A scantily clad Australian Mikaela Testa was reportedly asked to “cover-up” while vacationing on the beaches of a mostly Muslim island

Mikaela Testa, 22, is adored for her hourglass figure that she shows off posing in micro bikinis.

And while Mikaela may be a big fan of her cheeky outfits, the locals on Cocos Island were not.

“So I landed in Cocos yesterday and the lady who owns the Airbnb that we’re staying in received some calls from some locals saying I should be wearing something more culturally appropriate because this island is predominantly Muslim,” she shared.

“So today I am covering up to show some respect, and I respect their wishes 100 percent.”

Testa and her boyfriend Atis Paul are currently vacationing on Cocos Island is an Australian territory midway between Australia and Sri Lanka. The small island was recorded as being 75% Muslim, according to the 2016 census.

As Testa explains the situation, she is seen wearing a brown scarf covering her head and shoulders and a skin-tight maxi dress.

In Muslim culture, it is often custom for women to be required or choose to cover everything but their hands, face, and feet in public.

Testa did not appear to give any pushback to the locals’ requests but some still commented on her posts, claiming she did not do enough — with some noting that her dress was skin-tight and had cutouts that highlighted her hips and cleavage.

This isn’t the first time Testa has come under fire for her social media posts. Testa drew a lot of criticism in 2019 when she released a teary video — which went viral — protesting Instagram’s decision to cease showing “likes.”
