Cannes Film Festival jury member Halle Berry revealed a last-minute wardrobe scramble due to the festival's recently updated dress code.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, the Oscar-winning actress explained that her original gown, designed by Gupta, fell foul of the new regulations concerning oversized trains.
