Worst-Dressed Celebrities of 2010: Winner

Animals turned into fur garments are barbarically killed to avoid damaging their pelts. These animals are strangled and stomped on and have their necks broken—they are even vaginally and anally electrocuted!

Reptiles are usually caught in the wild—often illegally—and their skin is torn from their bodies while they are still alive. Since they are cold-blooded animals, they can suffer for hours or even days before they die.

Cows and other animals who are turned into leather endure all the same horrors as animals on factory farms. These animals are routinely skinned and dismembered while they are still conscious.

With all the fabulous faux alternatives available, there’s no reason to wear any part of an animal corpse. Style-savvy vegan celebs such as Alicia Silverstone and Natalie Portman and fur-free fashion icons such as Stella McCartney, Charlize Theron, and Eva Mendes prove that looking great doesn’t have to involve cruelty.
