Heidi Klum Ignores Cannes Film Festival Dress Code in Pink Floral Gown with a Massive Train
Heidi Klum attended the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony in a floral organza petal Elie Saab gown
The gown got its volume from flowers, as well as a long train
Voluminous gowns with long trains are prohibited at the Cannes Film Festival this year after an update to the dress codeHeidi Klum is making her own rules for the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
The model attended the Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day) screening and opening ceremony at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 13 in a larger-than-life floral Elie Saab gown that was in direct violation of the festival's new dress code.
For the event, Klum wore a floral illusion gown by Elie Saab. The show-stopping piece featured layer after layer of pink organza, cut to mimic delicate floral petals. The Elie Saab piece had a strapless bust and a leg-baring side slit that extended into a carpet-grazing train.
The model also wore Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry for added sparkle.
The 51-year-old went simple with her glam, adding a smoky eye and black eyeliner to her lids, and going light on blush and lip color.
Though Klum's Elie Saab gown was certainly a head-turner, it violates the new Cannes Film Festival dress code, due to its voluminous nature and its long train.
The Cannes Film Festival official FAQ website reads, "nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival," due to "decency reasons." The rules further note that "voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted."

Klum wasn't the only one to do a voluminous gown with a floor grazing train at the Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day) screening, either.
Wan QianHui arrived to the same red carpet event as Klum in a cream tulle ball gown with large, ruffled layers. The gown — which is also in violation of the film festival dress code — featured an eye-catching skirt that extended into a massive train.
'This year, the Cannes Film Festival has made explicit in its charter certain rules that have long been in effect. The aim is not to regulate attire per se, but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in accordance with the institutional framework of the event and French law,' new instruction from the festival read.
While the America's Got Talent judge was not apprehended by security at the event, the Cannes FAQ website said that their team 'reserves the right to deny access to individuals whose attire could obstruct the movement of other guests or complicate seating arrangements in the screening rooms.'

Permitted attire at this year's Cannes Film Festival includes 'a little black dress, a cocktail dress, a dark-colored pantsuit, a dressy top with black pants; a black or navy blue suit with bow-tie or dark-colored tie." Attendees can also arrive at the festival in "elegant shoes and sandals with or without a heel," but sneakers are not permitted.
Halle Berry, who is serving as one of the members of the jury at Cannes this year, revealed that the new dress code led to a last-minute change to her red carpet look.
'I had an amazing dress by [Gaurav] Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it's too big of a train,' Berry told Variety. 'I'm not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule.'

Monyetta Shaw-Carter's Birthday Hits Different – She's Celebrating Life & Love After A Stage 1 Breast Cancer Battle
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Today (May 31) isn't just another birthday for Monyetta Shaw-Carter — it's a full-on rebirth. After battling stage 1 breast cancer, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star's special day hits different. She is turning 45 and celebrating with purpose, power, and a whole lot of pink. 'I caught the cancer early, and because of that, I will be here for my kids,' she told People . 'There's nothing more important than getting checked often and early to protect your future. Our health is irreplaceable.' Her diagnosis came after she felt an unusual sensation in her left breast last September. She didn't find a lump but told People she had a strange feeling that something was off. She listened. And that instinct saved her life. 'It was literally like my body was alerting me that something was wrong,' Monyetta said. 'It's so important for me to share this story because I hope to inspire others not to dismiss their gut feeling. Our body speaks to us, and when it does, we have to listen. It can be a matter of life or death.' One month after that self-check, a mammogram confirmed she had stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. She underwent a lumpectomy in January and completed 16 rounds of radiation by May 2. Now, weeks later, she's bringing her loved ones together for a joyful, pink-powered birthday bash. Her party honors life, resilience, and sisterhood. Monyetta credits her husband, Heath Carter, for being her rock through it all. She also had the support of her ex-fiancé, singer NE-YO, with whom she shares two children. 'NE-YO was just showing up for me in a major way and just always asking and making sure everything was okay,' she recalled in a recent interview. 'He was like, 'Oh, you're gonna beat this.'' Her RHOA circle also showed up with love. Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton, and Shereé Whitfield all supported. For Monyetta Shaw-Carter, breast cancer is real but not unbeatable. So why not celebrate? As the founder of Keep It Classy Nails , a mother of four, and a businesswoman, she wants Black women everywhere to trust their instincts, take care of themselves, and live on their own terms. 'I'm stepping into this new chapter with deeper gratitude, unstoppable faith, and a whole new glow,' she wrote on Instagram. 'This birthday is more than candles and cake…it's a celebration of life, a reflection of pain & purpose, of healing, and God's grace. I've faced one of the biggest battles of my life… and I WON!!!'

Miley Cyrus speaks out about dad Billy Ray's romance with Elizabeth Hurley
Miley Cyrus is sharing her thoughts on her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus ' new relationship and reflecting on how their own bond has evolved. In a new interview with The New York Times published Saturday, the Grammy winner spoke candidly about Billy Ray's romance with actress Elizabeth Hurley, as well as her mom Tish Cyrus' marriage to actor Dominic Purcell. "Now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too -- I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing," Miley told the outlet. "I'm being an adult about it." She continued, "At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up." Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, who tied the knot in 1993, divorced in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage. They share three children -- Miley, Braison, and Noah -- and Billy Ray also adopted Tish's two older children, Brandi and Trace. Billy Ray went public with his relationship with Hurley on Easter Sunday. Their debut as a couple came just months after he finalized his divorce from his second wife, Firerose, in August 2024, according to People. In her New York Times interview, Miley also addressed longstanding speculation about her relationship with her father. When asked if they were estranged, she simply replied, "No." "I think timing is everything," she explained. "As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents -- because my mom really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard. And so I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain." Her comments followed a rare family photo that Billy Ray shared earlier this month, showing the family reunited to celebrate Braison's 31st birthday -- a moment that came after months of rumors about a rift between the father and daughter. Miley also directly addressed those rumors in a statement shared to her Instagram stories on May 10. "My dad and I have had our challenges over the years," she wrote at the time, per E! News. "Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family." Billy Ray echoed those sentiments in his own Mother's Day post on Instagram, praising his daughter and the progress they've made. "I'm so proud of Miley and her guts and her courage... her wisdom and strength to bring it when our family needed it most," he wrote. "We are so close to a full healing."
