Being turned away from a designer store is the stuff anxiety dreams are made of, and many of us would be mortified to experience it.
Amplify that massively then by being a celebrity with all eyes on you being turned away.
That's reportedly what happened to Jennifer Lopez, and the star has made a name for herself over the years for some seemingly diva-esque demands.
Who can forget all of the photos with a frazzled looking Ben Affleck?

Everyone remembers the scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts gets to say 'Big mistake! Huge!' to a designer sales associate to make them eat their words after refusing to help her.
We'll have to wait and see whether J.Lo gets to recreate it after it's claimed she was turned away from a Chanel store in Turkey.

According to Turkiye Today, the star approached the Chanel store in Istanbul’s Istinye Park, but a security guard stopped her from entering.

The Daily Mail reports that the security guard 'failed to recognise her' and turned the superstar away, saying 'we're full.'
Awkward.
While you might expect a star of her size to kick up a fuss or demand to see the manager, Lopez apparently responded calmly about the embarrassing situation.
She is reported as saying 'OK, no problem' before heading to other stores to splash the cash there instead.

Jennifer was wearing a baby pink shirt and shorts with matching sunglasses for the shopping trip.
According to Page Six, some time later the store’s employees approached her and invited her to come back, however, she declined their polite offer.
She reportedly spent tens of thousands of dollars at rival stores like Celine and Beymen.

That's no doubt painful to read for the Chanel sales assistants.
An insider told the Mail about her ongoing music woes: "Jennifer is obviously massively successful and talented but it's been hard for her to find a label who she is on the same page with."
Speaking about her latest album, they said: "It only went to No55 in the UK. But her team want to push forward with new music. She has spent a lot of time in the studio this year."
However, the star was all smiles celebrating her birthday the day after her show in Antalya.

She shared a series of snaps on Instagram, starting with a selfie, captioned "BirthDAY!"
"Antalya, Turkey. What a gift you all are! Thank you so much for all your beautiful birthday wishes.”
She was seen dancing around a birthday cake, as well as showing off a bouquet of flowers before relaxing.
