Overview

  • The updated dress code prohibits full nudity and voluminous gowns, citing decency and logistical concerns, including guest movement and theater seating.
  • Reception teams are tasked with denying red carpet access to attendees who violate the new clothing rules.
  • The guidelines prescribe classic evening wear, such as long dresses for women and tuxedos for men, with exceptions for cocktail dresses and dark suits.
  • For the first time, women are allowed to wear flat yet elegant shoes, though sneakers remain explicitly banned.
  • The measures aim to curb the trend of revealing 'naked dresses' seen in recent years, aligning with French public decency laws and festival traditions.
