She's damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't!
Khloe Kardashian is currently on a work trip in Dubai, and the reality star did the right thing by attempting to adhere to the conservative style of the culture by donning a niqab and hijab, which are traditional garments worn by Muslim women.
"Habibi Love," she captioned the snapshot, which just showed her beautiful eyes peering out of the drapings.
Fans were quick to criticize the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star for being insensitive with her blasé attitude. Women getting killed and beaten up for wearing the niqab, but you keep pretending it’s a fashion accessory, the disrespect," one commenter fumed.
Other followers defended the brunette beauty though, and maintained she was just sticking the norm of the region. They also pointed out that the E! starlet's boyfriend French Montana is Muslim, so she would never intentionally be offensive to the religion.
Team Koko on this one!
