Egyptian actor Rania Youssef can now breath a sigh of relief as the lawsuit filed against her has been dropped. The actor has been lucky enough to steer clear of a legal imbroglio over the see-through dress she wore at the Cairo International Film Festival.

The 45-year-old was set to go on trial in January after a group of lawyers complained about her black dress - which revealed her legs - to Egypt's chief prosecutor. If convicted, she could have faced five years in prison.
