Kim Kardashian Dons a Burqa in Dubai
When in Rome, right?
Or, in this case, Dubai, where Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner touched down Tuesday.
Going by Kim's Twitter account, she's been having an amazing time and she's loving their accommodations at the ritzy Atlantis, the Palm Hotel.
But while out shopping in the gold district tonight, the mother-daughter duo decided to try to blend in as much as possible. As much as two famous Americans with bodyguards and eyelashes too long for their veils can blend in, that is.
At one store, Kim and Kris were fitted for traditional burqas, robes that cover from head to toe, and even tried on niqabs, which shield the entire face, minus a thin slit to see through.
But even wrapped up in solid black, Kim attracted plenty of attention. According to an eyewitness, their security team had to hold hands to form a ring around the E! stars as they made their way through the marketplace as people—who at least sounded like fans, anyway—cheered and called out to them.
Kim also enjoyed some more contemporary Dubai fashion as well, busting out new colorful caftans and tunics from Marena y Sol and getting dolled up for dinner and seeing the sights.
"Seriously the woman in Dubai are sooo gorgeous!!! I'm sure @RobKardashian is so jealous he didn't come w me! WOW these woman are beautiful!" she wrote.
"I was telling my sisters, we've got to start up a hotel in Dubai and design all the different rooms and floors," Kim told reporters during her stay. "I like to pay attention to what my fan base is really asking for, whether it's hair and makeup, clothing brands...everything I think will be successful here and I look forward to getting to know the people here."
For now, anyway, Kim is in town to mark the local launch of her signature fragrance at Sephora in the Dubai Mall, as well as to open the first Millions of Milkshakes location outside of the U.S.
"Can't wait for you all to try my shake xoxo," she tweeted tonight.

Re: Kim Kardashian Dons a Burqa in Dubai
I lived in Dubai for 6 years and was married to an Emirati. The vast majority of Americans do NOT wear a shayla or burka/abaya ! The very few that do are converted to Islam. She is doing this completely for show not to blend in
you will stand out more, NOT blend in
Emirati's make up about 8% of the population there; it was a British colony until the early 1970's.

I don't think anyone believes they were doing it to blend in.

Re: Kim Kardashian Dons a Burqa in Dubai
I;m sure this was a photo op for her or the show. If that is the case, i find it disrespectful to wear a religious garment for publicity.

That was the first thing I thought - that it seemed quite disrespectful to me.

That was the first thing I thought - that it seemed quite disrespectful to me.
Im pretty sure I saw a photo of her at The Dubai Mall wearing a very tight and sleeveless dress. That is illegal at the mall. in fact all entrance doors have a huge sign with a dress code. I have known woman being approached by security there for the way they dress.
Im on a few other forums out there and most woman and religious men are very disgusted with this photo.
If she would have been consistant and dressed more modestly while staying there ( non clinging outfits, covering kness and upper arms) than it would have been less upsetting.
But to dress as she does in the US and than make a show of donning traditional dress was upsetting. Woman who wear traditional dress do so to blend in not to draw attention.
Another aspect i might add- many woman in surrounding countries have no choice but to wear an abaya and cover. Many have FOUGHT and been jailed to have a choice not to. For them it represents a way of life they had no choice in being part of. To wear it for show in public like that was upsetting for them.
Now I know many woman choose to wear it for personal and religious reasons and I respect that. But this is different
