In Paris for fashion week, she decided to post on Instagram what appears to be a homeless person reading Vogue.

"Paris is full of surprises...and @voguemagazine readers in unexpected places," she is captioned the Instagram post.

The post has since been deleted.

After an outcry from her follower, she defended the post, commenting: "Why cruel? The person to me is as dignified as anyone else!"
