For those who may not be ready to plunge into a full leopard look, another approach to styling includes a bold accessory. Both Dua Lipa and Halle Berry showed off their printed bags: Berry toting a duffle bag through the airport, Lipa pairing her shoulder bag with a sculptural knit dress and Kiki boots.
On the other hand—or, rather, foot—director Janicza Bravo and diver Tom Daley showed off some funky footwear this past year. The Zola director gave a masterclass in power-clashing, attending a Miu Miu event wearing a classic plaid kilt styled with leopard lace up Oxfords. Meanwhile, the Olympian paired his loafers with a sweet pink sweater, matching saddle bag, and gray suit.

But one of the most classic approaches to leopard print is to simply go big. Irina Shayk committed to the animal pattern this year, wearing it on several occasions. Her favorite item seemed to be the maxi dress, which she styled with sneakers. Winnie Harlow also took to the red carpet in a slinky, full-length leopard print frock with long sleeves and rosettes at the hip. And who could rock this print it better than J.Lo, who went for triple leopard? In May of 2023, Lopez wore a long-sleeved minidress embellished with ostrich feathers over a pair of sequined tights, and finished off the look with leopard stilettos. Now that’s commitment to the bit!
