There’s no fashion faux-pas at this show – just fashion for paws!

Pearl, the shortest dog living, made headlines this month when she met up with the tallest living dog (male), and the pair had a fantastic puppy playdate.

But the 3.3 in tall chihuahua from Orlando, Florida, really got the chance to show off her personality in an adorable fashion photoshoot with the Guinness World Records team.

“She’s really demanding. She’s strong, and opinionated, and she can tell you what she wants,” said Vanesa Semler, Pearl’s proud owner. 

“She’s small in size, but she has a big personality!”

And this diva has got good taste – Pearl loves being dressed up… as long as it’s fashionable.

The devil may wear Prada, but this diva wears Gucci.

“Pearl’s wardrobe, I think, is bigger than mine,” said Vanesa. “She loves clothing, I think because she’s always cold.

“She actually chooses what she wants to wear each day, and it’s really funny for me because I can actually see her mood that day.”

Pearl gets carried by the Semler family in a Louis Vuitton bag, and usually has her nails painted. She’s been known to rock dresses, two-piece sets, and name-brand jackets, and of course she always accessories with her sparkly collars, sunglasses, and hats.

Our girl knows how to model – Pearl would run right up to the camera, and would stare with her big eyes until she got all her shots!

So cute!

Of course, with the size of her personality, Pearl was unafraid to meet Reggie, the tallest dog living (male). Even though he’s three feet (91.56 cm) taller than her, the pair became fast friends, and even bonded over their love of sweaters!

You go, Pearl.
