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. Unfortunately for Carina, a woman claiming to be 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 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.

However, Carina, 31, has since taken to her own social media page to assure followers the shaggy brown frock she purchased in Brooklyn is actually faux fur. The debacle kicked off on Wednesday when Bailey shared a collage of Carina in her fur coat next to news AFW had 'banned all wildlife materials' from runways. 'Australian Fashion Week banned fur and exotic skins. Deliberately in defiance of the AFW policy, Carina Mirabile decided to wear real fur at AFW,' Bailey wrote. 'An official complaint has been made to ban Carina from AFW because of her breach of animal welfare policy.' Bailey then went on to note the moments Carina said she was wearing fur to AFW. The first was a selfie she shared to Instagram, which saw her sitting in a car wearing the controversial coat with the caption: 'Look two. Wearing vintage fur coat #afw.' The second time Carina mentioned wearing fur came during an interview with Daily Mail Australia when she was asked about her outfit. '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,' she said.

She went on to say it was 'worrying' to see people jump to conclusions so quickly. 'People are so quick to judge in this day and age and it's worrying and detrimental on people's lives,' 'We are not robots. If people have nothing nice to say, they shouldn't say anything at all. 'There is already enough cruelty in the world, people shouldn't add to it, but try and make it a better peaceful place.'
