Kelly Osbourne Stuns on the London Fashion Week Runway in Emotional Tribute to Ozzy — Photos

Fashion and family history collided when a familiar face from rock royalty strutted down a London catwalk with a bold new look. Fans may have noticed that one accessory in particular carried a meaning far deeper than style.

Kelly Osbourne has paid tribute to her father once again, this time on the runway. On Friday, September 18, the 41-year-old walked for designer Natasha Zinko during London Fashion Week, looking nearly unrecognizable with an edgy asymmetric black bob.

Kelly served dark, theatrical glamour with a gothic twist on classic tuxedo dressing. She wore a crisp white sleeveless halter top designed to resemble a tuxedo shirtfront, complete with a high, stiff collar, a neat button placket, and a black satin bow tie at the neck.

The cropped, bib-style top ended just above her waist, where a black bat-shaped accessory stretched across her midsection, attached to a delicate silver chain she held as she walked.

She teamed the top with a high-waisted black midi skirt featuring a daring front slit and a raw, frayed hem for an undone, edgy finish. Frothy white ruffles peeked out from the sides, adding an unexpected burst of texture to the otherwise sleek silhouette.

Glossy black patent pointed-toe pumps completed the ensemble and showed off the skull-and-crossbones tattoos on her feet. The bat figurine appeared to be a nod to her father, Ozzy Osbourne, who infamously bit the head off a live bat during a 1982 concert.

Her runway appearance comes after she opened up about her mental health more than a year after Ozzy's death. The rock legend passed away on July 22, 2025, following a years-long battle with Parkinson's disease. He was 76.

During the September 15 episode of Paul C. Brunson's "We Need to Talk" podcast, Kelly, who has spoken about her struggles with addiction before, admitted that her grief became so overwhelming that she relapsed.

"I was a shell of myself," she said. "I couldn't speak. I couldn't eat. I couldn't do anything. I was just empty. Broken in every way a human being could possibly be broken and completely unable to even take care of myself. I was at ground zero. I started drinking again. I lost my mind. I couldn't handle it."

"But I can honestly say today I'm eight months sober," she continued. "I have the most incredible people around me. I closed my circle because I lost a lot of friends because people don't like sadness and they expected me to be over it. And I will never be over it. I will never ever be over it."

Kelly grew emotional while reflecting on Ozzy and the bond they shared. She explained that although the pain runs deep, she feels "lucky" to experience grief because it means she loved him so much.

"You don't understand grief until you've really been through it," she said. "I'd lost people before that I truly loved, but nothing took me out like losing my dad."

Earlier this month, Kelly revealed to The Mail on Sunday that she lost so much weight while mourning Ozzy that she no longer recognized herself. "I looked like the [expletive] Crypt Keeper," Kelly told the outlet, referring to the ghoulish character from the "Tales from the Crypt" horror franchise.

She continued, "I said, 'This is scary. I didn't know I looked like this.' My spine — you could see every single bone. I couldn't see what other people saw because I was in so much pain. I just saw a broken person."
