more-inA Vogue cover photo of a Saudi princess behind the wheel of a red convertible has ignited heated debate, as it follows a slew of arrests of women driving activists. The image of Princess Hayfa bint Abdullah al-Saud in the driver’s seat, wearing leather gloves and high heels, is on the front cover of Vogue Arabia’s June edition. For many, it’s all they have known,” Princess Hayfa, the daughter of the late King Abdullah, was quoted as saying in the magazine. At least four of those activists were released last week, Amnesty International said, but the fate of the others remains unclear. Many on social media posted the Vogue cover with images of the detained activists photoshopped over the princess’s face.
