Lindsay Lohan teases new ‘modest’ fashion line

- ARAB NEWS

In an image on her Instagram account, Lohan posted a blackand-white portrait of herself wearing a crystal-embellishe­d scarf wrapped partially over her head and held in front of her mouth so only her eyes and hands are visible. She captioned it: “New fashion line coming soon.”

Her fans, especially Muslims and Arabs, are understand­ably excited.

“No words but beautiful,” wrote one person on Instagram. “This is a tremendous effort, keep the good work, make the fashion world a good place to stay,” posted another, while others wrote responses such as, “Masha’Allah,” an Arabic phrase which translates to “God has willed,” “Alhamdulil­lah” meaning “praise,” and “Subhan’Allah” or “glory be to God.”

A potentiall­y modest fashion line from Lohan should not be surprising. Fans of the actress began speculatin­g that she was embracing Islam in January, after she wiped all photos from her Instagram account and updated her bio to include a translatio­n of the Arabic phrase “Alaikum salam,” meaning “peace be unto you.”

A representa­tive for the actress, as well as her mother, quickly put the rumors to rest, confirming that Lohan had not, in fact, converted.

Lohan does remain publicly interested in Islam, however. She recently revealed that she had been “racially profiled” while wearing a headscarf at a London airport.

The actress also met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his wife last month to discuss the plight of Syrian refugees, a cause she said will be her focus for 2017.

LOS ANGELES: It is not unusual for a celebrity to launch a fashion line but the one Lindsay Lohan is reportedly working on is a bit different.
