Fashion, Ethics, and the 2025 Grammys: A Conversation on Animal Cruelty

The 2025 Grammy Awards were not just about celebrating music—they also became a stage for bold fashion choices that reignited debates on animal cruelty. Celebrities such as Bianca Censori made headlines, arriving in a dramatic fur coat before unveiling a sheer minidress, sparking controversy over the use of fur.

Other stars also embraced sheer and edgy styles. Julia Fox combined a sheer top with an oversized leather jacket, further fueling discussions on ethical fashion. Doja Cat opted for a striking leather ensemble, while Kylie Jenner wore a fur-trimmed gown that drew criticism from animal rights activists. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga, known for her past avant-garde fashion, surprised many by choosing a vintage vegan leather look, showcasing a shift towards more conscious fashion choices.

Animal rights organizations like PETA continue to highlight the brutal reality of fur and leather production. The fur trade subjects animals like minks and foxes to inhumane conditions before they are killed using cruel methods such as gassing and electrocution. Similarly, leather production is tied to factory farming, where billions of animals suffer before slaughter.

As ethical fashion gains traction, brands like Vyakti India are leading the change with plant-based leather accessories, proving that sustainability and style can go hand in hand. With more awareness, the future of fashion can be both glamorous and cruelty-free.
