Wow, what would Egypt do with the dresses our celebs wear? Like Lil Kim who wears nothing but those nip covers on top tmz etnow

😮

Don’t they have worse problems than this to worry about? 🤨🤔 Time to Enter this century, people!

What she wore is acceptable compared to the bold half dressed women at Cairo International Film Festival.

metoooooooooooo

She’ll only lose one ear for the offense.

Get your heads out of the age of cavemen, Egypt! She’s not even remotely revealing. You’re scared of strong women. That’s your real problem, tiny men.

Sad😥

She has beautiful black hair

Didn't realize Egyptians were so close minded & backward. Don't see anything remotely revealing, let alone obscene in this dress. Hope Rania gets all the support she needs.

Feminists? Ya got anything to say about this? This is what real courage looks like.

She looks hot 🌋🌋🌋

Yes because the middle eastern countries are so advanced. Sad.

What a screwed up law

She’s Egyptian. I’m sure she knew the law, but wore the dress to a) make a point, and b) get notoriety. She’s got guts, or else she’s incredibly dumb. I’m voting guts.

Ridiculous

Stuff like this goes on all around the world and we're worried about which bathroom a person can use

Yeah, where is the outrage from western civilized world? Muslim countries are barbaric.

Unreal

It would be a little more understandable if she was from another country and didn't know about Egypt and their laws. She is egyptian and has lived with those laws

We are so occupied with the Clash of Civilizations that we forgot that there is a Clash of Cultures in the civilizations

Backward and barbarous.

Bullshit!!

BS

PINK HAT MORONS, THIS IS SHARIA

Why would anyone leave in Egypt

Genie115 She’ll do her time in prison then go to an Islamic re-education camp. Pretty normal for people who don’t tow the party (“religious”) line there

She looks fab, just like the prettiest one in the harem. 👍 These old Egyptian daddies, this trapped in medieval times, find it ok to oppress women, beat them, rape them, marry young minors (girls) to disgusting old grandpas. The country, their laws, and lots of the men are sick.

Just think if the Muslim brotherhood was still in power in Egypt she would be publicly stoned.

Wtf for?

Off my bucket list.

Modesty and standards still matter in parts of the world...even if it seems 'oppressive.'

There will be Halal to pay..

Egyptian actress to be tried for wearing revealing dressCAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian actress is facing trial next month charged with public obscenity after she attended the closing ceremony of a film festival in Cairo wearing a see-through embroidered gauze dress that revealed the entirety of her legs. Rania Youssef's trial, which is scheduled to begin Jan. 12, follows a complaint to the chief prosecutor by a group of lawyers against the young actress. Egypt is a mostly conservative country with a Muslim majority. The Arab country of 100 million people has retained vestiges of secularism despite decades of growing religious conservatism, but Youssef's case serves as a reminder that Islamic fundamentalism still pervades society five years after an Islamist president was ousted by the military. Shame on Gen. Sisi AlsisiOfficial 👎 Utter bullshit 🙄
