At the Paris Fashion Week, Kylie Jenner made heads turn with her black gown that had a huge lion head. Ever since she walked the hallway, the fashion industry has only been discussing her outfit. So much so that people are slamming her for animal cruelty.
Kylie Jenner's lion-head gown
What does Kylie Jenner's lion-head gown signify?
A disturbing video of #KylieJenner wearing a #lion head at the #Schiaparelli¡¯s fashion show. Although they stated it is faux, how could they possibly think this is fashion? This sends the wrong message & fuels not only the exotic fur trade, but #trophyhunting! ?

With Elsa Schiaparelli's design, Daniel Roseberry reimagined the leopard, lion, and she-wolf as the three beasts that appear in the 14th-century poem "representing lust, pride, and avarice respectively." It was inspired by Dante's "Inferno" and the nine circles of hell.
Soon after the discussion, the brand clarified that, "NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN MAKING THIS LOOK."
Here's what people are saying!
Every year, foreign hunters export the carcasses (usually just the head and hide) of 665 wild lions from Africa¡ªan average of nearly two lions each day.

Wearing a faux head like @KylieJenner isn¡¯t cool, & isn¡¯t celebrating the animal. #stop pic.twitter.com/9RgM5Kt8l4

The world today has only 20000 lions and not evenly distributed. India has just 600 Asiatic lions in its western region. Governments have worked hard for their preservation. @KylieJenner this isn't fashion, its a grave insensitivity towards a critical animal. @peta @PetaIndia pic.twitter.com/ZNvxnb2XMH

PETA has apparently approved Kylie's lion-head outfit.
While these heads are fake and hopefully celebrating the beauty of animals, not glorifying the violence of trophy hunting ¡ª we encourage everyone to use 100% vegan and cruelty-free designs that showcase human ingenuity and prevent animal suffering.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are no longer together
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner has reportedly split from her boyfriend Travis Scott after less than a year since welcoming their son together. The 25-year-old makeup mogul gave birth to their second child in February last year. The couple also share four-year-old daughter Stormi Webster, reports The Mirror.
If reports are to be believed, the couple spent Christmas and New Year apart but "remain friends" and will continue to work together co-parent their two young children.
"Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there," an insider said, quoted by The Mirror.
"This has happened so many times before, they're known to be on again and off again, but always remain friends and great co-parents," the source revealed in an interview with US Weekly.
Kylie and Travis' on-and-off relationship.
Kylie and Travis were first spotted together at Coachella in 2017. The Kardashian star gave birth to their daughter a year later. As per The Mirror, in 2019, the couple parted ways for the first time, but they decided to quarantine together during the Covid-19 pandemic for the sake of Stormi. After weeks of speculation that the pair had rekindled their romance, Kylie gave birth to their second child in February 2021.
