Cannes Film Festival warns of 'nudity' on the Red Carpet

The 78th Cannes Film FestivalCannes Film FestivalCannes Film Festival, which kicks off from today (May 13), has officially banned nudity and "excessively voluminous" clothing on the red carpet.

The decision comes after a demonstrator appeared topless on the Cannes red carpet in 2022. Meanwhile, Bianca Censori's transparent dress, which caused an uproar at the Grammys earlier this year, also worked as an instrumental to put this decision into effect.

In keeping with "the institutional framework" of the festival and French law, the festival issued an official statement. It read, "This year, the Cannes Film Festival has made explicit in its charter certain rules that have long been in effect. The aim is not to regulate attire per se, but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in accordance with the institutional framework of the event and French law."
