Admit it. Just admit it already. A lot of the time, we tend to associate the ever-present yet constantly-debated leopard print with: a) '80s streetwalkers; b) ballroom-dancing grannies; and c) Tarzan. Cringeworthy as your line of thought is starting to get, know that you can stop right there. The Fall/Winter 2016 shows are powerful proof that animal skin is ready to be done right. Just ask the likes of Prada, Givenchy, Celine, and Saint Laurent—there is strength in spots!
Below, three ways to get on the prowl, as demonstrated by some of Tinseltown's coolest girls:
EASY: Shoes

HARD: Dress

Georgia May Jagger's rock n' roll heritage seeps through to her divine style choices. We're not sure anyone else could team a sexy leopard-print slip dress with retro red sandals, cat-eye sunnies, and a cherry pout for a look that channels '50s pin-up girl to perfection.
