With its literal connotations of being wild (at least at heart), it is no surprise that leopard print - we repeat, print; never evil fur - is a favourite with Hollywood sexpots such as Eva Mendes and Jennifer Lopez.
But it's not just for the ladies who ladle on the va-va-voom - celebrities not typically known for their pouts, such as Maggie Gyllenhaal and Alexa Chung, enjoy their spots, too. Closer to home, the anti-bombshell actress Rui En once told us that her biggest shopping weakness was "anything leopard print".
In the world of fashion, animal print is practically a staple - right up there with a black wardrobe and a vaguely disapproving visage - and it's in the spotlight once again in a major way this season.
At Dolce & Gabbana, '50s primness and unadulterated sex came together in a leopard-print, body-skimming dress with a pencil silhouette and ended just over the knees.
At Hermes, a leather blazer was thrown over a belted, high-necked, leopard-print dress to create an of-the-moment take on its Victorian-inspired fall looks.
Creating an unexpected, and very directional look for fall, Dries Van Noten combined leopard print with another major fall trend: Military. Mixing an animal-print scarf with olive trousers, or a leopard-print vest with a knee-length olive skirt, the designer showed that animal print can look just as formidable in the urban jungle.
