The 2025 Cannes Film Festival is underway, with the Croisette transformed into a hub of glamour as celebrities arrive in extravagant couture. The 78th edition of the French festival runs from May 13 to May 24, featuring stars such as Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Heidi Klum.
While film screenings remain the focus, the red carpet fashion often steals the spotlight. This year, organisers have implemented a strict dress code for the first time in Cannes history, prohibiting any form of nudity. The mandate states: “For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival.”
Additionally, voluminous outfits, particularly those with large trains that hinder traffic or complicate seating, are not permitted. The vague guidelines have left room for interpretation, leading to a wide array of styles from understated to grandiose as A-listers test the boundaries.
Among the attendees, Halle Berry, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert De Niro are expected to walk the red carpet. The festival continues until May 24, with best and worst dressed lists already circulating.
