Singer Harry Styles and Gucci landed themselves in hot water over an advertisement.

Gucci tweeted the advertisement earlier this month, showing photos of Styles wearing what appears to be a t-shirt with a teddy bear on it and carrying what looks like a small mattress.

Twitter users circulated the image on Tuesday, sharing their concern with it.

“What is this?? … Creepy alert,” one user tweeted.

Another tweeted, “It’s real. Of all the potential props available for a photo shoot, [Gucci] and Harry Styles chose a child sized mattress. This prop hides the clothes. It’s purpose is obvious.”

The criticism comes just weeks after the creative designer for the brand Balenciaga issued an apology over a controversial ad.

“I want to personally apologize for the wrong artistic choice of concept for the gifting campaign with the kids and I take my responsibility,” creative director Demna wrote in a statement.

It continues, “It was inappropriate to have kids promote objects that had nothing to do with them.”

He explained, “As much as I would sometimes like to provoke a thought through my work, I would NEVER have an intention to do that with such an awful subject as child abuse that I condemn.”
