Jourdan Dunn found her appearance on the red carpet at the Fashion Awards in London on Saturday interrupted by an animal rights protester.
The model, 34, was posing at the event held at the Royal Albert Hall when a protester appeared next to her, interrupting the event.
The activist held up a large sign condemning the use of fur, saying: “Beautiful birds and ugly people wear feathers.”
Jourdan seemed momentarily taken aback by the protester before he was led away.
The model is not the first star to confront an animal rights protester.

The activist held up a large sign condemning the use of fur and said: “Feathers are worn by beautiful birds and ugly people.”
Pharrell, who has drawn the ire of animal activists since he was named Louis Vuitton’s new creative director last year, again faced angry protesters on Thursday who criticized him for “supporting the fur industry.”
However, he tried to calm the situation by offering the activist a hug and saying, “God bless you.”
While their efforts were unsuccessful, the man remained upset and another woman could be heard shouting ‘animal abuser!’ During the confrontation, Pharrell maintained a positive attitude throughout the crash before returning to his vehicle.
Jourdan put on a leggy display in a pair of leopard-print micro shorts that highlighted her endless pins.
She accessorized her outfit with a matching jacket that included a belt and a plunging neckline.
The fashionista added long black gloves to her bold ensemble and a matching 1920s-inspired cap.
Jourdan completed her look with a pair of black bobs and green and silver jewelry, styling her hair in a sleek pixie cut.
