Although the festival never openly encouraged such attire in the past, this year, just ahead of its 78th edition, organisers have taken a firmer stance by updating the dress code policy, which says, “nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.”
Cannes also noted that “voluminous outfits, especially those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted.”
