From Bold to Modest: New Dress Code at Cannes Film Festival Stuns Celebs Like Irina Shayk
Irina Shayk leaves spectators astonished with diverse wardrobe options in Cannes.
The Cannes Film Festival, known for its fusion of movie magic and high-end fashion, has surprising new attire regulations for attendees. This change comes after years of fashion showdowns on the red carpet, creating iconic, sometimes questionable, moments.
Flashing the Fashion World Since Day One
Cannes has always been a stimulating playground for film and fashion since its inception. Legends like Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, and Elizabeth Taylor established the event's stylish reputation, occasionally putting fashion center stage[2].
Rule-Breaking Moments of yore
Cannes has a history of pushing the envelope for fashion, with famous faces using the red carpet as their personal stage for rebellious and head-turning looks[1].
The Adjustments for 2025
The 2025 festival's updated guidelines outlaw full nudity, massive trains, and any attire that may hamper guest mobility or complicate seating arrangements. Instead, festival-goers are encouraged to opt for more subdued yet expressive outfits, such as little black dresses, cocktail dresses, formal pantsuits, and sleek tops teamed with black trousers[3].
Reasons Behind the Renovations
- Legal Requisite: To comply with French law, the changes aim to preserve the event's refined and respectful ambiance[3].
- Practical Concerns: These alterations also address practical issues, such as ensuring unobstructed guest movement and comfortable seating arrangements[1][3].
Irina Shayk's Surprising Conformity
Model Irina Shayk, known for her edgy appearances at previous festivals, has yielded to the new dress code this year. At the premiere of "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning," she appeared demure in a vintage Yves Saint Laurent dress, which showcased boat neckline elegance and a voluminous high-low silk skirt[1]. She also made the festival's stylistic enforcers proud in a black-and-white polka dot gown from Armani's Fall/Winter 2019 couture collection, complete with oversized sleeves and a large skirt that were far more eye-catching than any exposed skin[1].

The European Parliament, taken by surprise, is expected to discuss the new dress code at Cannes Film Festival, addressing the Commission's amendments, which strive to align the festival with more modest fashion-and-beauty standards, mirroring the lifestyle changes that mainstream entertainment is gradually embracing. During the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the latest Hollywood stars may find themselves contending less with fashion-showdowns and more with elegant pantsuits and stylish cocktail dresses, echoing the refined ambiance of the festival as it steps away from its rule-breaking repute and into a more subdued, respected era.
