Kylie Jenner’s Lion Dress Applauded by PETA

Kylie Jenner using a lion’s head to a style program is getting favorable evaluations from a not likely source … the world’s most popular animal rights group.

Yes, PETA is on board with the billionaire’s wild attire from Paris Fashion Week, with PETA president Ingrid Newkirk informing TMZ … “Kylie’s look celebrates lions’ beauty and may be a statement against trophy hunting, in which lion families are torn apart to satisfy human egotism.”

As we reported … Kylie rocked the regal look Monday at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture display in Paris and made certain to let everybody understand it wasn’t a genuine lion, stating it’s a “faux art creation constructed by hand using manmade materials.”

The Schiaparelli program likewise included Naomi Campbell using a black wolf’s head, which was probably likewise phony.

PETA’s president is praising Kylie for going synthetic, informing us … “These fabulously innovative three-dimensional animal heads show that where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

The back-slapping from PETA is a huge turn-around for Kylie … keep in mind, she’s been shamed in the past by animal rights activists for using genuine fur.
