The Duchess, who adorned four different dresses for various official engagements through the day won a lot of love for wearing Pakistani attire, i.e. shalwar kameez. Her husband, Prince William also jumped in and wore a sherwani on Tuesday night for the dinner reception at Pakistan Monument.

People in Pakistan adored Kate Middleton for her sense of style, terming her “graceful” and “elegant.”

But the discussion on Pakistan’s Internet was not just about how the royalty looked beautiful in our traditional dresses, but it soon turned into an unnecessary debate on the western dresses Pakistani women wear while abroad.

Many men on Twitter resorted to policing women on how they should dress up, with some even saying that only dupatta makes a woman look graceful.

The men policing women’s choice of clothing failed to notice that how their comparison was quite hypocritical.

If westerners can wear our traditional dresses while visiting Pakistan then by the same logic Pakistani women can also wear western clothes while abroad. After all, it’s all about respecting each others culture, no?

Sadly, a big no from most Pakistani men.

Pakistani actor Mansha Pasha is also fed up with “gora complex” and criticism of actors based on what they choose to wear.

Pakistani women were genuinely horrified by the utterly weird turn the royal visit took on social media!

As this guy put it, Kate Middleton by wearing shalwar kameez in Pakistan and Pakistani actresses by wearing western attire while abroad are both respecting each others culture! Take that haters!
