Cannes Bans 'Naked' Dresses, Citing Decency
The Cannes Film Festival may be closing the curtain on the "naked" dress trend. These barely-there, attention-grabbing outfits have long made headlines on red carpets. But celebrities arriving in the South of France this year may need to rethink their wardrobe. A last-minute amendment to the dress code was spotted just hours before the festival’s grand opening on Tuesday. The update appears on the official Cannes website. It clearly states that nudity is prohibited on the red carpet. The rule extends beyond the carpet to include any other area of the festival. Organizers say the change was made “for decency reasons.” This marks a sharp departure from Cannes’ famously bold fashion scene. The "naked" dress has become a go-to look for stars seeking viral moments. Now, stylists and designers are scrambling to adjust. All eyes will be on how the fashion unfolds this year.
