The lining crisis occurred in the actress Ola Ghanem, as she appeared with a soft look at the festival, so she wore a black dress, transparent and exposed at the chest, and succeeded in raising controversy about her after some questioned the existence of a lining and revealed the features of her body.
As usual, the media, Bossi Shalaby, the widow of the late artist Mahmoud Yassin, topped the “trend” because of a photo she published within the festival’s activities, which brought her together with the star Amr Youssef, where she used one of the photo editing programs, and the latter appeared wearing cosmetics, which prompted him to respond quickly to it through his personal account in Instagram, publishing his real photo, and confirming that he did not take pictures with her on any artistic occasion.
