CAnnes 2025 is preparing for a film festival without scandals on the red carpet. It ends from this edition the era of the nude look, of the bold transparencies and “see-non-tric” silhouettes, the more I see, is about to know a sharp braking. The management issued an update of its clothing code for the red carpet, putting black on white A categorical ban on full nudity and excessively voluminous clothes.
Cannes 2025 festival: the naked look on the red carpet is prohibited, it is enough for scandals
Goodbyeso, to the nipples in freedom and the aftermath “cloud effect” who animated, and sometimes obstructed, the previous editions. And, if in the past years we have witnessed a real parade of stylistic audacity, with stars of the caliber of Bella Hadid Which, in 2021, chose a Schiaparelli dress with a gilded lung-shaped trompe-la trompe, leaving very little to the imagination.
OR Kendall Jenner Which, in 2018, opted for an Alexandre Vauthier that more than a dress was an illusion of fabric. Or, again, Julia Fox who made nakedness an aesthetic figure, transforming it into an element of provocation, It seems that this year the password is “more decency”.
Very severe code, the red carpet leaves the audacity
2025 therefore marks a turning point as follows: Stop the exposed skin, stop to excessive clothes. Cannes rewrites the rules of style. The official code of the Festival leaves no room for interpretations: “For reasons of decency, nudity is prohibited on the red carpetas well as in any other area of the Festival.
Voluminous clothesin particular those with a long train, which hinder the correct flow of guests and complicate the arrangement of the seats in the room are not allowed ». A warning that sounds like a clear reference to a more traditional and controlled elegance.

Behind the scenes of the ban
But what pushed the organizers to this sudden stylistic steering? Although the Festival’s press office, he confirmed a The Hollywood Reporter that it is an update to reflect “some rules in force for some time”, The emphasis on “full nudity” brings some questions arise.
While, in fact, not being clear if there has been a specific episode to trigger this rigidity, it is impossible for the experts of the festival, not to think that, The recent clamor aroused by the apparitions of Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censoriwith miserable to the limit of nudity, did not have some influence. Of course, the Cannes Red Carpet is a stage different from Grammy, but the echo of certain “exits” will not have escaped the organizers’ vigilant eyes.
Question of flow and “etiquette”
In addition to the ban on nudity, The new very severe code points the finger also against “voluminous” clothesin particular those with excessively long aftermath. Here, The reference seems more practical than puritan: The goal is to guarantee an easy flow of guests on the red carpet and simplify the arduous logistics of the seats in the room.
Also in this case, Difficult not to rethink the iconic “cloud” dress of temple at the Oscar 2023which, however scenographic, had undoubtedly created some discomfort to the spectators behind him. Therefore, Cannes, this year, does not seem willing to tolerate similar “dimensions” however glamorous.
Severe and previous “barefoot” safety
It must be said, then, that the severity of Cannes security officers in terms of dress code is legendary, especially for the prestigious evening projections at the Grand Théâtre Lumière, where smoking and long dress are a categorical imperative. Ten years ago, A real “heel crisis”, he burst out when some invited were rejected for non -compliant footwear.
Although that unwritten rule was then loosened, the new ban on nudity and bulky clothes seems to want to restore a certain rigor. It remains to be seen how rigidly this code will also be applied to stars of the highest size.
“Glamor” derogations in sight?
As always, in fact, one wonders if, an eye, will be reserved for the testimonials of the most prestigious partners of the Festival. It would not be surprising to witness some stylistic “poetic license” by well -known faces which represent these brands, perhaps with some “strategic” transparency or a volume studied artfully. In short, the Cannes 2025 festival promises to be an edition, in which the glamor will have to deal with a severe and much more restrictive clothing code.
Starting today, the eyes will be focused on the red carpet, curious to find out how stars will interpret these new rules and if The so -called “decency” will be able to tame the bold spirit that has always animated the Croisette. One thing is certain: the battle with style, albeit with some more constraints, has just begun.
