the festival has issued about its starry red carpets. Just ahead of the 2025 festival getting underway, Cannes organizers announced the event would be banning nudity and  “excessively voluminous” clothing. Dresses with long trains and other attributes that could clog up the carpet are also no longer allowed.

“I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it’s too big of a train,” Berry said regarding her look for tonight’s opening night gala. “I’m not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule.”

on Monday, May 12 in which it detailed its new red carpet rules. The festival said the red carpet changes were in accordance with “the institutional framework” of the Cannes Film Festival and French law.

“This year, the Cannes Film Festival has made explicit in its charter certain rules that have long been in effect. The aim is not to regulate attire per se, but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in accordance with the institutional framework of the event and French law,” said the new instructions from the festival.

Cannes added that it “reserves the right to deny access to individuals whose attire could obstruct the movement of other guests or complicate seating arrangements in the screening rooms.”

Berry is serving on this year’s competition jury alongside “Succession” Emmy winner Jeremy Strong, “All We Imagine as Light” director Payal Kapadia, South Korean filmmaker Hong Sangsoo, Italian actor Alba Rohrwacher, French-Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani, Congolese documentarist Dieudo Hamadi and ******** filmmaker Carlos Reygadas. Juliette Binoche is overseeing the jury as president.
