Perrie Edwards, much like her Little Mix bandmates, has sadly had to get used to cruel comments on social media over the years.

However the pretty blonde could never have imagined the storm a photo of her FEET would whip up on Instagram.

In the shot, we can see a glimpse of her denim jean cuffs, as well as her ankles and a pair of moccasin shoes.

Yet, while the majority of her more loyal fans contented themselves with oohing and aahing over her fashion choices, crueller trolls zoned in on one minuscule detail.

You guessed it; they couldn’t get over the fact that Perrie had the teeniest bit of leg stubble.

“I can see your leg stubble,” crowed one.

“Maybe we should call you Hairy Perrie?” said another.

Another added meanly: “Gross.”

And, from that moment on, almost everyone was jumping on the "why hasn't Perrie shaved?" bandwagon.

Thank goodness that some users were quick to leap to Perrie’s defence - and, you know, the defence of all women who don’t feel the need to shave every single day.

“Some girls don't mind not shaving their legs if they don't have to. I shave mine if I know my legs are going to be showing,” argued one.

“A woman shouldn't be judged if her legs are shaved or not.”

Another fumed: “Leave her leg hair alone. Like what the f**k is wrong with you? It's leg hair, everyone has it!”

However it wasn’t just Perrie’s beauty regime that was sparking debate; others accused the musician of cultural appropriation.

“Moccasins are apart of a traditional Native American regalia and something like that is earned, not just given to you. They aren't just some other piece of clothing,” commented one user.

Another added: “Who cares if she ‘likes it and has an interest in it’? Cultural appropriation is cultural appropriation. You can't defend that. Someone's culture isn't a fashion statement.”

And still one more scolded: “If you're not Native American you have no business wearing these traditional celebratory moccasins for purely ‘bohemian’ fashion purposes; it's wrong and silly and disrespectful.”

However, while many slammed Perrie for being 'disrespectful', others argued back that people had taken PC culture too far.

“What's annoying is how someone isn't aloud [sic] to wear something that comes from another culture,” one user wrote.

“Stop screaming culture appropriation. How about she's just appreciating the fashion from another culture. People always try and make it seem like this is disrespectful/culture appropriation. When I’m pretty sure she's just wearing them because she likes them.”

Another added: “It's disrespectful to that culture? You’re probably not even a part of that culture.

“They are shoes - there are bigger problems in this world than Perrie’s shoes.”

What do you think - is wearing moccasins a form of cultural appropriation?
