Cannes 2025 Red Carpet: 2025 Dress Code - Tailoring Is the New Tulle

Updated: 4 days ago

The Cannes Film Festival 2025 red carpet made headlines — not for excess, but for elegance. In a bold move, the iconic event introduced a new dress code banning ultra-sheer fabrics and extravagant gowns. Instead of chaos, we got tailored fashion, minimalist glamour, and some of the most refined red carpet moments in recent memory.


For the first time in recent history, the Cannes Film Festival's red carpet rules shifted in favor of elegance over extravagance. Gone were the oversized silhouettes and sheer drama — replaced with custom tailoring, refined lines, and thoughtful silhouettes. Fashion’s message this year?

Structure > Shock.

Heidi Klum made waves at Cannes 2025 in a high-octane fuchsia gown that defied subtlety and embraced unapologetic glamour. The voluminous, hot pink number by Elie Saab featured dramatic ruffles, a plunging neckline, and a sky-high slit that reminded everyone that red carpet fashion is meant to be fun, fierce, and a little fearless. In a year marked by modesty and tailoring due to the sheer fabric ban, Klum’s Barbiecore bombshell look brought color, confidence, and undeniable charisma to the Croisette. With her signature blonde waves and effortless poise, she stole the spotlight—again.

Yes — that was a hoodie on the red carpet. And yes — it was perfection.
