She’s previously claimed to not be a fan of fur coats – but British supermodel Agyness Deyn looked pretty snug in this furry looking jacket as she left a party.
The 25-year-old was spotted leaving a Christmas bash at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in the huge coat, a tight-fitting pink dress and matching bright pink hair band.
The model happily showed off the full-length jacket as she posed up for photographers at the event.
It seems a strange choice for Agyness, who just last month was pictured wearing an anti-fur sticker on her top at the Humane Society of the United States Cool vs. Cruel Awards in New York.
But her winter accessory indicates she’s either changed her mind about the controversial subject or has gone out and found a convincing fake.
The peroxide-blonde attended the party – which had a Christmas tree and treasure hunt theme – alongside a host of fashionable stars including Kelly Brook, Beth Ditto, Giles Deacon and Henry Holland.
Her boyfriend, The Stroke’s guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., is believed to have stayed back in New York, where the model now spends much of her time.

WA iron-ore billionaire Andrew Forrest and supermodel Gemma Ward are two of the 332 new inclusions in the 2009 edition of Who’s Who in Australia.
Mr Forrest and Miss Ward are joined by supermodel Miranda Kerr, television personality Chris Lilley, world surfing champion Stephanie Gilmour, Socceroo coach Pim Verbeek and captain Lucas Neil and new Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.

In May, Mr Forrest topped BRW magazine’s Rich 200 list, with a record estimated fortune of $9.41 billion, but his wealth has been considerably reduced as a result of the big drop in the stock market over the past year.
Gemma Ward is best known as the face of alien chic and for being romantically linked to the late actor Heath Ledger.
Neither achievement, though, is included in her small biography.
Who’s Who in Australia contains more than 13,000 biographies.
The 2009 edition, which runs to 2282 pages and 13,378 small biographies, includes 332 newcomers.
Who’s Who publisher Helen Christon says they are picked for their significant contributions to Australian life.
Significance, however, is in the eye of the beholder.
Supermodel Miranda Kerr’s listed achievements include being our first Victoria’s Secret angel.
The leather-bound directory to the rich, powerful and famous was first published in 1906. Entrance is priceless, in as much as you can’t buy your way in, but friends in high places never hurt.
Therese Rein, who missed last year’s Who’s Who despite a $170 million business empire, makes an overdue debut.
Unlike their partners, MPs are almost an automatic inclusion.
Law and government hogs one-quarter of the book, while academics fill another 24 per cent. There are 109 new entries from government, parliament and diplomacy.
Unions take up just one per cent of the entries.

Kate Moss popped out for a spot of shopping last night — and returned home with two bottles of what could have been amyl nitrite.
The substance, also known as ‘poppers’, is not illegal but is popular among clubbers who sniff its vapours to achieve a head rush. It is also often combined with other drugs.
Moss arrived at her St John’s Wood home clutching two bottles, with a skull and crossbones warning on one of the lids visible.
The 34-year-old supermodel was also carrying a bag from exclusive perfume brand Diptyque, which offers vapours of a more innocent kind.
Speculation has been mounting in recent weeks that Moss could be pregnant, although health experts have warned against the use of amyl nitrite during pregnancy.
Moss has also been spotted drinking alcohol in recent weeks.
Recently Sarah Symonds, the woman who alleged she had a seven-year affair with Gordon Ramsay, claimed the television chef enjoyed using the legal sex drug during their illicit sessions together.
Meanwhile, Kate clearly isn’t only happy to buy herself a few treats. The supermodel was seen treating her daughter’s nanny to a Topshop shopping spree for Christmas.
Kate ordered her nanny Mary Davidson – the mother of her close friend Sadie Frost – to ’shop shop shop’ as she treated her to a trolley dash at the flagship Oxford Circus store.
Apparently 60-year-old Mary started off looked slightly bewildered, before quickly getting into the swing of things, picking up over ?3,000 worth of clothes shoes and accessories.
A source told Marie Claire: ‘Kate cleared it with Philip so that she could let her nanny choose whatever she wanted from in store.’
Poor Mary was reportedly heard asking the model, ‘But what will I get you for Christmas?’
