Cannes 2025: Stars shine on the red carpet – dress code is shocking!
The 78th Cannes Film Festival, which will take place from May 13th to 24th, 2025, will once again attract numerous stars and celebrities to the red carpet. Juliette Binoche will take on the role of jury president for the main competition, while Robert De Niro will be awarded the honorary Palme d’Or award in the opening ceremony. The opening film “Bye Bye”, directed by Amélie Bonnin, is also highly anticipated.
The updated dress code for the red carpet sends a sign of strictness: nudity and voluminous outfits, especially those with a large train, are prohibited. This year's dress code calls for formal evening wear, cocktail dresses, dark suits and dress shoes, with sneakers specifically prohibited. Anyone who violates these guidelines will lose access to the red carpet and other areas of the festival. These regulations are part of the festival's traditional dress code, which is known for its strict standards.
The fashion highlights
Coverage of the festival's best fashions will be continually updated. Last year, the outfits of stars such as Anya Taylor-Joy, Naomi Campbell and Demi Moore stood out. This year there are already notable performances by:
- Scarlett Johansson in Prada
- Naomi Campbell in Dolce & Gabbana
- Dakota Johnson in Gucci
- A$AP Rocky in Saint Laurent, Rihanna in Alaïa
- Halle Berry in Chanel
- Julianne Moore in Bottega Veneta
- Angelina Jolie in Brunello Cucinelli
- Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton
- Irina Shayk in Elie Saab
- Gabbriette in Chrome Hearts
- Zoe Saldana in Saint Laurent
Additionally, celebrity participants such as Jodie Foster, Eva Longoria, Diane Kruger, Barbara Palvin and Kristen Stewart are represented, further fueling the festival's glamorous atmosphere. The world premiere of “Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning” with Tom Cruise on May 14, 2025 is particularly noteworthy. The film features an impressive cast including Hannah Waddingham and Angela Bassett.
Cinematic highlights and awards
A total of 22 films are competing for the Palme d’Or, the festival’s highest prize. One of the notable films is Wes Anderson's “The Phoenician Scheme,” which will premiere on May 18, 2025. In this film, Benicio Del Toro plays a wealthy businessman whose daughter is supported by Mia Threapleton, daughter of Kate Winslet, and Michael Cera.
