THEY say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. But what do you do when in Lake Como?
Well, popular TV host Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor, 28, decided to enjoy a boat ride.
Leaving the Italian resort town of Bellagio, she happily smiled at the camera, as seen in a photo she shared on her Instagram account yesterday.
Captioning the photo as "Leaving Bellagio in style", Neelofa was dressed in a pair of beige jacket and a matching Naelofar hijab.
But there was one thing which looked a little off with her hijabista appearance -- her ripped jeans.
Some Netizens didn’t quite agree with her choice of denim, which they deemed inappropriate.
Her elder sister, Noor Nabila, defensively responded to a comment: “Kenap (sic) dengan seluar tu? U ke yang pilih apa dia pakai. So kalau dia pakai legging kat dalam dia nak kena DM u utk inform so that u tak judge.” (What’s wrong with the pants? Do you have a say in what she wears? If she wore leggings under (her jeans), must she inform you personally so that you won’t judge her?)
Some also commented by cynically questioning whether there were indeed leggings underneath the torn jeans, and replied that skin-coloured leggings could still cause prejudice against her, which is discouraged in Islam.
Netizens also pointed out as Neelofa is also an icon for the youths, she should set a good example for the youngsters, especially in her fashion choice, seeing that she is a hijab-wearing celebrity and had already performed the Haj.
Neelofa has since disabled the comment for that particular photo on her Instagram.
