These doggie outfits will knock you out.

Sunset Park Yorkie Louie is paying homage to LL Cool J in an ensemble fit for a rap king.

The 7-year-old doggie content creator will be strutting his stuff and bearing his bling at the 2025 Pet Gala on May 19.

The look was inspired by the famed Lower East Side mural of the two-time Grammy winner.

“I saw the mural and knew I had similar items at home, so I thought it would be funny,” Louie’s owner, Melissa Mercado, told The Post.

The Pet Gala, featuring fur-filled festivities and designs inspired by those set to appear at Monday’s Met Gala, is being hosted by pet couturier Anthony Rubio at GH on the Park on West 40th Street.

Tickets to “Pet Fashion’s Biggest Night” cost $300 and proceeds benefit the AKC Museum of the Dog in Murray Hill.

Blue Chihuahua Gia Diamond Soto of Midtown West will be paying her respects to the late Pope Francis with her Pet Gala outfit.

“With the passing of the pope, I thought it was a good idea,” said Gia’s owner, Gladys Rivera, whose fashion designer mom created the outfit.

Ten-year-old Gia is a natural at dressing up and posing for photos, so is ready to walk the red carpet at the puppy soiree.

“She’s been doing this since she’s eight week old,” she said. “So she’s used to it.”
