New Dress Code Drama at Cannes

Cannes Film Festival is shaking things up with new rules for the red carpet. This year, the organizers have decided to ban nudity and oversized outfits. The goal is to keep things moving smoothly and avoid any wardrobe malfunctions that could cause delays or disruptions. This means no more dresses with long trains or excessive volume that could clog up the carpet or make it hard for people to move around. The festival wants to make sure everyone can enjoy the event without any hassles. Halle Berry, who is part of this year's jury, had to change her plans because of these new rules. She had picked out a stunning dress by Gupta, but it had a long train that wouldn't be allowed on the red carpet. Instead of breaking the rules, she decided to go with a different outfit. She even commented that the ban on nudity might be a good idea. It shows that even big stars have to follow the rules sometimes. The festival released a statement explaining the changes. They said the new rules are in line with the festival's guidelines and French law. The idea is not to control what people wear, but to make sure the red carpet stays safe and accessible for everyone. The festival also said they might stop people from entering if their outfits could cause problems or make it hard for others to get around. The jury for this year's competition is a mix of talented people from different parts of the world. Alongside Berry, there are directors, actors, and writers from places like South Korea, Italy, Morocco, Congo, and Mexico. Juliette Binoche is leading the jury as president. It's a diverse group that brings different perspectives to the table. The new rules might seem strict, but they could help make the red carpet experience better for everyone. It's important to think about how our choices affect others, especially in a big event like Cannes. Maybe this will inspire other events to think about how they can make their red carpets more accessible and enjoyable for all guests.
