Dr Kate Adams shames Married at First Sight's Carina Mirabile for embarrassing fur coat lie at Australian Fashion Week
Dr Kate Adams has taken a break from working with anti-poaching teams in Africa to weigh in on Carina Mirabile's Australian Fashion Week fur coat faux pas.
The Real Housewives of Sydney and Bondi Vet star has joined animal rights activists in shaming the Married at First Sight bride for opting to wear a real fur coat to Australian Fashion Week — then lie about it.
Carina, 31, turned heads on Day Two of Sydney 's streetwear fashion parade as she arrived to Carriageworks wearing the nude SKIMS 'Ultimate Butt' bodysuit and a voluminous fur coat.
The season 12 bride, who was matched with controversial French groom Paul Antoine on MAFS, was quick to tell her outraged fans that the coat was 'fake' and made of faux fur after she posted the look to Instagram.
'Yes this is my own 'fit. I bought this fur coat from New York in Brooklyn and I've got SKIMS on underneath and literally pantyhose stockings,' Carina told Daily Mail Australia.
Unfortunately for Carina, the original owner of the fur coat commented on her post and revealed it is in fact, 'a real vintage fur coat,' that was sold to Carina on Facebook Marketplace.
Kate, 43, shared the news to her Stories on Saturday and praised Bailey (AKA @warriorforanimals) for bringing it to her attention.
'I'm going to leave this here,' Kate began.
'More evidence that the universe will always get you in the arse if you lie.'
The reality TV alum offered some advice to the fledgling influencer in her post, as Carina she prepares to launch her own podcast.
'The correct way to fix this mess is to say, "Sorry, big mistake. Won't be an a**hat next time,' Kate said.
She tagged animal activist Bailey, adding, 'What a good human you are.'
Australian Fashion Week officially banned the use of real furs, exotic skins, and animal feathers in 2025.
Bailey, who runs the account Warrior For Animals, shared images of the reality TV star in the ankle-length 'vintage' coat, claiming she 'defied' the event's no animal skin rule.
Carina has since taken to her own social media page to assure followers the shaggy brown coat that she said she purchased in Brooklyn is actually faux fur
Carina's denials have also done little to quell the online backlash about her wearing the coat
Carina took to her social media to to assure followers the shaggy brown jacket, that she says she purchased in Brooklyn, is actually faux fur.
Carina has claimed multiple times on social media that her coat is not real fur, but it has done little to quell the online backlash.
'It's not real fur FYI and my stylist uses vegan products,' Carina captioned an image of her look.
On Chattr, she added: 'It's not real fur, bought from a vintage store in New York.
'I wouldn't wear anything that's not ethically sourced.'
But in a surprising twist, a woman claiming to be the original owner of the coat then commented on Carina's post, alleging 'Temu Kim' lied about its origin.
'It's actually a real vintage fur coat, it's not fake fur,' she wrote.
'I know because she bought that coat from me off [Facebook] marketplace several years ago. I was the one who bought it in NYC and it was stated in my ad. Funny that she lied about it.'
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Carina for further comment, as well as the Australian Fashion Council to verify any complaints made.

AFW banned all wildlife-derived materials, including fur, exotic animal skins and feathers, from being used on runways this year and in the future.
The new policy came into immediate effect, making the ongoing AFW, held from 12 to 16 May, the first edition to fully exclude wildlife materials from its runways.
The Australian Fashion Council's new policy was developed alongside Collective Fashion Justice and World Animal Protection.
It comes following years of activism calling for cruel materials to be excluded from the show.
'Well done - the ban made me cheer (especially after fur situation last season),' Kate wrote in another post last week, as she made a reference to her on-screen feud with her Real Housewives of Sydney co-star Victoria Montano over the subject.

