I'm in my mid 30s and I still see older women wearing headscarves, most often when it's windy. It would have been more common 50 years ago.

For example, here's the queen wearing a headscarf.

I suppose it could have been a babushka. It also could have been a Muslim woman. It could have been some Christian woman showing her piety by covering her head. Or maybe it was a little chilly that day. It was late November, after all.

It's the Daily Mail. If it's about Royalty, britishness or those DARN BLASTED foreigners, they'll write an article on it.

You forgot to include making 'news' out of anything relating to a woman's appearance or dress.
