What does being beautiful have to do with anything? It should be OK, then for an ugly woman to ruin her face in the sun and samd? It's a pleasant theory, but it doesn't stand up to even the most casual bit of historical scrutiny.
Veiling woman came directly from Mohamed, who was worried about other men looking at his wife (wives). Every time he felt threatened: oh gosh, the Angel just spoke to me again, and said you have to stay behind that curtain when my friends come over, you have to cover your hair, you have to cover your face, etc.
Before Mo, women wore pretty much the same climate appropriate robes as everyone else.
Try Nine Parts of Desire for a capsule overview on how modern attitudes toward women in Islam developed directly from Mohamed's personal life.
