The Cannes Film Festival begins today. Post-pandemic and post-MeToo, Cannes has declined in relevancy, but it?s still an important stop for a lot of would-be awards contenders and stars. Cannes might even be ?too big to fail? at this point, there?s just so much money involved, so many major sponsors who have invested so much in the festival. The one consistent thing about Cannes is that women still come out wearing absurd gowns and skimpy, tacky, body-baring looks. Well, no more? On the eve of the festival?s opening, the festivals organizers told media outlets that a stricter dress code will be enforced. That dress code? No breast-baring and no giant gowns. What are we doing here??
Ahead of the start of the 2025 edition, the Cannes Film Festival has issued an updated red carpet dress code that effectively bans full nudity and ?voluminous? ensembles. ?For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival. Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted,? per the festival on its official charter. ?The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.?
The Hollywood Reporter reached out to the Cannes press office for additional comment and a festival rep confirms that the charter was just updated to reflect ?certain rules that have long been in effect.? The goal of the update is ?not to regulate attire per se but to prohibit full nudity on the carpet? in accordance with the institutional framework of the festival as well as French law, per the Cannes rep.
Cannes security officials have notoriously been strict when it comes to dress codes at the Palais, specifically for screenings at the glamorous Grand Thtre Lumire, which routinely hosts the auteur and A-list-packed world premieres. Black tie and evening wear is required for those screenings ? held in the nighttime from 7-10 p.m. ? and guidance suggests options like tuxedos and long dresses or ?little black dress, cocktail dress, dark-colored pantsuit, a dressy top with black pants; elegant shoes and sandals with or without a heel; a black or navy-blue suit with bow-tie or dark-colored tie. Tote-bags, backpacks or large bags are prohibited.?
The new ban on nudity and voluminous outfits aligns with such codes, but it begs two questions: How strictly will the dress code be enforced, and will A-list stars and/or models be booted for flouting the rules? While ?elegant shoes? are required, megastars Julia Roberts and Kristen Stewart have both removed their heels to glide up the Palais steps barefoot.

What bugs me is that this is that the dress-code update/enforcement was announced on the eve of the festival? when most women probably already organized their looks for the Palais, and many designers had already customized dozens of gowns with long, fussy trains and sheerness. Like, give women some notice so that they can make adjustments ahead of time. Anyway, I think we?ll probably hear of some women being turned away for various sheer looks, but I can?t see them turning away women for wearing big, dumb dresses. It will be interesting to see how these rules are enforced.

