Stefano Gabbana prompts FURY among Selena Gomez fans

The controversial designer, who came under fire earlier this week after making a catty comment about supermodel Kate Moss, shared his less-than-kind thoughts about 25-year-old Selena on a post by fashion news site The Catwalk Italia, which asked its 1.4 million followers to pick their favorite from a selection of five outfits worn by the singer. 

Instead, however - as Instagram account Diet Prada pointed out – Gabbana, 55, chose to write, 'She's so ugly!!!' under the picture, a comment which immediately sparked a flurry of outraged responses from Selena's fans.

In the photo, Selena is pictured on the far right in a red Dolce & Gabbana gown that she wore while attending the 2011 Oscars with ex-beau Justin Bieber.

Gabbana's comment has since been deleted, but that hasn't stopped a wave of Selena's most avid fans targeting the designer in response to his treatment of Selena.

One wrote: '@stefanogabbana I don't realize what you just did. Good look sir. Selena fans don't play games.' 

But Gabbana, 55, seemed unfazed by the scrutiny and responded back to the Instagrammer with a simple 'hahaha'.

After fashion blog Diet Prada featured his comment on its on Instagram page, he has since changed his tune and tried to backtrack the original comment.

The designer re-commented on the photo, 'è proprio brutta', which translates from Italian to 'its so ugly.' It is unclear if Gabbana was attempting to make commenters think he was talking about the dresses being ugly instead of Selena.

But the fans were not impressed by the designer's comment and quickly came to the defense of the singer.

One person wrote: 'The only thing ugly I see here is your personality.' 

Other fans appeared to know even know who the famous designer was after multiple people responded to his jab asking him 'who are you?'

Selena has been pictured on multiple occasions wearing Dolce & Gabbana dresses to award shows such as the 2011 Billboard Music Awards and the 2013 ESPY Awards. 

Gabbana has been known to make controversial comments within his decades long career as an esteemed designer.
