Cannes bans nudity on Red Carpet.

Good - now also ban any celebrity that isn't in one of the films being screened.

Why are models and people trying to push their acting careers highlighted at this event anyway? Everyone knows it's only for self-promotion - they don't give a fuck about the film festival.

Good! I'm no prude, but those dresses were vulgar. And it was never the big stars who wore them either, always some influencer skank thirsty for headlines. Can't fault Cannes for wanting to classy up their joint a bit.

It’s kind of crazy to think about how many women this will effect.

r1 I remember reading somewhere that Cannes film festival is one of the busiest events for prostitutes and escorts or something to that effect. Yacht parties and drugs with rich and famous people.

Does this mean men will have to stop wearing see-through shirts as well. Or is the rentboy look as popularised by Chalamet still OK?

Halle Berry must be livid.

Women don’t know how to dress. They all want to dress like hookers and be taken seriously.

r1 People forget the business side of Cannes, with an actual film market going on during the festival. So they let the models show up to get the rich old men to show up and hope some of them agree to buy a film to impress said models.

Voluminous banned, too?

They waited until the day before to announce this?

What a bummer!

Cannes is a hell of a lot of fun that time of year.

Good. They'll look slightly less like whores, and maybe better design will be the thing people talk about instead of nipples, pubes and ass cracks.

The new dress code also bans political statements or protests on the red carpet. Guess Cate Blanchett's Palestine dress last year really pissed them off. Her new movie with Jim Jarmusch (and Adam Driver) was excluded from competition and completely shut out at the festival.

How are they defining nudity? A dress that makes you LOOK nude is still a dress.

If I were an unknown starlet I’d hire security guards to drag me and my naked dress kicking and screaming from the red carpet. Then I’d give interviews sobbing, holding the shreds of my rhinestones about me.

They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

They also asked to waive "voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests". (Probably because of the jesus chick from last year and the disrespecting of Kelly Rowland). Too bad- i hoped for the butch blonde security blockwart from last year to make a comeback.

Any way here are the frocks.
