Cannes Film Festival Announces Far More Conservative Dress Code
- Starting May 13, 2025, the Cannes Film Festival will enforce a more rigorous dress policy, prohibiting revealing bare skin, oversized ensembles that obstruct movement, and garments with extended trailing fabric on the red carpet and during gala screenings in France.
- This new policy follows years of unspoken rules demanding heels and restraint on the red carpet, which several celebrities, including Julia Roberts and Kristen Stewart, have challenged by going barefoot or removing shoes.
- The festival now requires classic eveningwear between 7 p.m. And 10 p.m. For gala screenings, and staff will deny red carpet access to anyone violating the dress code to maintain decency and minimize disruptions.
- Emma Lightbrown, a stylist, says choosing red carpet outfits is complex, and the dress code change will challenge celebrity stylists who planned elaborate looks and brand partnerships for their clients.
- This shift aims to refocus attention on cinema and collective experiences rather than fashion displays, suggesting the festival wants the film industry to regain prominence amid challenges like industry strikes and streaming shifts.
