The 2025 Cannes Film Festival introduced a new dress code, banning nudity and voluminous outfits on the red carpet. However, several celebrities, including Heidi Klum and Wan QianHui, ignored the rule, making bold fashion statements.
Heidi Klum & Wan QianHui Flout the Rules
Despite the ban on large trains and extravagant dresses, model Heidi Klum arrived in a pink-and-white gown with a massive train. Meanwhile, Chinese actor Wan QianHui stunned in a cloud-like white dress, resembling giant cotton balls.
Other stars who defied the rule include:
- Aliia Roza, who wore a painted hoop skirt symbolizing peace.
- Alessandra Ambrosio, whose dress featured dramatic sleeves and a shorter train.
Halle Berry Adjusts Her Outfit
Unlike others, Halle Berry, a Cannes jury member, changed her outfit to comply with the new policy. She had originally planned to wear a long-train gown but opted for a different look.
Berry commented: > “I had to make a pivot. But the nudity part, I do think is probably also a good rule.”
Will Cannes Enforce the Dress Code?
While the new rules were announced, enforcement remains unclear. Celebrities who ignored the policy were still allowed on the red carpet, raising questions about how strictly Cannes will regulate attire.
Conclusion
Despite Cannes’ new dress code, stars like Heidi Klum and Wan QianHui made bold fashion choices, proving that style often trumps rules. As the festival continues, it remains to be seen whether Cannes will tighten enforcement or allow more rule-breaking fashion moments.
