Elena Perminova appeared to flout Cannes Film Festival’s new ‘decency’ rules as she went braless in a daring look for the amfAR Gala on Thursday.

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.

She showed off her incredible figure in a white strapped dress with a completely sheer bodice with cherub sтιтching over her chest.

Elena swept a feathered shawl over her arms and added to her frame with a pair of peep-toe heels.

She toted her essentials in a small white handbag with a circular gold handle as she confidently strutted her stuff on the carpet. 

MailOnline has contacted Elena’s representatives and Cannes for comment. 

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,’ states a Cannes festival document.

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

Elena slicked her blonde tresses back into a тιԍнт up-do and added to her striking features with a bronzed make-up palette 

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.
