You would never have guessed that Naomi Campbell was once a staunch supporter of the anti-fur in fashion movement.
It certainly seemed a distant memory as she stepped out last night in a Dolce and Gabbana coat from their 2009 autumn collection.
It is 15 years since she famously declared she would ‘rather go naked than wear fur’, but clearly she’s had a change of heart. .
The model wore the unusual white, grey and black coat, which has huge puff sleeves and jewelled buttons, to the premiere of Valentino: The Last Emperor in Milan last night.
She was with her billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin on the red carpet.
And even though he seemed a little awkward in front of the cameras, Naomi, who wore a bling diamond bracelet and large ring, happily posed with her man – her arm gripped tightly through his.
The supermodel was a spokeswoman for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and appeared naked in a high-profile poster campaign with four other models.
They posed under the slogan ‘We’d rather go naked than wear fur’ in 1994.
But she was sacked by the charity three years later after wearing real Russian sable fur at a Fendi catwalk show.
Her change is stance has led to her being branded a hypocrite by Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills.
The London-born model is unrepentant.
‘And as for that Heather whatshername [McCartney] saying she’d written to me to complain about me wearing fur and I’d never replied. I never received a letter, nothing,’ she said in an interview.
‘And yes, I am still wearing fur, but I’ve made up with that guy from Peta.’
