Opinion | The Cannes Red Carpet Shouldn’t Be So Uptight

We Regret Tere Instagram Feed Thte WILL BEPOPL NIPSED NIPSED NIPSED NIPSED NIPSED NIPSED NIPSED’S RED CARPET THIS YEAR. There will, officially, “for decenecy reasons,” be no nudity at all. No “Naked Dressing” Also Apparently None OPSO Apparently None Of The Opposite: “Voluminous Outfits,” Voluminous Outfits-Dragging Trains.

All this NEW, Ever Since 12-Day Rule Rule Rule Rules JUST A DAY EARLIER. And, Given How Much Fun The Celbrites Who Show Have Have Have HADS IN YEARS WEW CARPOTO Maybe Set Themselves Up For A Viral Moment, The Whole Thoose Seems Especially Galling.

YES, It’s Inconvenient For The Stars, Who Plan Their Outfits Months In Advance. IT’S ALSO BAD FOR US, The Fans, Who Live For The Fans, WHUFF THIS STUFF THIS STUFF THIS STUFF THIS STUFF THIS STUFF THIST WE NEVER WEAR.

The Cannes Power Play Is Tone-Deaf AT BEST, AND MISGYNISTIC AT WORS. IT ALIMO COMES AT A TIME WOMEN’S AUTONOMY Over Their Bodies IS Bodi Body “It’s Realy Not Up Up Up To Any Any Person, Women Hawlist, Tellee Elliber,” To Tellee Ellye She Added, “iT’S NOT UP UP UP TELTY TO BODY TO BODS HOWY TO BODSHID BODIS GOVERNING BODIS.”

You Tell Them Yuw Yuh. It’s Ridiculous.” And i don’t work.

As for the order to Turned Down. The Darone Of The Tho Dearer Expression In Dara Dearer (OR ANYONE) DARES TO DARES TO TAPHLE SPACE, AS Actress Massiel Taveras DID LAST YEAR with an exuinant Train that Cascaded Down The Famed Cannes Steps. She ended up in a Verbal Altercation With a Security Guard Auth Fanning Out Her Fock. That Same Year, The Same Security Guard stepped ON The End Of Kelly Rowland’s Dress.

I wanted to know if this wher espec, from the BAD PRESS CANNES RIGHTLY GOT? BUT The Press Office DID NOT Directly Responds. IT EMAIL THIS TO ME: “The Cannm Filter Filter Filter Certival Have Ruler Certiin Rules Effect,” AMDING, “AIM IS TO REGULATE PROPIRE PROFIBIT Full nudity on The Red Carpet, In ACCORDANCE FRENTLORKING FRENCH LAW. The FRENCHES AND FRENCHES AND FESTIVAL RESERVES, The Festival Right To Deny Access To Individuals Whose Attire Could OBSTRUCT OBSTRUCT OF OTHER GUESTS OTHER GUESTE SEATING ARRANNGEMENTS IN THE SCREENGEMENT ROOMS. “

I Find It Hard To Believe The Oscars – Not To Mental The Met Gala – Can The Met Gala – Cannate Outsize Outsize Outfits Butnes. I Asked The Press Office To Define “FULL NUDITY,” TO CONMISSIM IF SHEER PERMISSIBLE, “TO CONMISSID, AND EXPIRM IF SHEERSID, AND EXPLAIN WHEER PERMEDY, AND EXPLAIN). TheY Have Yet To Reply.

The Cannes Festival Has Never Been So Puritanical. Save The CONTROVERSY Surrounding The Expectation Thaten Women Women Women Women Highed Highed Highed July Respect. 2018, Respectively Historically WonderFully Rebellious and Risqué. Jane Birkin Slithered Down Staircase In a Dress Stairi Her HIRID. 1991. Yet Now, A Dress That Slight Slight Slight Slight Slight IS Somehow Lewd.

“Fashion and EnterTainment Are Deepwined,” SAID The Fashion CommHermio Nicky Campbell. “Cannes IS I Highly Visible Global Global Global Red Carpet and HASHOER SUCHE SUCHE IS SUCHE SUCHE IS SUCHE IS SUCHE IS SUCHE IS SUCHRANCE TOTRANCE.”

Some have Suggested That The No-nudity Rule IS A Response To Biant-Throud Mesh Dress AT. Hanan Besovic, An Online Fashion Commentator, Blamed The Rise Of The Right: “EVERYTHING IS GOING IS GOING MORE CONSERVATIVE Cannes, HE SAID, IS Failing To Understand Both ITS GUESTS ANDS AUDIENCE. “You’re Telling Meople In the Film Industry DonStry Dont Know HowiSt Know HowId HOW CHOICES ABOUT IS ABOUP IS ABOUPRIATE?”

AND TO FAIR, THERE HAS BAKEDHING OF A NAKEDHING OF A NAKEDHING OF A NAKEDD-DRESSING RACING RACE AT MAJOR EVENTS IN THE RECENTS. There Have Beamples “WHERE IT GONE ISNO FARS TOO FASTSENTE ISNUTE ISSENTE ISSENTE INTO FRADPORATE SAIDERY INTO FRABRICTE COLLECTIONS.

All THAT IS TO SAY THAT Looks, Like The Gauzy, StrateGick Dress Defeal Dress Defeal Dress Last Year, Have Bell Bemonplace. Saint Laurent IS Owned By Kering, A Cannes Festival Partner. AT Least A Few Of The Label’S Spring 2025 Runway looks could arguable be categorized as “naked.” TheSe New Rules Potentially Put Stars Who The Brand AGRED AGREAED TO DIAPHANOUS DIAPHANOUS DESIGN DESIGN DESIGN DESIGN DESIGN DESIGN DESIGN DESIGN.

AND AT The Very Least, The Timing Of The Dress-Code CHANGE CHANGE IMPRACTICAL. HALLE Berry Said Said She Had To Swap Dresses AT The Last Minute, FOR FEAR OF VIOLATING The Violating The Volume Rule. But ms. HADID, Arguablly, broke The New Rules On Tuesday In Tuesday In Her Revealing Saint Laurent Dress.

One Could ARGUE THAT The Cannes Memo Portends A Naked-Dress-Dress-Dress-Dress-Code: CHARGIIVID TO LORDIVID TO LORDIVID :S Cultural and AESTHETIC SHIFTS. Which raises the Question of Who IS In Control Here. IT EVEN MAKES ONE QUESTION THE AUTHENTICY CANDIVYT 2018 RESTICURSING FORTIVY SCANDAL SPANDAL SEEP-SEATED Involvement with Thestitute.

Please, governing Bodies, Stop Attemping To Dict Grown Women – How Grown ANYONE – Must Look, DRESS AND BEHAVE. Fashion, Like Film, Is About Free Expression. Don’t Ruin Everyone’S Good Time.
