performer in a Comedy Film at this year’s Golden Globes, marking another milestone in her storied career.
While Moore dazzled on the red carpet, she made it clear that Pilaf was never far from her thoughts. “I feel naked without her,” Moore confessed, highlighting the deep emotional bond she shares with her Chihuahua.
Moore’s look for the evening drew widespread acclaim. The Giorgio Armani Privé gown, shimmering with Swarovski crystals, perfectly complemented her elegant style. But despite the glamour, Moore’s candid comments about missing Pilaf reminded everyone of the down-to-earth personality behind the Hollywood icon.
The actress also took time to reflect on the lessons Pilaf has taught her. “She reminds me to be present, to appreciate the simple things,” Moore said in a previous interview. “She’s small but mighty, and she’s been with me through so much.”
As the Golden Globes celebrated the best in film and television, Moore’s heartfelt tribute to her dog offered a touching reminder of the unique connections that ground even the biggest stars. Pilaf may not have been on the red carpet, but her presence was clearly felt in Moore’s heart.
