Halle Berry revealed during the Cannes jury’s press conference that she had to make a last -minute change of fashion due to the new rules that the festival published on its starred red carpets. Just before the start of the 2025 festival, Cannes’ organizers announced that the event would prohibit nudity and “excessively bulky” clothes. Dresses with long trains and other attributes that could obstruct the carpet are no longer allowed.
“I had an incredible gupta dress that I can’t wear tonight because it’s too big train,” said Berry about his look for the opening evening tonight. “I’m not going to break the rules. The part of nudity is also probably a good rule. ”

Cannes published a statement on Monday, May 12 in which he detailed his new red carpet rules. The festival said that red carpet changes were in accordance with the “institutional framework” of the Cannes Festival and French law.
“This year, the Cannes Film Festival has made certain rules that have been in force in its charter. The aim is not to regulate the holding in itself, but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in accordance with the institutional framework of the event and the French law,” said the new instructions of the festival.
Cannes added that he “reserves the right to refuse access to people whose holding could hinder the movement of other guests or complicate the seats in the projection rooms.”
Berry is part of this year’s competition jury alongside “succession” Emmy Winner, Jeremy Strong, “everything we imagine as a light director” Payal Kapadia, of the South Korean filmmaker Hong Sangsoo, of the Italian actor Alba Rohrwacher, of the French-Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani. Juliette Binoche supervises the jury as president.
