Although, the snaps have sparked heated debate, with social media users in the region around the hashtag #?????_??????_????_????, which translates as "the trial of Khulood the model is a must.' Some of them are defending the girl, pointing out the privileges afforded to Western women by Saudi authorities.
US First Lady Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump, daughter of the president, did not cover their hair when they visited Saudi Arabia in May.
