Honorees include the following:
- Millie Bobby Brown won two Libby Awards: Favorite Celeb Cruelty-Free Beauty Brand for Florence by Mills—her vegan line of makeup and other products that aren’t tested on animals—and Pawsome Animal Adoption Advocate for adopting her dog, Pepperoni, and continually encouraging her followers to visit their local animal shelter to give a companion animal a loving home.
- Madelyn Cline won Best Viral Moment for Animals for promoting vegan leather and sustainable fashion through her collaboration with Stella McCartney.
- Katy Perry’s designer shoe brand, Katy Perry Collections, won Favorite Celeb Vegan Brand for its unique, colorful, and animal-friendly styles.

“These animal allies are making a difference every day just by promoting delicious vegan food and trendy vegan products and adopting from animal shelters,” says peta2 Senior Director Rachelle Owen. “peta2 encourages everyone to follow in their compassionate footsteps by keeping animals off their plates and out of their shopping carts.”
Libby Award winners will receive a personalized certificate from peta2 and a year’s worth of bragging rights. Other 2023 nominees include Kourtney Kardashian, Wiz Khalifa, Billie Eilish, Halle Bailey, Selena Gomez, and Ariana Grande.
