Why is this being down voted? Do readers of this board really think a woman chess player from Papua New Guinea would be allowed to participate in a chess tournament on American soil if she refuses to conform to the US cultural norm that requires a woman cover her upper body when outside the home?
Isn't that exactly the point? By your own choice of words it's clear it's not culturally acceptable in the US and Europe, (except for specially designated areas/specially designated times).

Can a female from Papua New Guinea play without wearing a shirt in the "ultra religious" country of the USA?
According to [1], the answer seems to be yes by and large.

I think we all know in practice they would be arrested in most states, even if there were no eventual charges. (Similar to what would happen in Iran)

In Boulder, yes; absolutely.
Yup, and no one got arrested in San Francisco, either (SFW, but barely):
