Kylie Jenner stole the show at Schiaparelli Haute couture runway in Paris when she arrived in a black velvet strapless gown with a realistic Faux lion head that covered her torso. Irina Shayk also walked the Schiaparelli Spring Summer 2023 Haute Couture runway with the same Faux Lion head ensemble.

The collection was inspired by Dante's "Inferno" and the nine circles of hell — a metaphor for the doubt and creative torment all artists experience, wrote creative director Daniel Roseberry.

Drawing from the three beasts that appear in the 14th century poem, Roseberry reimagined the leopard, the lion and the she-wolf in the collection; "representing lust, pride and avarice respectively."

The head-turning pieces were constructed entirely by hand from foam resin and other man-made materials. Yet despite Schiaparelli specifying the pieces are "faux-taxidermy," the visual parallel with trophy hunting means some social media users are finding the collection difficult to appreciate.
