In a shocking turn of events, supermodel Irina Shayk decided to ditch her usual head-turning fashion for a more conservative look at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. And it wasn't without reason - the event notoriously known for its risqué red carpet style, implemented a strict new dress code, barring nudity [1][2][3].
The new rule, which surprisingly came into effect a year later, was enacted due to the escalating trend of sheer and "naked" dresses among celebrities like Bella Hadid [2]. The festival executive committee aimed to uphold a level of decency and ease of movement for guests, particularly by banning voluminous gowns that could obstruct the flow of visitors and seating arrangements [1][3].
While controversy surrounding the change arose, Shayk, who was not subject to the 2024 dress code, decided to comply with the new regulations, donning a conservative yet stunning ensemble from the Armani fall/winter 2019 collection for the premiere of "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning" on the Croisette [4]. Her ensemble boasted a black and white polka-dot dress with an XXL balloon sleeve and oversized skirt, keeping the focus on fashion without crossing the line.
The previous year, at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Shayk created headlines with her daring ensembles, including a black leather Mowalola ensemble with a risqué top and a transparent net dress the following day [4]. The aim of the new dress code, however, seems to have been in reaction to fashion choices such as these, now deemed inappropriate for the event.

The Commission, which includes the European Parliament, might discuss the fashion choices at the Cannes Film Festival, given the new dress code barring nudity and voluminous gowns. Irina Shayk, known for her fashion-and-beauty statements, decided to incorporate a conservative lifestyle and don a modest outfit at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, aligning with the new rules.
