The Prime Minister, in a dark blue trouser suit, made sure she had her wrists and ankles covered, in accordance with strict dress codes for women in Saudi Arabia.
But her choice of outfit as she arrived on Tuesday afternoon was contrary to Foreign Office guidelines, which state: “Women should wear conservative, loose-fitting clothes as well as a full length cloak (abaya) and a headscarf.”
Mrs May won widespread praise on Twitter, with users saying they were “proud you have not bowed down” to the regime, and that “secular women are equal and free”.

Full title: Theresa May takes stand against Saudi regime by not wearing headscarf - ignoring Foreign Office advice
Too bad she bowed.
That’s a woman she’s shaking hands with...
Hussy.
Damn these Wahhabi maniacs.
How the hell do they get off telling US how to dress when we visit their lunatic asylum of a Country when they come HERE and demand they don’t have to comply with OUR dress code?
She should have worn a mimiskirt.
I hate Wahhabis.
She bows down to EVERY other PC thing,including Muzzie “immigrants” so I pass.
Thank goodness!
Well, that’s good. Her statement after the most recent London jihadi attack was a complete suck-up to Islam, so I’m actually rather surprised.
I’m sure the Saudis were happy to let her do it. And that it was arranged ahead of time. Great PR. Let’s see her drive in Saudi.
She is a Prime Minister (head of government) for a Monarchy, and she bows or curtsies when meeting her own Queen (the head of state). It is appropriate for her to do so when meeting another monarch.
In the British system, the Queen gets the respect, but the PM gets the political power. It works for them.
On the other hand, our President is both head of government and head of state, and represents the American people. He should bow to no one. Mr. Obama didn’t understand that...

Good point.
Even better, I’d like to see her drive to the nearest Christian church. Oh, wait. Even though there are thousands of Christians in Saudi Arabia, there is not a single Christian church in the entire country.
A little side fact: One of the largest mosques in the world in located in Rome.
She can now to HER royalty all she wants. They don’t bow to anyone is US or Europe (even royalty there).
Maybe you don’t understand how mussies view low toeing so you ought to educate yourself
Theresa may has continuously made the same wishy-washy statements on Islam - its a “religion of peace,” “nothing in the Quran justifies what ISIS or Al Qaeda is doing,” “these extremists don’t represent true Islam” etc, etc..
She’s George Bush lite.
Unless I missed it, we, as a nation, don’t have a dress code. Bikini or burqa, in most places, you can wear what you want. Sometimes you cover up out of respect for others feelings, other times you don’t.
The only restrictions are what private property owners impose on their own property and broad legal restrictions on exposing genitals and breasts in public.
The Saudis can set their own rules for their own country.
Here is how our brave, glass ceiling-shattering Feminists go to Saudi Arabia.
