When it comes to the Kardashians‘, their fashion choices are usually the least controversial thing about them. That all changed today when Khloe Kardashian’s choice to post a selfie on Instagram dressed in a full niqab while on a trip to Dubai caused a stir on social media. Headscarves are seen as a sign of modesty and a symbol of religious faith in the Muslim community. However, in Dubai, the niqab is an optional garment and tends to be worn mostly by older, more conservative women, making Khloe’s choice as a foreigner an unusual one. There was both backlash and support for Khloe on Twitter for a variety of reasons; check those out in the gallery above.
