They joined an array of A-list names at the gala including the likes of Heidi Klum, Paris Jackson, Jason Oppenheim and Leomie Anderson, among many others.

Over the past 30 years, the highly-exclusive amfAR gala has raised a total of over $265million for AIDS Research, with a huge $2.5million raked in last year alone.

Over 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. 

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,’ a Cannes festival document stated.

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

Ed and Amy, who got married in August of last year, couldn’t keep their hands of each other as they sweetly shared a kiss

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 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.
