• Miss Piggy appeared in an online post on November 3, 2011 with designer Jerome C. Rousseau's shoe designed in her honor, the Diva Glitter Pump.
• The online edition of Harper's Bazaar published a brief interview with Vivienne Westwood and Miss Piggy on the day that the first picture of the gown from Muppets Most Wanted was released. In the interview, Piggy asked Westwood about her inspiration. Westwood replied, "The dress is one of my favorite styles. It's called the Court dress and is inspired by 17th-century English royalty and the court of King Charles II. It has been designed especially for you in a white pearl sequin fabric made from recycled water bottles. It's the perfect choice for a royal sow."
