“Yesterday at the Lourve, I was stopped at the entrance by a guard for my outfit,” she wrote on the since-expired Instagram story.
“He made the most disgusted and horrible gestures and facial expressions, swore at me to cover up, with hate filled eyes stopped me entering.”
Newsha added: “I was heartbroken, because I thought the Louvre enforced this archaic rule. Turns out it does not.”
According to Sun Fabulous, she has been to the Louvre wearing a similar outfit and had no problem at all.

The Louvre website states that it is forbidden for visitors to wear “swimsuits or be naked, barefoot or bare-chested”.
Newshas followers rushed to her defence and posted comments in praise of her outfit.
One wrote: “Im sorry that happened. I think your outfit is the most beautiful thing. Biggest love.”
Another said: “When I visited The Louvre with my sister a few years ago we wore winter clothes with boots and we got denied entry by security for being under dressed.
“They were so rude about it too and cussed us out until we had no choice but to walk away feeling embarrassed. Your outfit is beautiful.”

A third commented: “We are in the 21st century and there are still people that are hostile about what youre wearing and the way you wear it. I dont know what to say, only that Im extremely speechless.”
Despite the misunderstanding, Newsha claims the experience didnt ruin her time in Paris.
She added: “I think the way to respect art is to enjoy it with your soul, your clothing has nothing to do with it.
“And the female body is celebrated in art so much, it would be ridiculous to be offended by it while working at a gallery. We were welcomed warmly at Musée DOrsay, so we were able to enjoy art the way we wanted to in the end!"
Daily Star Online has contacted Louvre Paris for comment.
The Louvre is the worlds biggest art museum contains historic pieces including the Mona Lisa.
Visitors are advised to wear comfortable clothing due to the vast amount of art in the museum.
