We don't cover our hair at weddings because the male "wedding" and the female "wedding" are usually separate (the groom walks in at the end of the female wedding, that's usually when women cover up).. A lot of these girls are gorgeous but they make themselves look worse with the OTT everything.. They don't wear all their jewelry pieces at once, but nearly all the jewelry they own are large pieces so it looks like they're wearing everything at once We usually go to Tiffany's for jewelry and the SA said that they don't have a lot of Arab customers because all of the pieces they have are "simple" and that's not what Arabs are looking for.. The only people I see shopping at Tiffany's are tourists *Note: I'm not sure if this applies to all Arab countries, I'm talking about the ones near the gulf)

I'm not from a gulf country, far from it actually (Morocco is just south from Spain), but yeah sometimes arabs do tend to wear too much makeup and jewelry, especially people who want to show their wealth, to put it mildly.
And i agree about what aham said, regarding those women not being arabs... they're asians. I've never seen an arab wear quite that much jewelry at once!
Not meaning to offend anyone, just trying to set the record straight about the arab/muslim confusion.

And not to be chauvinistic, but wow does princess Lalla Salma of Morocco make me proud :)
