I think it's safe to say that I didn't expect to write this news story today, but here we are. Fashion month is officially underway, meaning we're in for a few weeks of eye-catching celebrity style, and Kylie Jenner is already making headlines with her wardrobe choices. This morning, the Kardashian stepped out at Paris Fashion Week wearing a dress with a massive lion head hanging off the front. Yep, it's pretty hard to miss. And, before I go any further, she points out that the head is actually totally fake, created with manmade materials.

The look in question is a Schiaparelli design, with Kylie wearing the look to the designer's haute couture spring/summer 2023 show. The strapless black midi dress is fitted to the body and totally bare save for a huge faux lion head affixed to the front. At first, we had to do a double-take, with the intricate detailing making us question if it was real or not.

Fans have mixed reactions to the dress, taking to the comments section to share their thoughts. Some think that the piece is a homage to the fact that Kylie is a famous Leo, and defended the look:

obsessed ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

Big Leo Energyyyyy

It’s not a real lion! Why are ppl so sensitive 😂

While others think that, although the animal is fake, it still doesn't sit right:

This is wrong on so many levels 😮

Seriously ?! What’s wrong with you guys? That’s is going to far in my opinion. 😒

What in the Lion king is going on 😳

Animals aren‘t fashion

Here's the lion dress on the runway (worn by Irina Shayk), alongside a second design featuring a snow leopard:

What do you think, is Kylie's dress harmless?
