Cannes: No nudity on the red carpet

The Cannes Film Festival red carpet is perhaps the most rigidly controlled red carpet in the world. Now, the festival has added a new stipulation: no nudity.

While nudity was never previously endorsed at the festival, Cannes updated its dress policy on the eve of its 78th edition to read that “nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.”

The policy tweak sparked widespread attention Monday because of the recent trend of sheer and “nude dresses,” such as Bianca Censori’s Grammys appearance.
