Based on the pictures alone, it would have been, indeed, a trip of a lifetime. But the Dubai New Years holiday that gal pals Selena Gomez, Shay Mitchell, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid took is not without controversy.
Apparently, Selena Gomez's latest faux pas inside a mosque during a jaunt to Abu Dhabi has earned the Disney alum the ire of its leaders.
Out of respect, mosques do not allow photos to be taken inside where the subjects are seen laughing and smiling inside a sacred place; more so when it comes to risqué poses that reveal too much skin.
Unfortunately, it seems the BFFs and crew didn't get the meme. Gomez posted a group picture of the gang who were all smiles inside the mosque, with Gomez being singled out for exposing her ankles in a 'sexy' pose.
Curiously, another famous celeb found herself in the same situation the previous year. Rihanna visited the same mosque and took a picture of herself. Surprisingly, after the singer posted the image, she was immediately asked to leave; Gomez and friends weren't.
