She�s used to causing controversy with her racy music videos, but even dressed head-to-toe in a hooded black jumpsuit Rihanna has managed to provoke outrage.
The 25-year-old "Diamonds" singer posted images on her Instagram account showing her posing at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in UAE, where she is currently on tour.
Despite a very conscious effort to tone down her usual attention-grabbing-garb, she is seen sporting crimson lipstick and wearing dark red fingernails while adopting a series of trademark sultry, pouting poses that some have deemed "disrespectful" for a place of worship. Her followers on Twitter couldn't decide whether to condemn the pictures or enjoy them.
�Rihanna may look gorgeous and all but she�s covering her head out of fashion not out of respect for the mosque,� wrote one user.
Another person responded to the images writing: �I don�t see how Rihanna posing adjacent to a mosque in Abu Dhabi is disrespectful.
"If anything she�s showing respect by supporting the hijab.�

I'm not outraged in the least I think she showed respect by wearing hijab at a mosque and her poses were not sexual. She looks really classy and I think she has shown women look chic in hijab not ugly like so many anti-hijab people claim. I also think women shouldn't have to listen to anything men say about hijab. They can think and choose for themselves inshaAllah.
