Kelly Brook attended the Music Industry Trust Awards 2025 wearing a crinkle-chiffon antelope print dress that we're eagerly adding to our party season wardrobe. Offering an update to classic leopard, Kelly's figure-flattering dress is from one of the best British clothing brands – Rixo.
An integral part of the autumn/winter fashion trends 2025, animal print is still big news this season, and Kelly's dress offers perfect inspiration for the months ahead. And while leopard has gone nowhere, if you find leopard a little brash, then antelope could be the print you need to take a walk on the wild side.
Wearing the Meera Chiffon Gown in Antelope Spot Black, Kelly's dress features long, floaty sleeves, a plunging V-neckline, and a ruffled front that creates a flattering silhouette, lengthening the star's frame, while highlighting her curves in the process.
Kelly Brook styled the chiffon-crinkled gown with black strappy open-toe heels, a gold chain necklace with a sun-and-moon pendant, gold hoop earrings, and a statement gold clutch bag.
