The
organisers
of
the
78th
Cannes
Film
Festival
have
announced
the
dress
code
for
guests
attending
the
gala
screenings
at
the
Grand
Theatre
Lumière,
set
to
take
place
from
May
13
to
May
24.
For
the
red
carpet
look,
the
organisers
have
prohibited
the
outfits
which
promote
‘nudity’
for
‘decency’
reasons.
As
per
the
official
document
of
the
Cannes
Film
Festival
2025,
artists
attending
the
gala
screenings
will
be
required
to
be
dressed
in
evening
wear,
which
includes
a
long
dress
and
a
tuxedo
for
men.
‘For
the
Grand
Theatre
Lumière
gala
screenings
taking
place
around
7
and
10
pm,
which
are
attended
by
the
artistic
teams,
evening
wear
(long
dress,
tuxedo)
is
required.
Alternatively,
you
may
also
wear
‘a
little
black
dress’,
a
cocktail
dress,
a
dark-coloured
pantsuit,
a
dressy
top
with
black
pants;
elegant
shoes
and
sandals
with
or
without
a
heel
(no
sneakers);
a
black
or
navy-blue
suit
with
bow-tie
or
dark-colored
tie,’
as
stated
in
the
official
document
of
Cannes
Film
Festival
on
its
website.
Tote
bags,
backpacks,
and
large
bags
are
‘prohibited’
during
the
gala
screenings.
Voluminous
dresses,
particularly
long
trains,
are
among
the
garments
affected
by
the
new
rules.
According
to
the
charter,
these
long
and
overly
capacious
dresses
‘hinder
the
proper
flow
of
traffic
of
guests
and
complicate
seating
in
the
theatre.’
‘Tote-bags,
backpacks
or
large
bags
are
prohibited
during
gala
screenings.
Lockers,
open
until
12:30
am
are
available
near
the
Gare
Maritime.
‘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
theatre,
are
not
permitted.’
Cannes
will
see
quite
a
bit
of
India
this
year
as
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
Alia
Bhatt,
Payal
Kapadia,
Sharmila
Tagore,
Janhvi
Kapoor,
Ishaan
Khatter,
Karan
Johar,
Neeraj
Ghaywan
and
Urvashi
Rautela
are
expected
to
walk
the
red
carpet.
Films
like
Homebound,
Aranyer
Din
Ratri
and
Tanvi
The
Great
are
expected
to
be
showcased
at
the
festival.
