Pragmatic or prudish? Cannes' new dress code stirs debate
- The Cannes Film Festival updated its dress code on May 12, 2025, to explicitly ban nudity on the red carpet and elsewhere at the event.

- This change aims to curb exhibitionism at Cannes, potentially reducing the impact of shocking dress trends and maintaining decorum during the festival from May 13 to 24, 2025.
