Mata Hari was originally a Dutch woman, who became an exotic dancer, courtesan, and spy - in short, a seedy sort of individual, Her wearing the bra we see here does say something about her, but nothing about the bra-like part of an Islamic headdress that Peter has posted. The association is almost inevitable in the western way of looking at the world, but is ultimately coincidental. Maybe that is the interesting point you are making?
