Heidi Klum Boldly Broke One of Cannes Film Festival's New Dress Code Rules With Her Red Carpet Look
Heidi Klum is not playing by the rules at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival!
The 51-year-old model stepped out on the red carpet for the opening ceremony of the French film festival, and to a screening of Leave One Day, wearing a dramatic look that might just breach newly-released dress code rules.

Klum, who is never one to tame down her looks for anyone, wore a stunning Elie Saab Haute Couture gown. The strapless pink dress emulated a blooming flower with tiered, petal-like details that flowed out into a train that took over the red carpet. She styled the look with strappy heels and wore her blonde hair in loose waves that fell behind her shoulders.
Of course, the words 'dramatic' and 'train' might be considered a no-go area after the notoriously strict organization tightened up its guidelines even more than usual.
Ahead of the festival, the official FAQ website for the event shared updated dress code requirements that stated, '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.'
Less applicable to Klum was another headline-making rule that stated, 'nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival,' due to 'decency reasons.'
Halle Berry, who is serving on this year's competition jury, admitted that she had to make a last minute outfit change because of the new rules. 'I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it's too big of a train,' Berry said during a Cannes press conference on May 13, per Variety, regarding her look for tonight's opening night gala. 'I'm not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule.'
However, Klum's Cannes wardrobe is always pushing boundaries, so we're guessing the model didn't want to opt for a simpler look. In 2023, Klum took over the red carpet in a yellow, cutout gown with billowing sleeves that she tossed into the air to add drama to her photos.
In 2024, the model attended the amFAR Gala in a ruffled blush-toned gown by Ukranian designer Lever Couture.Best of SheKnows

Doue lauds ‘really good human being' Enrique after PSG win Champions League
PSG's wonderkid Desire Doue hailed his manager Luis Enrique after scoring twice to help his side win the Champions League. The French champions thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich to win the club's first ever Champions League title. Advertisement PSG got off to the perfect start when Achraf Hakimi slotted in from close range on just 12 minutes. Doue then grabbed his first and his side's second with a deflected strike which beat Yann Sommer, before adding his second just after the hour mark to make it 3-0. Khvicha Kvaratskheklia and youngster Senny Mayulu then added one each to round off a brutal beating for Inter. Doue has enjoyed a fantastic debut season at the club after signing from Rennes last summer, scoring 15 times in all competitions. And the 19-year-old credited his manager Enrique for helping him to settle so quickly. 'He's been here two years and he's made history for the club,' Doue told TNT Sports. Advertisement 'Tactically, mentally, he's a really good coach and not just as a coach, as a human being too. 'It's a pleasure to work with him. 'It's just incredible for me. I have no words.' PSG have long been contenders in the Champions League knockout stages, and finished as runners up back in 2020 when they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the final. Having seen superstars like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe come and go without winning the competition, however, PSG midfielder Vitinha says it shows just how good this current team is. 'It means everything,' Vitinha said. 'The fans are the main reason we wanted to win this trophy. Advertisement 'But we wanted to win this trophy for a lot of reasons. It's our dream, it's everyone's dream, it's my dream and I'm glad we made it. It's incredible. 'It says a lot about this group of players, this team. It's a very good team and this result is not by magic. We are a very good team and we are very happy we did it like this and now we're going to celebrate.'

Blake Lively Abandons Claims Against Justin Baldoni of Infliction of Emotional Distress
Blake Lively is attempting to withdraw her claims against Justin Baldoni of intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The move comes after Baldoni's legal team sought discovery that included her medical records in their efforts to defend the 'It Ends With Us' director against her claim that she suffered 'severe emotional distress and pain, humiliation, embarrassment, belittlement, frustration and mental anguish.' Lively's attempt to withdraw the two claims surfaced in a filing Monday by Baldoni's attorneys, who are seeking to compel the actress to sign a HIPAA release for access to therapy notes and other relevant information. 'Instead of complying with the Medical RFPs, Ms. Lively's counsel recently advised us, in writing, that Ms. Lively is withdrawing her [infliction of emotional distress] Claims,' today's filing states. 'However, Ms. Lively has refused the Wayfarer Parties' reasonable request that the withdrawal of such claims be with prejudice. She is only willing to withdraw her claims without prejudice. In other words, Ms. Lively wants to simultaneously: (a) refuse to disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress and/or that the Wayfarer Parties were the cause; and (b) maintain the right to re-file her IED Claims at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed.' More from Variety Taylor Swift Excluded From Baldoni-Lively Narrative, as Subpoena Is Withdrawn Blake Lively's Lawyers Fight Back Against Taylor Swift Blackmail Accusation: 'Unequivocally and Demonstrably False' Taylor Swift Subpoenaed by Justin Baldoni's Attorney in Blake Lively Suit The court will now need to decide whether to compel Lively to turn over the information on her mental health, which she has sought to avoid, or dismiss the two claims with or without prejudice. It is standard procedure in cases alleging physical or emotional injury for the defense to access the plaintiff's medical records that would shine a light on the root and scope of alleged distress. What is unusual is for a plaintiff to abandon the claims midstream given that it is well known heading into such a lawsuit that medical records will be an unpleasant but inevitable part of the discovery process. The filing, addressed to Judge Liman in U.S. District Court Southern District of New York and signed by Baldoni attorney Kevin Fritz, offers a window on a back and forth that appears to have played out between lawyers for the dueling sides. It continues: 'Ms. Lively cannot have it both ways. If Ms. Lively wants to withdraw her frivolous IED Claims, the Wayfarer Parties are entitled to a dismissal with prejudice to ensure they will not be re-filed. If Ms. Lively is unwilling to stipulate to the dismissal of her IED Claims with prejudice, then the Wayfarer Parties will continue to defend against them, and she must produce her medical information and documents as set forth herein.' The two emotional distress claims were key components of Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni, which she filed in federal court in December after he sued the New York Times for defamation over its story about what happened on the set and in the run-up to the release of the 2024 domestic violence drama, which became a box-office hit, earning $351 million at the box office worldwide off of a $25 million budget. Lively claims she was sexually harassed by Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath and subjected to a smear campaign by his proxies when she complained. Baldoni, who is suing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for $400 million, claims the 'It Ends With Us' star tried to extort him and subsequently defamed him. 'By alleging that she suffered physical and emotional injuries, Ms. Lively has placed her physical and mental condition at issue and, in turn, must produce relevant information and documents [including] psychiatric records,' today's filing states. 'In other words, Ms. Lively has waived any doctor-patient privilege.' The twists and turns in the saga, which now includes six related lawsuits, have hit the docket quickly. Baldoni is also suing and being sued by his former publicist Stephanie Jones who he claims leaked text messages that sparked the ordeal.
