The Cannes Film Festival has officially updated its dress code—and this time, it’s taking aim at bare-all looks. As the 78th edition gets underway, organizers have clarified a long-unspoken rule: full nudity is now explicitly banned across all areas of the festival, including the red carpet.
The move comes after years of buzzy fashion moments that tested the line between high fashion and NSFW, with see-through gowns and barely-there outfits becoming staples for headline-grabbing celebrities. While Cannes has always been known for its glitzy, over-the-top red carpet, this update makes it clear that the festival wants to keep things a little more buttoned up.
Cannes isn’t exactly new to laying down rules—this is the same event that once banned selfies and famously required heels at premieres. Now, with fashion trends pushing further into risqué territory, it looks like the organizers are drawing a clear line. So for anyone planning to make a bold entrance this year: you might want to rethink the sheer mesh and go for something a little more classic Cannes.
