New Delhi: The 78th Cannes Film Festival has introduced a new rule this year to ban nudity and excessively oversized outfits on the red carpet. The decision has been taken by the authorities after the past controversies of a topless protester in 2022 and Bianca Censori’s revealing outfit at the Grammys earlier this year. The guidelines aim to maintain decorum and focus on the celebration of cinema.
Festival De Cannes kicks off on May 13, 2025 (today). The Cannes Film Festival, in terms of official standards and French law, stated an official statement saying, “This year, the Cannes Film Festival has clearly outlined certain longstanding rules in its official charter. The intention is not to regulate fashion choices, but to explicitly prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in alignment with the festival’s institutional standards and French law.”

The authorities also mentioned that the festival reserves the right to deny access to any individual they feel is obstructing the attire of other guests or making seating arrangements uncomfortable in the screening rooms.
Tote bags, backpacks, and other large bags are now officially “prohibited” during gala screenings at the Cannes Film Festival. The updated guidelines also target voluminous garments, specifically long, flowing dresses with dramatic trains, as part of the effort to streamline red carpet appearances.
