The best and worst looks on the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival is underway, and the iconic Croisette is alive with glamour as stars arrive in their most extravagant couture outfits.

The 78th instalment of the French festival is running from May 13 to May 24.

Stars in attendance this year include Tom Cruise (showcasing the latest instalment in his Mission: Impossible franchise), Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence, Bella Hadid, Jeremy Strong, Heidi Klum, Halle Berry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and many more.

While the film screenings are the heart of the festival, the spotlight often shifts to the dazzling fashion that accompanies it.

Ahead of this year’s event, the organizers announced new updates to its red carpet dress code. For the first time in Cannes' history, a strict dress code has been implemented prohibiting any form of nudity.

“For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,” the website mandate reads.

Cannes also noted that “voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted.”

With no clear indication of what is and isn’t acceptable, what’s considered “nudity,” and what the “voluminous” limits are, A-list attendees are showing up in a plethora of styles, from understated to grandiose.

Here is a list of all the best and worst looks on the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
