This one has a mystery, which is exactly why people keep searching it. For over a decade Kat Von D was one of the most recognizable vegans in beauty, an outspoken activist with a fully vegan makeup empire. Then, quietly, the vegan signals disappeared from her social media, the activism stopped, and she never said a word about why.<\/p>\n<p>So, is Kat Von D still vegan? The honest answer, and we&rsquo;re not going to pretend otherwise, is that nobody outside her kitchen actually knows.<\/p>\n<style>.tiv-verdict{border-left:6px solid #e59875;background:#f8decd;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;border-radius:0 14px 14px 0;color:#0a4a4a}.tiv-verdict .tiv-badge{display:inline-block;background:#c2603a;color:#fff;padding:4px 14px;border-radius:999px;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.4px;margin-bottom:8px}.tiv-verdict p{margin:8px 0 0}.tiv-check{font-size:13px;color:#0a6b6c;margin-top:10px}details.tiv-tl{border:1px solid #e5ded4;border-radius:10px;margin:10px 0;background:#fff}details.tiv-tl summary{cursor:pointer;padding:13px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#0a4a4a}details.tiv-tl[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #f0ebe2}details.tiv-tl .tiv-tlb{padding:12px 16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq{border:2px solid #29a579;border-radius:14px;padding:22px;margin:30px 0;background:#fff}.tivq .tivq-q{margin:16px 0;padding:14px;background:#f6f3ec;border-radius:10px}.tivq .tivq-q p{font-weight:600;margin:0 0 10px}.tivq button{display:block;width:100%;text-align:left;margin:6px 0;padding:11px 14px;border:1px solid #d9d2c5;border-radius:8px;background:#fff;cursor:pointer;font-size:16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq button.tiv-ok{background:#29a579;color:#fff;border-color:#29a579}.tivq button.tiv-no{background:#fbe9e4;border-color:#e59875}.tivq .tivq-res{display:none;font-weight:700;margin-top:14px;font-size:18px;color:#106050}<\/style>\n<div class=\"tiv-verdict\"><span class=\"tiv-badge\">QUICK ANSWER<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Unconfirmed.<\/strong> Kat Von D was publicly vegan from around 2011 for over a decade. Since roughly 2022 she's removed vegan references from her social media and gone silent on the topic, fueling &#8220;did she quit?&#8221; rumors. She has never confirmed quitting, or that she hasn't. As of 2026, her personal diet is genuinely unknown. Her old makeup brand is still vegan, but she sold it in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tiv-check\">Last fact-checked: July 7, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The vegan she used to be<\/h2>\n<p>There&rsquo;s no doubt about the past. Kat Von D went vegan around 2011 after watching Forks Over Knives, having been vegetarian for years. And she meant it. She reformulated her entire makeup line to be 100% vegan in 2016, launched a vegan shoe line, received Farm Sanctuary&rsquo;s Compassion in Action Award, and worked on the animal-rights documentary Dominion. Her words at the time, <a href=\"https:\/\/mercyforanimals.org\/blog\/kat-von-d-veganism-changed-me\/\">via Mercy For Animals<\/a>: &ldquo;To me, veganism is consciousness.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>For over ten years, she was as loud a vegan as the beauty world had.<\/p>\n<h2>Then the signals went quiet<\/h2>\n<p>Around 2022, fans started noticing things. The &ldquo;V&rdquo; for vegan disappeared from her Instagram bio. The fundraisers and vegan advocacy posts stopped. It coincided with a sweeping personal reinvention: she moved from Los Angeles to small-town Indiana, publicly renounced witchcraft, and converted to Christianity, formally joining the Eastern Orthodox Church around 2025.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s a person overhauling their entire identity, and veganism appears to have quietly fallen out of the public part of it. But, and this matters, correlation isn&rsquo;t confirmation. The only &ldquo;she eats meat now&rdquo; claim traces to an anonymous secondhand comment online. She has never addressed it. Her Wikipedia biography still describes her as vegan.<\/p>\n<p>So we&rsquo;re left with the honest version: publicly vegan for over a decade, now silent, with unverified rumors and no statement either way.<\/p>\n<h2>The brand is not the person<\/h2>\n<p>One trap to avoid: her old makeup brand. She sold it to Kendo (an LVMH company) in January 2020. It was called KVD Vegan Beauty, then rebranded to KVD Beauty in 2021, and the products remain vegan and cruelty-free. But that reflects the current owners&rsquo; decision, not Kat Von D&rsquo;s personal diet. She has no ownership and no say. A vegan lipstick with her initials tells you nothing about what she had for dinner.<\/p>\n<h2>The timeline, tap to expand<\/h2>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>Around 2011: goes vegan<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">After watching Forks Over Knives, having been vegetarian for years.

Aus S\u00fcddeutschland, besser gesagt aus dem Schwarzwald, seit 2019 Gr\u00fcnder von This Is Vegan, mittlerweile in Bali zuhause. Von hier aus treibe ich Tierschutzprojekte voran und reise um die Welt. Vegetarier bin ich seit dem 6. Lebensjahr, vegan seit \u00fcber 20 Jahren. Mein Ansatz war nie, Leuten ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen. Sondern zu zeigen, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt vegan im Alltag funktioniert. Anziehung statt Ablehnung. Genau daf\u00fcr gibt's dieses Online-Magazin und den Plantbased Podcast: Menschen inspirieren, sich f\u00fcr Tiere und Umwelt stark zu machen und vegan zu leben.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.this-is-vegan.com","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yannick.haldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/yannickhaldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.de\/thisisvegan_magazin\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@thisisvegan"],"knowsAbout":["vegane Ern\u00e4hrung","holistische Gesundheit","Ern\u00e4hrung","vegane Rezepte","Kampfsport","Kraftsport","Proteine"],"knowsLanguage":["deutsch","englisch","franz\u00f6sisch","indonesisch"],"jobTitle":"Gr\u00fcnder","url":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/author\/yannick\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40664"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40684,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40664\/revisions\/40684"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40664"},{"taxonomy":"ernaehrungsform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ernaehrungsform?post=40664"},{"taxonomy":"schwierigkeit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schwierigkeit?post=40664"},{"taxonomy":"schaerfe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schaerfe?post=40664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
