The X Factor winner turned chart-topping recording artist Leona Lewis rejected a £1m offer from Harrods boss Mohammed Fayed to open this year's summer sale because the department store sells fur.
A
staunch vegetarian since the age of 12, the Bleeding Love singer stuck
to her principles and turned the lucrative offer down, the job going
instead to 52-year-old Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall.
Lewis,
who was this year voted animal rights campaign Peta's World's Sexiest
Vegetarian Celebrity, said:
I'm totally against animal cruelty.
I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from any animal products.'
Harrods,
which declined to comment, is the only department store in the UK that
continues to sell fur, and is regularly targeted by animal cruelty
campaigners.
Its sales are traditionally opened by an A-list female celebrity.
Most
of those invited have jumped at the opportunity to parade around
Knightsbridge in a horse and carriage before being given a private tour
of the discounted goods by Mr Fayed himself.
Last summer,
Hollywood actress Sarah Michelle Geller, 31, was given the honour,
while singer Lily Allen, 23, opened the winter sale last December.
Other
leading ladies who have cut the ribbon include Victoria Beckham, 34,
Eva Longoria, 33, Christina Aguilera, 27, and Lucy Liu, 39.
Meanwhile, Lewis is reportedly in talks with Bhs boss Sir Philip Green about creating a range of nonleather bags and shoes for Topshop.

Posh Spice says she's really proud of her business
Victoria Beckham has revealed that her and husband David's perfume company is worth a whopping £109 million.
The firm has earned the huge amount just 2 years after it launched and Posh is confident it will continue to grow.
‘We’ve just had some great news from our fragrance business – it’s now worth £109 million and we haven’t even scratched the surface in America. That’s not including my jeans or sunglasses range,’ she tells The Sun.
‘Things are really positive for me and I feel so content. I feel proud of myself because I’ve worked for it and, let’s face it, I don’t have to.’
Victoria, 34, and David, 33, launch their new his and hers range Signature in New York this week.
Their first line, Intimately, went on sale in 2006.
Emma Bunton has scrapped plans to move to Los Angeles, and now wants
to open a restaurant in London with her partner Jade Jones, a trainee
chef.
Former Damage star Jade has been training as a chef since quitting his music career.
He
has worked with the likes of Gordon Ramsay since impressing the fiery
chef with his culinary skills on Ramsay's show The F Word.
Jade also recently finished a stint at the Connaught restaurant in Mayfair.
He
said:
Yes, I want to open a restaurant with Emma. We're not sure when or where yet, but it's something we're seriously looking into.'
Emma, 32, won't be the first Spice Girl to go into catering - Victoria Beckham recently told the London Lite she was setting up a restaurant with Gordon Ramsay in LA.
But Emma won't have much say in the kitchen.
Jade, 28, added:
I won't let Emma in the kitchen any more.
I've heard Gordon Ramsay has two kitchens in his house, so we might do the same. One for me and one for her.
Jade and Emma who have been together for 10 years, have a son together, Beau, 12 months.Every time she picks up a knife I get terrified.'

Victoria Beckham, who recently turned 34, is set to start bottling her own wine, after her hubby Becks paid for the plot in California. The vineyard is located in the Napa Valley, approximately an hour flight from the couple’s Los Angeles home. David spent months researching vineries to find one that was just right for his wife. He apparently unveiled the present to Victoria by presenting her with a bottle with her name on the label while on holiday in the area last month. The "Posh" wine will not be made commercially available and the couple - who have employed a team to run the vineyard - will keep it for family and friends.
