Wearing the hijab is more than a fashion statement or a gesture of respect during religious occasions or visits to places of worship. For Muslim women, it is a lifelong commitment. In Malaysia, some celebrities have chosen to adopt a more modest lifestyle, particularly after marriage.
Malaysian singer Daiyan Trisha recently surprised fans by posting a video on social media in which she is seen wearing a fully covered pink baju kurung and a hijab. The clip sparked speculation over whether she intends to wear the headscarf permanently. Here’s the full story:
On Thursday (15th May), Daiyan Trisha shared a video on TikTok, happily posing for the camera in a pink baju kurung and hijab. She posted the same video on Instagram earlier today (Friday, 16th May). Fans on TikTok praised the singer’s appearance, with many commenting on how beautiful she looked. Some were curious as to whether a boyfriend had influenced her decision to dress more modestly.
Instagram comments, meanwhile, largely focused on her looks, with several users admitting they had replayed the video repeatedly just to admire her. The real question, however, is whether the 31-year-old was hinting at a decision to wear the hijab permanently. According to posts on her and a friend’s Instagram Stories, Daiyan was apparently on set for a shoot for a TV3 programme titled “Di Sebalik Jubah”. The artist was seen wearing the Sofia Abaya collection from Lumour Design, posing next to content creator Amira Azman, who was wearing the same collection.
While the viral clip turned out to be part of a project shoot, whether or not Daiyan Trisha eventually chooses to wear the hijab permanently remains her personal decision. Regardless of the outcome, fans are likely to continue supporting her, whatever path she takes. What did you think of Daiyan Trisha’s look on set?
