The star-studded festival has seen its A-list guests wear ɴuᴅᴇ fashion looks on its red carpets in recent years, but stringent new rules have been enforced this year banning nudity.

However, Russian model Elena, 38, appeared to ignore the regulations as she opted to go braless while joining the annual fundraising event, which is a staple at Cannes.

Cannes – where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world – is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d’Or, to give out at the end.

Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.

Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro – who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes – and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman. 

In recent years, Cannes has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette.

Attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements. 

But new nudity rules, for the ‘sake of decency’, have been implemented at this year’s festival.

On the red carpet, Heidi elevated her height in strappy black heels and kept her jewellery to a minimum with a bare chest and diamond earrings

According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet. 

‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,’ states a Cannes festival document.

‘The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.’

It’s understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles.

Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, ‘with or without a heel’, will also be permitted.

While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions.
