Bella Hadid wore a bold sheer, tie-front long-sleeve top at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2026, a look from Preluvd highlighted by Vogue, as Cannes enforces a 2025 dress-code ban on nudity across the carpet and festival venues.
At the 79th Cannes Film Festival in 2026, organizers enforce a strict dress code: nudity is banned on the red carpet and festival grounds, sheer ‘naked’ gowns are forbidden, and outfits with long trains that block traffic are not allowed; sneakers are discouraged for gala screenings. For Grand Théâtre Lumière galas, evening wear is required, while other screenings permit dressy attire; the updated charter now allows elegant shoes and sandals with or without heels, though staff will deny entry to rule-breakers. Past incidents with Halle Berry and Heidi Klum helped shape the rules, and Cannes officials are watching this year to ensure compliance.
A surf lifesaving club in Australia has implemented a no-nudity policy in changing rooms and showers, citing child protection concerns. Members have criticized the policy, with one saying it promotes body-shaming. The club's letter warning members of the policy has caused anxiety and led to resignations. Surf Life Saving Australia's Child Safe Policy advises against showering or changing at the same time as supervising children and avoiding one-to-one situations with a child or young person in a change room area.
