The 78th Cannes Film Festival officially begins today, launching a celebration of cinema, glamour, and unforgettable fashion. As the red carpet rolls out, all eyes are on the stars — but this year, the style stakes are shifting.
In a bold move, festival organizers have implemented a new dress code that bans overly revealing attire, including sheer fabrics and the now-ubiquitous “naked” dresses.
“In the interest of decency, nudity is strictly forbidden on the red carpet and in all festival zones,” the official guideline states. Entry will be denied to those who don’t comply.
This change signals a return to classic elegance, with guests expected to wear refined eveningwear — from floor-length gowns and tuxedos to little black dresses, chic cocktail ensembles, tailored pantsuits, and sophisticated footwear.
As Cannes embraces a more polished aesthetic, we can look forward to a red carpet filled with timeless glamour and fashion that captures the magic of cinema. From vintage-inspired silhouettes to modern elegance, this year’s looks promise to be some of the most memorable yet — and we’re just getting started.
