A rep tells THR that festival’s official charter was just updated to reflect “certain rules that have long been in effect” and the aim is “not to regulate attire per se but to prohibit full nudity on the carpet.

One of the world's most prestigious film festivals has issued new policy guidelines on red carpet attire that make it clear no nudity is allowed. What's unclear is how far that goes.

The Cannes Film Festival has officially banned nudity from the red carpet ahead of this year’s five-day event. The organizers updated their dress code on the website to include the new rule, which reads: “For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival.”
