The veil under discussion here was not opaque and was a sheer lace. Pictures on mainstream news sources have up close shots of her face. Had any celebrity wore it she would’ve been lauded for her vintage style choice. It doesn’t not hide her face, it doesn’t even completely cover her face. It simply obscures her face slightly and if I was a 20 year old chassidista who was the bride at wedding of 25,000 I would be grateful for the veil to ease my embarrassment and stage fright. It wasn’t a decree for the rest of the world. It was a unique situation and she reacted appropriately.
