Overview
- The festival is enforcing a charter that bans nudity on the red carpet for decency reasons.
- The same policy bars voluminous gowns with long trains because they slow crowd flow and complicate seating.
- At Grand Théâtre Lumière galas, black-tie dress is required and sneakers or oversized bags are not allowed.
- Festival welcoming teams have orders to deny red-carpet access to guests who break the rules.
- The guidelines now permit elegant flats or sandals without a heel, even as some stars test limits such as Alexander Skarsgård’s thigh-high boots.
