Cannes Dress Code Controversy: Hadid and Klum Defy New Rules

Cannes Film Festival sparks controversy with new dress code. The Cannes Film Festival's decision to ban nudity and voluminous outfits from the red carpet just 24 hours before the event has ignited a firestorm of debate. The rule, justified by organizers as a measure to ensure 'decency', has been met with criticism, particularly for its perceived targeting of women's bodies. High-profile models Bella Hadid and Heidi Klum defied the rule, with Hadid appearing in a daring, high-slit gown and Klum in a voluminous pink floral gown. 'It's another example of how women's bodies are constantly policed,' commented one critic. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between fashion, freedom of expression, and societal expectations.
