Kelly Brook attended the Music Industry Trust Awards 2025 wearing a crinkle-chiffon antelope print dress that we’re eagerly adding to our party season wardrobe. Offering an update to classic leopard, Kelly’s figure-flattering dress is from one of the best British clothing brands – Rixo.
An integral part of the autumn/winter fashion trends 2025, animal print is still big news this season, and Kelly’s dress offers perfect inspiration for the months ahead. And while leopard has gone nowhere, if you find leopard a little brash, then antelope could be the print you need to take a walk on the wild side.