The Beckham family stuff has gotten really crazy this year. We?re used to Victoria and David Beckham being in the gossip news, and god knows, they?ve weathered decades of divorce rumors. But there?s been a shift in recent years to focus on David and Victoria?s relationships with their children. Specifically, their eldest son Brooklyn, who married Nicola Peltz in 2022. According to the British media, Nicola is the Meghan Markle of the Beckham clan. Victoria and David are incandescent with rage that Brooklyn married an American heiress with her own career and her own publicist! Why didn?t Brooklyn marry an English rose with no power, money or voice? Sound familiar? They?ve used the Sussex story as a soap opera template and they?re just running the exact same play with the Beckhams. Some especially crazy highlights from the Daily Mail?s big exclusive:
In 2022, Brooklyn joined Nicola at a Wendy?s promo: It was just a few months after their 3million wedding that Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz attended a launch event staged by American fast food giant Wendy?s for a new summer dessert. In keeping with the colour scheme of the pudding ? a confection called Strawberry Frosty ? they dressed in Pink for their trip to Hollywood?s Sunset Boulevard. There, Brooklyn posed in an ice cream van emblazoned with the Wendy?s logo while the couple kissed for the cameras. The event got column inches across the world much, I?m sure, to the delight of the chain?s owner, Nelson Peltz ? Nicola?s billionaire father ? and her older brother Matthew, who runs the firm. They were joined by Nicola?s other siblings, though it is undeniable that it was Brooklyn?s attendance that gave the event the stardust it needed. It was one of the very first Beckham-Peltz joint endorsements ? and it?s likely there will be many more to come.
Heiress Nicola loves the Beckham name: ?Nicola is very much making the most of the Beckham name,? said a source close to the family. ?She might hate David and Victoria, but she doesn?t half like their surname.?
Nicola is making deals: Nicola?s commercial ventures have certainly gone well since she married Brooklyn at the Peltz?s 76 million mansion in Florida. There?s been a lucrative deal with Pepe Jeans, appearances in Vogue magazine and her movie, Lola, got far more attention than it would have done had Brooklyn and his parents not been there. ?They are always together ? you can?t help but think it?s Nicola who is making sure this happens,? said the source. ?She might be very rich, but she wouldn?t be getting any of the attention if it wasn?t for her husband and his family.?
The Beckhams think Nicola is controlling: ?They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn?t going anywhere anytime soon,? one said. ?Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn?s friends ? many of whom he no longer sees ? take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams? point of view, it?s not nice to watch.?
The Beckham rift will not be healed as long as Brooklyn stays married: That why their friends fear the rift between the Beckhams and Brooklyn will not be healed while the young couple are together. ?She won?t change and Brooklyn?s parents are absolutely furious. They are done with her. Nicola seems to be well and truly done with them too so it?s a case of long-term estrangement,? said the source. ?The Beckhams feel that this has been going on since Nicola and Brooklyn married.?
Victoria & David are perfect parents: ?David and Victoria have done a great job of bringing their children up to be kind, have manners and also understand that they have to work for a living,? said a friend. ?Brooklyn is a nice young man. But his parents think Nicola is a bratty heiress and fear she wants to hang on to his coat tails.?
Brooklyn?s hot sauce career: ?There doesn?t seem much of a desire to get a proper career,? said one source. ?The Beckhams hate the whole ?nepo? label this recent stuff is a bit embarrassing.?
Hopes that Brooklyn will come crawling back, broke and divorced: I?m assured by sources close to the family that they are bearing up ? reminding themselves how lucky they have been in life. ?It is all very difficult but they realise they are like any other family,? said one friend. ?There will always be one who loses their way. They just hope he finds his way back.?
[From The Daily Mail]
The Sussex/royal flavor of this is insane to witness. And all this does is make me want to defend Brooklyn and Nicola, honestly. I don?t think they?re perfect and sure, Nicola seems a bit bratty, but from what I can tell, they really love each other and she encourages Brooklyn to find his passions, which is why he?s been doing so much with food. Brooklyn?s weird nepo-baby careers were already stalling out long before he even met Nicola. And while Nicola definitely enjoys the Beckham name, it?s absurd to say that the daughter of a billionaire is clout-chasing Brooklyn Beckham. Americans barely know who he is! Anyway, I?m glad that Brooklyn married an American woman and got away from his toxic, controlling family, just like Prince Harry.

Just a few weeks ago, the Duchess of Sussex turned up at the Time100 Summit as one of their keynote speakers. Meghan?s appearance in NYC for the summit got so much attention, as did her Ralph Lauren suit a wide-legged, flared trouser and beautifully cut jacket, paired with a lovely white blouse. Did Meghan reinvent the wheel with her ensemble? Of course not, but it was much-discussed and it got tons of play on fashion blogs, social media and in the gossip media. Well, the Princess of Wales is never beating the ?maintains and updates her Meghan mood-board? allegations. Kate stepped out today to present a special award to Victoria Beckham. Kate wore a pantsuit designer by Beckham, in what looks like the Temu version of those Meghan-in-NYC photos.
Shes already considered a style icon in her own right. And today the Princess of Wales delighted fashionistas as she presented The Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design and showed solidarity with another sartorial legend Victoria Beckham amid her alleged feud with eldest son Brooklyn.
Catherine, 43, attended an event held by the British Fashion Council at Londons 180 Studios to celebrate the impact of young British creatives and the UKs thriving fashion industry, as well as recognise designers who are leading the way in sustainable practices and making a positive impact on the environment.
Sources told Mail Online that the royal, who also presented the award in 2022, was keen to pay tribute to the late Queens legacy. They pointed out that she has long championed British fashion and designers and looks forward to continuing to do so in the years ahead.
Paying homage to yet another fashionista, Kate was typically sophisticated in a stunningly tailored khaki power suit from Victoria Beckham, which perfectly accentuated her silhouette. She sported the patch pocket jacket, retailing for 850, and matching 490 Alina trousers, both in the colour willow. The royal teamed the earthy look with a white ruffled blouse, with a buttoned-up collar, and brown leather heels. Wearing her chocolate tresses down in loose waves, Kate also opted for a glamorous make-up look with smokey eyes and a dusky Pink lip.

The suit itself is fine-ish the color doesn?t work on Kate, but I think that color would be difficult on most people. But the cut is good. Kate ruins it with the ruffled blouse, and Kate?s makeup is especially atrocious today. She looks like she applied her blush with a shovel. Anyway, another successful copykeening adventure. Meghan has been doing so much this year that?s probably why Kate has taken so much time off, to maintain her Meghan mood-board.
