Jourdan Dunn is confronted by animal rights protestor as she walks the red carpet at The Fashion Awards
Jourdan Dunn was interrupted by an animal rights activist during her red carpet appearance at the Fashion Awards in London on Saturday.
The model, 34, was posing at the event at the Royal Albert Hall when a protester appeared next to her and disrupted the event.
The activist held up a large sign condemning the use of fur, reading: “Feathers are worn by beautiful birds and ugly people.”
Jourdan seemed briefly surprised by the protester before they were removed.
The model is not the first star to be confronted by an animal rights activist.
Pharrell tried to hug an animal rights activist who confronted him outside the Chateau Marmont in LA after the GQ Men of the Year Awards in November.

Pharrell, who has drawn the ire of animal rights activists since he was named Louis Vuitton’s new creative director last year, was confronted again on Thursday by angry protesters who accused him of “supporting the fur industry.”
However, he tried to diffuse the situation by offering the activist a hug and telling him, “God bless you.”
Although his efforts were unsuccessful, the man remained upset and another woman could be heard shouting, “animal abuser!” During the confrontation, Pharrell maintained a positive attitude during the collision before returning to his vehicle.
Jourdan put on a leggy show in leopard print micro shorts that highlighted her endless pins.
She complemented her outfit with a matching jacket with a belt and a plunging neckline.
The fashionista added long black gloves to her striking ensemble and a matching 1920s-inspired cap.
Jourdan completed her look with a pair of black smocks and statement green and silver jewelry, styling her hair into a sleek pixie cut.
