Rayner Croft walked along Blackpool Promenade in the beautiful full-length dress, which was made entirely from leafy greens.

The model and activist posed as 'Lettuce Lady' on the Tower Headlands, to encourage people to cut down on meat and dairy for “Veganuary” and beyond.

Molly Elsdon, a PETA campaigner, told Blackpool Gazette: "We thought this was a beautiful way to encourage people to go vegan. Veganism is a really lovely thing to do, you're saving so many animals. It's better for you health, better for your environment, so what better way to promote veganism that with our beautiful lettuce lady here today."

It comes as Blackpool was just revealed to be one of the least vegan cities in the UK.
