Susan Sarandon is one cool grandma at 68 -- but the "Thelma & Louise" icon made a massive mistake at Burning Man over the weekend.

The actress posted a number of photos while she was sweating it out in the desert --and one photo in particular has people calling out her irony.

In the pic, Sarandon is sitting on the ground in a pair of printed overalls and a wide-brimmed hat in a makeshift studio with a open can of black paint and hammer beside her. Most notably, a pair of $700 Madison ankle boots were casually strewn in front of her -- and she tagged the designer, a retailer that sells them and its website.



While celebrities frequently endorse products on their Instagram accounts -- Sarandon's plug was in direct defiance of one of Burning Man's 10 principles: Decommodification.

"In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising," the "10 Principles of Burning Man" document reads.

Awkward! Even more embarrassing for the actress -- she Instagrammed a snap of the festivals ethos just two days prior.
