Stefano Gabbana is being blasted on social media for calling Instagram influencer Chiara Ferragni “cheap” on her wedding day. The news comes just months after the Italian designer similarly described Selena Gomez as “so ugly” on social media.
On Sept. 1, Italian fashionista and style star Ferragni wed Italian rapper and “X-Fact Italia” judge Fedez in a glamorous ceremony in Sicily, People reports. The Blonde Salad blogger sported three custom Dior gowns for the big day, and the Dolce & Gabbana co-founder quickly berated her first ensemble.

The move evidently struck a nerve with many, and the designer was soon slammed online.
“Are you just mad that this beautiful girl didn't wear a dress designed by you? Fact: A woman can put on a dress she finds in a thrift store, David's Bridal, or one of yours and if she feels lovely in it than she is! Do everyone a favor and keep your negativity to yourself!” one Instagram critic clapped.

“Not as cheap as those rhinestone D&G t-shirts you sell for $400,” one Ferragni fan mercilessly quipped.

In July, she blasted a major Italian newspaper for reportedly fat-shaming her friends during her bachelorette party in Ibiza, Spain.
Back in June, Gabbana caught similar heat for describing Selena Gomez as “so ugly” on Instagram.
