We love it when celebrities, shiny things and fierce animals collide. So Jaime Winstone and Ash Stymest posing with a life-sized tiger head sculpture, encrusted with 35,000 Swarovski crystals? Believe us when we say this photoshoot by Louie Banks hits all our buttons.

But there’s a great story behind it too. British artist Lauren Baker, better known for her mosaic work with animal skulls, made ‘Crystal Tiger’ for Save Wild Tigers, a charity that raises conservation funds for one of the world’s most magnificent big cats. Enter Jaime Winstone to sprinkle a little bit of stardust onto an already glittery project.

“I love tigers so this is an amazing project to be involved in,” Winstone said. “Lauren Baker’s sculpture is so powerful – she does justice to the majestic creature. It’s down to our generation to save wild tigers.”

There are only 3,500 tigers left in the wild – in fact, wild tigers could become extinct within 10 years due to deforestation, urbanization and the illegal trade of tiger parts.

But this particular story, at least has a happy ending. The artwork was auctioned on 21st March after being exhibited in Asia House and bought by Elaine and Chris Fairfax of pet insurance firm Animal Friends for £10,500.