Coronation Street star teases new arrival for one family after plea from fans
Coronation Street's Betsy Swain actress Sydney Martin is very aware about fans' hopes for a new addition to the Swain family, and she's completely backing it for the ITV soap If one Coronation Street favourite gets her way, and viewers, there could be a new addition to the ITV soap. One family in particular could be about to get a new arrival, one cast member is hoping, but who could it be? The family in question is the Swains, amid them forming quite the dynamic with Carla Connor and her household. But could the infamous Swain cat, teased by Betsy Swain in a past scene and then called for by viewers, finally make an appearance? Betsy actress Sydney Martin certainly hopes so, telling The Mirror at the British Soap Awards all about it. While she joked about the origins of the potential feline, which may or may not exist, Sydney confessed she would love to see a cat make an appearance. Her co-star Cait Fitton, who plays Betsy's pal Lauren Bolton, agreed and even offered to play cat sitter. Sydney shared: "Where is the cat? I mentioned a cat and I'm feeling now that it may have been a metaphor. I said something like she loves the cat more than me, so where is the Swain cat? "I hope one day it makes an appearance." Cait then backed this saying: "We can get a cat. We can bring it onto set and go there's the cat." In terms of what to call the hypothetical pet, we suggested Bauren - the name Cait and Sydney gave their characters Betsy and Lauren's budding friendship. Rather hilariously, Cait thought we said "Warren" so that could be the winner here. The actress is very keen to help look after the Swain cat though, while she did point out a potential problem. Offering to cat sit for the family, she said: "I'll cat sit unless Frankie is allergic to cats, cos then I can't." As we later spoke with Sydney about the growing family dynamic with Lisa, Betsy, Carla and others, Sydney vowed it would keep "growing". Of course the hypothetical cat was mentioned once more, with her saying: "It's growing... and a cat. I haven't forgotten the cat." Sydney also praised Corrie boss Kate Brooks for developing strong families and friendships, which she said was key to the ITV soap. Speaking of her own onscreen family, she shared: "It's a beautiful dynamic and it works so well." Asked what was ahead for her character, Sydney confessed she doesn't even ask bosses what's on the way. She joked: "We don't ask we just go with the flow, it's like 'what are we doing next week?'." With the crossover with Emmerdale coming up too, Cait reckons Lauren wouldn't fit in in the Dales, but she'd love to see Cain Dingle have it out with David Platt. Cait also revealed that the stuff with Lauren and Betsy almost didn't happen. Corrie boss Kate added it into an episode as a trial run not knowing what to expect, but soon it proved to be a hit and Kate "loved it".

Unbelievable secret behind year's 'most terrifying film' Bring Her Back's vomit-inducing scenes
It's been dubbed 'the most terrifying horror film' of the year. Bring Her Back, from Australian directors Danny and Michael Philippou, follows two siblings who find themselves caught up in an occult ritual by their foster mother. The supernatural chiller rattled moviegovers over the weekend, with many claiming that the film's stomach-churning scenes had left them nauseous. One shocking scene sees troubled Ollie, played by 12-year-old child star Jonah Wren Phillips, being fed a piece of fruit on the end of a large knife by his foster brother Andy. When Andy turns his back, Ollie begins voraciously gnawing on the knife in order to satiate a demonic spirit inside of him. As he chews on the razor-sharp blade, blood begins gushing everywhere and his teeth begin to crack and become dislodged. In another scene, the demon completely takes over Ollie's body and he begins trying to eat everything in sight, including the edge of a wooden table that immediately splinters and starts tearing into the child's face. Explaining the secrets behind both horrific scenes, prosthetic FX designer Larry Van Duynhoven told Variety that they used a set of prosthetic teeth and added some chocolate to the prop table to disguise the taste for Phillips, who plays Ollie. 'He was able to really go to town because we had the dentures that helped protect his teeth and mouth,' Van Duynhoven said. 'The dental technician designed some breakaway teeth in the dentures, so some of those teeth snap off.' Phillips added, 'They said they put chocolate in it a little bit. I didn't taste it because I had blood in my mouth. It was more of a texture because they hollowed it out so it was really crunchy.' Director Danny Philippou told Polygon, 'The entire table was laced with chocolate, so he enjoyed eating it. He was still munching on it between takes.' For the jaw-dropping knife scene, a rubber prop was used whenever Phillips was present, and then a puppet head whenever they needed to use a real blade. Philippou added, 'We had a [prop replacement for Jonah's head], so we could put a real knife in this fake head and rip his lip.' Bring Her Back opened in US theaters over the weekend, pulling in $7 million. Critics have praised the film so far, while viewers have been left sick by some of the violence and realistic practical effects. 'Bring Her Back made me so nauseous, it was so good,' gushed one fan on X, formerly Twitter. 