Kylie Jenner fans are in an uproar over this wild style statement.
The 25-year-old makeup mogul attended Schiaparelli’s show on Monday during Paris Fashion Week in a strapless black velvet gown featuring an eerily realistic (and life-size) lion’s head, a look from the new collection that had not yet hit the catwalk.
“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. thank you @danielroseberry and @schiaparelli for such a special morning. wow loved wearing this faux art creation hand built from man made materials,” Jenner wrote alongside Instagram photos of her herself modeling the couture creation “beautiful beautiful 🦁🦁🫶🏻”
But her followers weren’t too fond of the front-row furry fashion accessory.
“But why. Why even imitate this. I’m thankful it’s fake but the images are still disturbing,” one commented, while another wrote: “Why do you have an animal head on your dress? False or not… doesn’t it make sense to me?
“I guess more Americans will be flocking to Africa now for the latest wildlife accessories. Hunting promotion. As a South African this is wrong on so many levels, the king of our jungle is not a fashion statement, like WTF,” chimed in a third.
Others described Jenner’s wildlife-inspired outfit as “awful,” “ridiculous,” and “one of the [her] The worst fashion mistakes of all time.
However, not everyone found the look offensive.
One compared the lion head to a child’s toy, writing: “They act like their kids aren’t carrying stuffed animals. Wouldn’t this also be considered ‘promoting the hunting of animals’?
Irina Shayk modeled a nearly identical take on the safari-worthy look on the Schiaparelli runway; according to the show notes, the house’s creative director, Daniel Roseberry, was inspired by Dante’s “Inferno” this season.

Roseberry reimagined the three beasts featured in the poem – the leopard (representing lust), the lion (pride) and the she-wolf (greed) – as couture garments, outfitting Shalom Harlow in a furry strapless gown with a roaring leopard on the busy and Naomi Campbell in a furry black coat with a wolf’s head on the shoulder.
