Nigella, The Burkini And The "Betrayal Of Her Own Brand". Well, Not Really

Nigella Lawson ruffled a few feathers recently by daring to wear a burkini on a Sydney beach. And why not, surely no free society should ‘allow’ you to cover up on the beach. There must also be a few wondering who has oppressed her in to making such a decision.
Reading the commentary in the newspapers has been amusing, as people question her motivation.
"Whether this decision was a style blunder, a 'betrayal of her own brand', or a defiant and admirable insistence on privacy for her body."
I am hazarding a guess, but as she does have quite pale skin, perhaps she wants to protect herself from prolonged sun light exposure. Or maybe she’s a little self conscious and feels more comfortable covering up. Whatever her reason, given the media coverage her outing got, she may think twice about wearing it again. I hope that's not the case.
