MAKING WAVES RANIA YOUSSEF

-

Egyptian actress Rania Youssef has been charged with public obscenity for wearing a revealing black gown at the closing ceremony of Cairo Internatio­nal Film Festival last week. The dress featured a black bodysuit covered in a sheer, beaded overlay that showcased her legs. After images of her red-carpet attire made waves, a lawsuit was filed against the actress, accusing her of “inciting debauchery.” Youssef acknowledg­ed the flap on her social media accounts, saying she didn’t mean to offend anyone, but the charge could land her in prison for five years if she’s convicted.
