Lawsuits filed against an Egyptian actress for wearing a see-through dress have been withdrawn after she made a public apology, two lawye

rs who brought cases against her said Wednesday.

Rania Youssef was accused of "inciting debauchery" last week after appearing at the closing session of the Cairo International Film Festival wearing a revealing black lacy dress that showed her legs.

"We have withdrawn this morning the complaint we filed against Rania Youssef," lawyer Amer Abdelsalam told AFP.

The 45-year-old actress was set to appear in court on January 12 to face separate lawsuits brought by Abdelsalam and Samir Sabri, known for lodging similar complaints against other public figures, among others.
