Is it permissible for a woman to remove her hijab or wear a fashionable hijab that does not meet the conditions of the correct hijab, only among women at a wedding or similar event, given that she is not safe from being secretly photographed?

It is permissible for a woman to appear adorned before other women, provided she covers her 'awrah as defined in No. 33388. However, if she knows that there is someone photographing her, she must cover her body. As for a mere weak possibility of being photographed, it does not necessitate veiling.
