Beloved of Kate Moss, Bet Lynch and a host of others, the style stalwart has been having a new moment in Paris

Associated with everyone from Bet Lynch to Mel B, and sometimes dubbed a “neutral” by fashion insiders, leopard print is such a stalwart of style that it can be dated back to ancient Egypt. But in 2024 it is having something of a fashion moment once again.

Last week Kate Moss wore a leopard print coat to shows at Paris fashion week, while Hailey Bieber was spotted in a similar design in LA. Leopard has also been on the catwalk – with Prada showing a leopard coat this month – and popular on the high street. Ganni’s Izey jeans are now a familiar sight on fashionable thirtysomethings nationwide while Marks & Spencer’s £45 leopard print wide-legged jeans have sold out on the website. Due to be restocked this week, they have a waiting list of 12,000.
