Vogue France magazine under fire for headscarf caption
In a since-edited post, Vogue France shared a photo of actress Julia Fox wearing a black scarf tied around her head and captioned: “Yes to the headscarf.”
Many social media users took to Instagram and Twitter to call out the French fashion publication over the post’s purported “hypocritical” caption as Muslim women in France are banned from wearing the headscarf at work, school and beyond.
The outcry comes just days after it was reported that women in France are no longer allowed to wear the hijab during sporting competitions.
“The headscarf is fine as long as a Muslim isn’t wearing it right @VogueFrance?” wrote one user on Twitter.
Another said: “Yes to headscarves — unless you’re Muslim.”
