A Message About Modesty

In the now-viral video posted on May 28 under the handle @jacquelynnmayy, Jacquelyn is seen wearing a traditional Emirati Mukhawar Jalabiya at Dubai Mall. Speaking directly to the camera, she says,

“You see how we show up to Dubai Mall? Very respectful, very put together… not doing the most, just doing it right.”

She ends with a cheeky but pointed line:

“This is Dubai Mall, not a Victoria’s Secret fashion show.”

Why So Many People Agreed

Jacquelyn’s video hit home for many people living in or visiting Dubai, especially because it touched on a topic that often sparks debate: dressing respectfully in public places.

Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping centers, is clear about its dress code. On its website, it states:

“Kindly wear respectful clothing. Shoulders and knees should be covered.”

Most malls in the UAE display similar guidelines, asking visitors to dress modestly out of respect for local culture. While Dubai is known for being open and cosmopolitan, places like malls are family-friendly spaces where modest clothing is encouraged, even if not strictly enforced.

A Reminder, Not a Rule

The video wasn’t about shaming anyone, it was more of a friendly cultural reminder. And that’s exactly why it resonated. It’s clear, casual, and relatable and the approval from Sheikh Hamdan gave it even more weight.

In a city that balances modern life and deep-rooted traditions, Jacquelyn’s post stood out by striking the right tone. Sometimes, a simple message delivered with humor and respect is all it takes to go viral.
