Cannes Film Festival Enforces New Dress Code Banning Nudity and Oversized Outfits

The updated guidelines aim to enhance decency and streamline red carpet proceedings as the festival begins on May 13.

Overview

  • The Cannes Film Festival has officially prohibited nudity and voluminous outfits with large trains on the red carpet, citing decency and logistical concerns.
  • The new rules, added to the festival's charter, empower welcoming teams to deny access to attendees who violate the dress code.
  • Organizers clarified that the updated policy formalizes long-standing informal rules and aligns with French law and the festival's institutional framework.
  • The changes come as Cannes prepares to open its 78th edition, featuring high-profile premieres, A-list stars, and industry events from May 13 to May 24.
