Irina Shayk Stuns at Cannes 2025 with Dress Code-Compliant Outfit
Irina Shayk awe-inspiring in Cannes with her fashion selections
Gone are the days of baring all on the red carpet - at least for the Cannes Film Festival. This year's event introduced a surprise new dress code, forcing stars to cover up or face being barred from the iconic event.
Model Irina Shayk, known for her risqué red carpet appearances in previous years, has proven that she can still steal the show while staying within the rules. The organizers of this year's festival made it clear that nudity was off the table, sending stylists into a frenzy just days before the opening.
But worry not, Shayk had a stylish solution up her sleeve. In 2024, she showed off plenty of skin on the red carpet, but this year, she's all about class and elegance. At the premiere of "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning," she donned a vintage Yves Saint Laurent gown from 1998, complete with a boat neckline and high-low silk optic skirt.
The following day at the Hotel Martinez, Shayk opted for a chic black and white polka-dot number from Armani's fall/winter 2019 couture collection, featuring a large skirt and XXL balloon sleeves. The revealing outfits of years past are a thing of the past as Shayk stays true to the festival's new dress code.
While the new rules have sparked outrage and criticism worldwide, Shayk is not alone in her adherence to the dress code. Other celebrities, such as Heidi Klum, have also embraced the change, either intentionally or accidentally. Klum made a splash in 2025 by ignoring the dress code at the premier of "Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation."
The Cannes Film Festival, a staple of the Hollywood scene, has made it clear that they value decency and respect over fashion statements. The organizers view the new dress code as a means to uphold the festival's standards and comply with French law. With the red carpet landscape set to change, we can expect to see more classy and subdued ensembles in the years to come.
