Cannes Bans Nudity, Voluminous Outfits on Red Carpet | JQJO

The Cannes Film Festival has updated its red carpet dress code for the 2025 edition, banning nudity and excessively voluminous outfits that disrupt the event's flow. This follows instances of topless protests and sheer dresses in previous years. The festival aims to maintain decorum and comply with French law, though enforcement and potential exceptions for brand ambassadors remain unclear. The new rules specify acceptable attire, including elegant shoes, and prohibit large bags. Past controversies included a heel requirement, later relaxed.
