The 78th Cannes Film Festival lifted its curtains on May 13, 2025, and the length and breadth of the entertainment industry is excited to be a part of the prestigious event. The governing body, however, issued its official charter a day before, listing a new set of updated dress code regulations and diabetes-friendly dietary rules to follow on the carpet and beyond.
On the fashion front, the axe fell on voluptuous gowns with long trains and skin-show. “For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the Red Carpet, as well as in any other area of the Festival. Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted,” read the document.
On the diet end, eating in screening rooms was prohibited, with a notable exception. “As a courtesy to other viewers, it is prohibited to eat in the Festival’s screening rooms. An exception is made for people with diabetes,” says the Festival’s guideline.
