Women's outfits that would now be banned at the Cannes film festival
Actress's outfits at the Cannes Film Festival: a hot topic
The Cannes Film Festival in France attracts worldwide attention, but the glamorous fashion on the red carpet is also a hot topic. Starting in 2025, women's dresses that reveal too much have been banned at the festival. So, what kind of outfits are we talking about? Here are some examples.
What kind of designs are prohibited?
According to Vogue, "revealing clothing is prohibited", but also "voluminous costumes, especially those with large trains." What's wrong with the latter? Well, Cannes says, "they impede the movement of guests and interfere with seating in the theater."
Naomi Campbell (2024)
Naomi Campbell, a pioneer of black female models, attracted attention at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival when she wore a see-through black dress with stripes on the lower half. She may not be able to do that again.
Ngoc Trinh (2019)
Ngoc Trinh, a model and actress, rose to fame after winning Miss Vietnam International in the United States in 2011. In 2019, she appeared in a provocative outfit with only thin lace hanging down the front and back. Her overly revealing outfit drew criticism.
Paris Hilton (2014)
In 2014, Paris Hilton appeared on the red carpet in an eye-catching black and white swirl dress. It was an outfit that was enough to make you dizzy just by looking at it.
Aishwarya Rai (2023)
Aishwarya Rai, an Indian model and actress who was crowned Miss World in 1994, appeared wearing a huge silver hood over her long black dress.
Suzu Hirose (2025)
In 2025, Hirose Suzu, who starred in 'Distant Mountain Light,' was allowed to show off this long black dress with large, puffed yellow sleeves. We don't know what the person sitting next to her had to say about that.
