. . . facts according to the Press . . .
In their article about the bold fashion statement made by first lady Michelle Obama during the presidential stop in Saudi Arabia, the Washington Post said, ". . . In a country that demands women adhere to a strict dress code in public (face and hair covered, and long, flowing robes) . . ."

But . . .
(http://wikitravel.org/en/Saudi_Arabia)
Women, be they local or foreign, are all required to wear an abaya, a long and loose black robe. While a headscarf is optional for non-Saudi females (particularly in Jeddah), one should at least be brought along in order to avoid possible harassment from locals and the religious police or to be used as a means of deflecting attention from potentially aggravating men.
. . . and after all, Michelle Obama is the first lady of the United States of America. Even the King knows better. . .
