Riley Keough Cleverly Evades Cannes Dress Code Rule in Sheer Look on Red Carpet

And while Riley found a way to make sheer outfit work for this year’s film festival, Halle Berry had to do a complete 180 for her look at the 2025 opening ceremony.

“I had an amazing dress by [designer Gurav Gupta] that I cannot wear tonight because it’s too big of a train,” she told Variety at a news conference in May of last year. “I’m not going to break the rules.”

Instead, the Oscar winner wore a black and white striped trapeze gown by Jacquemus, explaining, “I had to make a pivot.”

As for the ban on nudity? Halle could see the benefit of that one, adding that it’s “probably also a good rule.”
