Despite the impressive celebrity turn out, the fashion figures are no strangers to backlash. In 2015, Gabbana passionately defended Dolce’s controversial statements about gay parents after Dolce toldPanoramamagazine, “We oppose gay adoptions.” Elton John slammed the designers and announced he would no longer support their label.

At the time, Victoria Beckham, Al Roker, Ricky Martin and Courtney Love also spoke out in support of John on social media.

In the years since, the controversial designers have earned a reputation for making more unfiltered remarks on social media.

He appeared to write “è proprio brutta,” on the photo, which roughly translates to “She’s so ugly.”

Gabbana also went after Kate Moss onthe same Catwalk Italia Instagram page, dissing a Saint Laurent look she was wearing. Moss has famously walked the Dolce & Gabbana catwalks in the ’90s, and Gomez has also worn several Dolce & Gabbana looks in the past.
