Loreal took to Instagram and explained why she chose to wear the same pattern on her birthday as she did the week before, as well as the hidden meaning behind it.

”Leopard print is considered a "neutral" in fashion that never really goes out of season! Designers bring it back year after year, updating it with new twists, but it remains a timeless staple because it can be paired with almost anything,” Loreal said.

“Don't be afraid to embrace leopard print as a bold statement piece! It's known for giving wearers a boost of confidence, and because it's such a standout pattern, it instantly elevates any outfit. Wearing leopard print is about tapping into your inner confidence-whether in a dress, coat, or accessory, it sends a message of power, playfulness, and unapologetic style. So go ahead and make it yours, knowing that this pattern isn't just trendy; it's iconic!”

It truly is an iconic look and a bold statement she made. “Contagious” she said and posted another look:
