Madonna Tops PETA’s Worst-Dressed List
Madonna may have been last year’s top music moneymaker, but don’t count PETA as one of her fans.
The animal rights group placed the pop star at the top of their 2009 worst-dressed celebrities list, branding her the year’s “biggest fur offender.”
“When you see Madonna in fur, you realise why nobody has copied her style since 1984,” read a statement on PETA’s website. “We know that she’s on the prowl for a young cub, but someone needs to tell Madge that wearing fur doesn’t make you a cougar.”
Other celebrities who received dishonorable mentions were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Kate Moss, Elizabeth Hurley, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kanye West.
In contrast, PETA awarded their Person of the Year title last year to Leona Lewis. The British singer has spoken publicly about her vegetarianism and reportedly turned down a seven-figure offer to open department store Harrods’ summer sale because the company sells fur.
