While naked dresses are taking over most red carpets these days, Cannes decided to opt out of the trend this year. In the FAQ section of its website, it states, “Nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.”
Take Charli XCX, for example, who rocked a custom Saint Laurent lavender dress at the festival’s Presidential Dinner on May 18. Her slinky dress had a sheer cutout over her midriff and legs. She teamed the look with a dramatic boa that dragged behind her as she walked.
