French Vogue slammed for GLORIFYING Julia Fox's headscarf while hijab ban exists
Ever since French Vogue took to their Instagram to share an image of Julia Fox in a headscarf, they have been under fire. The image was captioned in a way that indicated the magazine was praising Fox on wearing the headscarf. It is a known fact that France has multiple laws restricting Muslim women from wearing the hijab.
On French Vogue's Instagram, an image of Julia Fox wearing an all black outfit was shared. They captioned the post by saying, "“Yes to the headscarf! Swipe left for your recap of @JuliaFox and @KayeWest style journey at the haute couture shows in Paris this week.”

Fox was seen rocking a black leather jacket, a pair of black gloves, sunglasses, and a black scarf. Fans and followers slammed Vogue for this post and their enthusiastic caption, labelling the fashion bible 'hypocritical'. One user wrote, "'Yes to the headscarf' but no to hijab. Really smart." Another user said, "How come she wears headscarf and doesn’t get a fine and get her headscarf snatched or pulled in streets of France… strange though… Oh wait sorry I forgot she ain’t Muslim."
This user said, "Oh right so if a white woman wears a scarf it’s fashion but god forgot a Muslim woman of colour wears it then you best ban it? Give us all a break." Another added, "The double standard of praising her for wearing a headscarf in a country that actively oppresses Muslim women from doing the same is so shameful." One user even said, "not vogue FRANCE writing "yes to headscarves" as if that same country hasn't banned a v specific demographic from wearing them 😀"
Offering some guidance on how to run their social media, this user said, "Please go back to reporting about haute couture, fashion, designers rather than focusing on over exposed stars." One blatantly asked, "How much is Kanye paying you??" After this backlash, the magazine spammed their feed with multiple posts yo bury the Julia Fox post. However, social media users on Twitter and Instagram were not ready to forget or forgive.
After senators approved the decision supporting the "removal of religious symbols," the new amendment came into force. The state explained why it was necessary, saying: "Today, there is legal uncertainty about the wearing of religious symbols, and it is necessary for the state to clearly define the rules. If the wearing of the veil is not explicitly forbidden, we could see the emergence of community sports clubs promoting certain religious signs.”
