While nudity was never previously endorsed at the festival, Cannes updated its dress policy on the eve of its 78th edition to read that “nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.

Several celebrities walked the red carpet on day 1 of Cannes Film Festival. While some followed the new dress code, others broke the rules and wore glam gowns.

Quentin Tarantino and his wife, Daniella Pick, arrived on the red carpet for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival's opening night on Tuesday, May 13. Tarantino is a guest of honor at this year's festival. The director and Pick first met in 2009 and married in 2018.

Nowhere is the border-crossing nature of cinema more evident than the Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off on Tuesday in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's vow to enact tariffs on international films.