'Bring Her Back WAS SOOOO GOOD I felt sick watching that scene,' added a second, while a third wrote, 'Bring Her Back is sick. Definitely seeing it again.' A fourth wrote, 'If y'all need a movie to watch this week go see Bring Her Back in theaters. My first time ever a movie made me literally set up to vomit. The plot is crazy too.' Bring Her Back is from the directors of Talk To Me, which is currently the highest-grossing horror film in A24 history. According to the filmmakers, the flick is so scary moviegoers passed out during preview screenings. 'We've had three faintings,' Danny admitted during an interview on Australian talk show The Project. Oscar-nominated English actress Sally Hawkins, 48, known for her roles in Paddington, Wonka and Happy-Go-Lucky, stars in Bring Her Back. Hawkins plays grieving mother Laura, who attempts to bring her daughter back from the dead using a paranormal ritual.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori COPIES Kim Kardashian in plunging nude bodysuit
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori channeled Kim Kardashian in a daring new photo shoot, which left little to the imagination. While rocking just a plunging nude bodysuit, fishnet stockings and high heels, the 30-year-old Australian architect appeared to be taking a page from her spouse's ex, 44. The new images of Censori looked ripped straight from one of Kardashian's Skims campaigns, specifically from her shapewear brand's collaboration with Swarovski in 2023. Censori even copied a few of the reality star's signature poses as she bared her bottom toward the camera in one shot and laid down with her back arched in another. West, 47, famously married Censori just two months after finalizing his divorce from Kim Kardashian during a secret wedding ceremony in December 2022. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021 after six years of marriage. The former couple share four children together: North West 11, Saint West 9, Chicago West 7, and Psalm West, 6. Over the years, Kardashian has been accused of taking inspiration from Censori's wardrobe and racy fashion choices, often attributed to West's influence. Earlier this year, West was branded a hypocrite for encouraging Censori to dress provocatively after previously pleading with Kardashian to cover up. After Censori sparked outrage for wearing a completely see-through dress at the Grammys in February, social media users resurfaced footage of West telling Kardashian it 'hurt' his soul when she wore revealing outfits. The moment, which occurred during a a 2019 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, showed West shaming his then-wife for dressing 'too sexy' ahead of her imminent Met Gala appearance. After spending eight months perfecting her Thierry Mugler look for the event, the reality star was left anxiety-ridden when her husband criticized her appearance at the last minute. Despite Kardashian already feeling jittery, West made it clear he wasn't a fan of her custom-made, nude-colored corset, designed to look like as though she was dripping wet. Censori even copied a few of the reality star's signature poses as she bared her bottom toward the camera in one shot and laid down with her back arched in another As he took in the look, the rapper frowned at the style of her dress as he declared it didn't match with his personal evolution from being a single guy to a married man. 'I just made this transition from being a rapper, looking at all these girls, looking at my wife,' he mused. 'Like, ''Oh, my girl needs to be like the other girls, showing her body off''.' 'I didn't realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that's married and loved, and the father of now, what—about to be four kids?,' Kanye said. At the time, Kanye and Kim were just days away from becoming parents to their fourth child Psalm, who they welcomed via a surrogate. 'A corset is like a form of underwear,' Kanye continued. 'It's hot. It's like, it's hot for who, though?' 'So the night before the Met, you're gonna come in here and say that you're not into a corset bust?' Kim asked. 'I'm getting really bad anxiety. What are you talking about?' 'I don't need any more negative energy for you to now say that you're not into me in a tight dress,' she pointed out. 'You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy,' Kanye said. 'You built me up to be this sexy person and confidence and all this stuff,' Kim adroitly pointed out. 'And just because you're on a journey and you're on a transformation doesn't mean that I'm in the same spot with you.' This prompts West to storm off after saying: 'All right, cool.' 'That's absolutely ridiculous,' Kim muttered. Following backlash over her remarks over her look, at the time, West doubled down on his stance while appearing on Beats 1's Zane Lowe on Apple Music. 'I suffer and I appreciate the suffering because we can feel a little bit of what Jesus experienced, but I suffer on social media,' Kanye said. 'There are other married men that I know are happy to hear me say that.' He continued: 'Social media prompts women, in particular, to put out content that they wouldn't in the past. When I was younger and I wanted to see something like that I had to pay someone who was older … Now I have friends who have kids in high school and it's readily available.' West's opinion about how his wife should dress drastically changed after finalizing his high-profile divorce from Kardashian in 2022. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online.
