Though her performance wowed devoted fans, it seems some religious leaders were less than impressed by Selena Gomez' outfit.
The 20-year-old singer has been asked to issue an apology for donning a red bindi, an ornament sacred to Hindu religion, as she performed her new single Come And Get It at the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Rajan Zed, leader of the Universal Society of Hinduism, told WENN via MSN that 'Selena should apologize and then she should get acquainted with the basics of world religions' as he discussed why Selena's wardrobe choices were offensive.
The Spring Breakers star wore a sparkling shredded red dress, which she teamed with chunky gold jewellery, dark makeup and tousled locks... and the red bindi.
Somewhat ironically, the pop star had told MTV News prior to the show that 'The whole record kind of has a world feel to it in a way'.
But Zed explained that 'The bindi on the forehead is an ancient tradition in Hinduism and has religious significance'.
