Cannes makes it official: No nudity on the red carpet
- The Cannes Film Festival updated its dress code on May 12, 2025, banning nudity on the red carpet and throughout the event venues.
- The festival clarified that this ban formalizes existing rules aimed at prohibiting full nudity in line with French law and institutional guidelines.
- This update follows increased attention to sheer and nude dresses popularized by recent celebrity appearances, such as Bianca Censori's Grammys look.
- The policy also prohibits voluminous outfits with large trains, citing interference with guest traffic and theater seating, while maintaining black tie requirements for evening premieres.
- The dress code revision is expected to curb rising exhibitionism trends on the Croisette and reinforce decency standards at the festival’s 78th edition starting May 13, 2025.
