This year, 'daring exposure' dresses are completely banned on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.
On the 12th (local time), the 78th Cannes Film Festival announced a revised dress code prohibiting highly revealing outfits on the red carpet through its official website one day before the opening.
The Cannes Film Festival organizers noted, 'To maintain dignity, exposed bodies (nudity) are prohibited not only on the red carpet but in all areas of the festival.'
In addition, voluminous outfits that obstruct the smooth flow of the audience and long dresses that complicate seat arrangements inside the theater are not allowed. Failure to comply will result in prohibition from entering the red carpet.
In this context, the organizers added, 'This decision is a measure to maintain dignity.'
This action seems to be influenced by the recent 'exposure competition' that has continued on the Cannes red carpet. Recently, celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner made headlines and sparked controversy by wearing sheer dresses that almost exposed their upper bodies.
Meanwhile, this year's Cannes Film Festival will commence on the 13th at 7:15 p.m. (2:15 a.m. on the 14th in South Korea) with the opening ceremony at the Palais des Festivals in the southern French resort city of Cannes and will run until the 24th.
Although South Korea has not produced any entries in the competitive institutional sector for the third consecutive year, Director Hong Sang-soo has been selected as a judge for the Cannes Film Festival, making him the sixth from South Korea, following Directors Shin Sang-ok, Lee Chang-dong, and Actors Jeon Do-yeon, Park Chan-wook, and Song Kang-ho.
