Cannes Film Festival Enforces No-Nudity Policy on Red Carpet
The Cannes Film Festival, known for its exacting standards and glamorous flair, is making headlines ahead of its 78th edition by implementing a new dress code. In an effort to maintain decorum, festival organizers have declared that "nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival."
While nudity was never explicitly endorsed, the updated policy reflects the cultural shift towards sheer and "nude" fashion trends, gaining attention in recent events such as the Grammys. Cannes press officials clarified that the aim of the rule is not to regulate attire but to uphold a standard of decorum in line with French law.
In addition to the no-nudity clause, Cannes has reiterated its long-standing prohibition against oversized outfits that disrupt the flow of traffic or complicate seating arrangements at premieres. The festival has garnered attention over the years for its strict enforcement of evening wear; attendees are required to don black tie attire for screenings at the Grand Theatre Lumière. Surprisingly, in the past, some women have even been turned away for not wearing heels, underscoring the festival’s rigorous dress code enforcement.
Though Cannes instituted a ban on selfies in 2018, labeling them "grotesque," many celebrities have casually snapped pictures on the iconic Palais steps, reflecting the enduring spirit of individual expression.
As the festival is set to begin Tuesday, this dress code update serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between artistic expression and the traditions upheld at one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals.
