Kim Kardashian once again became the target of criticism on social media after being photographed wearing a fur coat valued at up to 7,500 USD, shortly after facing a negative reaction from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

According to The Richest, Kim Kardashian was spotted on January 1 while shopping in Aspen, Colorado, wearing a vintage Roberto Cavalli fur coat, whose value can reach up to 7,500 USD on the resale market. The look drew attention not only for its luxury, but also for the delicate timing following recent criticism of the businesswoman.
PETA criticism and online backlash
The outing took place just days after PETA publicly condemned Kardashian for gifting her four children Pomeranian puppies for Christmas instead of choosing to adopt animals from shelters. The decision reignited debates about social responsibility and animal welfare.
According to reports, Kim Kardashian was seen trying on Prada pieces, dressed in leather and fur, pairing the statement coat with burgundy braided leather pants and a velvet corset. As reported by Page Six, the coat dates back to the early 2000s and features a leopard-print lining, further increasing its rarity and value among collectors.
Strong statement from PETA’s founder
After the puppies were revealed at Christmas, PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk issued a harsh statement criticizing Kardashian’s attitude. She suggested that in the future the businesswoman should “call PETA or a local shelter” before adding another dog to the family.
Newkirk also encouraged Kim Kardashian to donate to or volunteer at shelters as a way to help address what she called the “growing crisis of homeless puppies”.
Previous controversies involving luxury fashion
The fur coat controversy comes shortly after another recent negative reaction involving the businesswoman’s fashion choices. In November, Kim Kardashian was criticized for wearing an extremely rare Hermès Birkin bag made of elephant leather in her Hulu series All’s Fair.
The accessory, which can reach up to 125,000 USD on the resale market, generated strong outrage from model Ireland Baldwin, who described the bag as “disgusting and shameful” in a social media post.
According to The Richest, elephant-leather Birkin bags were never mass-produced. They were reportedly made in the 1980s after the death of an elephant during a safari and were never officially sold to the public, making them some of the rarest and most controversial luxury items ever seen.
Billionaire fortune and recurring criticism
With an estimated fortune of 1.7 billion USD, driven by SKIMS, advertising contracts, television projects and investments, Kim Kardashian has faced recurring criticism for fashion choices considered incompatible with the increasingly strict ethical standards demanded by the public.
She has also been questioned for maintaining her association with Balenciaga after the brand’s advertising campaign, which was widely condemned in 2022 for involving children.
At the time of publication of this article, Kim Kardashian has not officially commented on the most recent criticism from PETA.
