Kylie Jenner’s Lion Dress Applauded by PETA

Kylie Jenner wearing a lion’s head to a fashion show is getting positive reviews from an unlikely source … the world’s most famous animal rights group.

Yes, PETA is on board with the billionaire’s wild outfit from Paris Fashion Week, with PETA president Ingrid Newkirk telling 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 show in Paris and made sure to let everyone know it wasn’t a real lion, saying it’s a “faux art creation constructed by hand using manmade materials.”

The Schiaparelli show also featured Naomi Campbell wearing a black wolf’s head, which was most likely also fake.

PETA’s president is applauding Kylie for going faux, telling 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 big turnaround for Kylie … remember, she’s been shamed in the past by animal rights activists for wearing real fur.
