In Saint Laurent, Bella Hadid Teases The New Dress Code At Cannes
The Cannes Film Festival is officially underway, with stars finally hitting the red carpet following a last-minute brow-raising dress code change. With this year's ban on nudity, voluminous dresses and dramatic trains, an uptick in curiosity over the incoming looks can be expected. Fortunately, it seems the new rules are yet to affect the sartorial prowess we have all come to expect at the iconic festival year after year.
At Cannes, fashion rules have oft been broken, and nude moments have long been toed if not embraced. It seems this year was no different, with a few rebels among the crowd at the Croisette. Though skin-baring and traffic-stopping gowns aside, there were show-stopping looks abound.
A crowd favourite at the festival, Bella Hadid returned to the opening ceremony this year in a black custom Saint Laurent gown. While the model is no stranger to a nearly nude look, with her sheer dress last year grabbing headlines, this year she skirted around the concept, with a thigh high slit and low back on the silk number. Complimenting the look were strappy Saint Laurent heels and Chopard jewels. To top it all off, she showed off her new warm-blonde locks in a side part.

Hers was not the only look staying just within the new dress code. Fellow model Heidi Klum attended the festival in a large floral Elie Saab gown with a dramatic fluttering train—despite large trains being banned this year, it seems the festival isn't enforcing this rule too heavily. The stunning floral illusion gown also featured a leg baring slit and was worn with Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

On the other end of the spectrum, some stars decided to avoid risks altogether. Halle Berry, actress and a member of the festival jury this year, appeared on the red carpet in a chic Jacquemus black and white striped number. However, it turns out the high-neck gown was not her first pick.
'I had an amazing dress by [Gaurav] Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it's too big of a train,' Berry explained to Variety . 'I'm not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule.' This statement comes not too long after Berry's own sparkling, nearly-nude look on the Met Gala red carpet this year.

It'll be interesting to see the ensembles that come out of the festival's two weeks, and whether stars will continue to go against the grain or adjust to the festival's new, prudent ethos.

Katy Perry attends the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on July 09, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Marc Piasecki/WireImage) Amid the Canadian leg of her tour, Katy Perry has taken time out of her schedule for what seems to be a dinner date with an unexpected local. This Monday, the singer was spotted in Montreal, having dinner with the former Canadian Prime Minster, Justin Trudeau. Earlier in the day, the pair were spotted on a stroll around Mount Royal Park. The two walked around for an hour, appreciating the city views, before heading off to their dinner reservation at the Le Violon. As per images obtained by TMZ, Perry and Trudeau were engaged in conversation throughout their meal, which included several dishes and cocktails. At one point the chef came out to greet the duo, however, they also visited the kitchen to thank the staff themselves later on. Afterwards, the two headed off to the Taverne Atlantic for drinks. Thus far, neither has commented on their outing or the nature of their relationship.

(Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) This outing comes after Perry and her then-fiancé Orlando Bloom announced their breakup earlier this month, after 10 years together. They confirmed that they had been split for some time and had been focused on coparenting. A few days later they were spotted out with their 4-year-old daughter and seemed to be amicable. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect,' is what their reps had to say on the matter. Meanwhile, Trudeau and his wife at the time Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, announced their separation in 2023, after 18 years together. The pair have three children together. That's all we know for now regarding the surprising pair, though we'll definitely stay tuned for updates.

Benett/Dave Benett/WireImage) In January at this year's Golden Globes, Zendaya caused quite the stir on the red carpet when she debuted a sparkling engagement ring. Soon after, sources confirmed her engagement to Tom Holland having taken place during the holiday season prior. Expectedly, fans have been abuzz ever since, anticipating the pairs nuptials. Perhaps one of the most pressing topics of conversation has been what the known style icon will wear for the big day. According to her longtime stylist, Law Roach, the couple are in no rush to tie the knot. Zendaya attends the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 05, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/WireImage) Speaking to E!News earlier this month , Law Roach confirmed that, 'The process hasn't even started yet,' when asked for updates. 'Zendaya is working on so many movies,' he explained. 'She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.' Roach has been working with Zendaya since 2011 and will likely be styling the bride on the day. However, fans may be hard-pressed for details even once planning does start. The stylist referred to Zendaya as 'a secret bride', expressing that details of the day and the dress will be kept quiet. That being said, he teased the timeline, saying that he was, 'resting up for 2026.' Law Roach and Zendaya are seen backstage at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony streaming on Disney+ at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on October 19, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo byfor The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) The longtime stylist was also happy to speak on the couple's relationship when asked. 'I'm really excited because I know that they really love each other and they have for a really long time,' he gushed. 'The fact that the world has been able to share in that love story, I think it's really beautiful.' That we can squarely agree with. Further, whatever kind of bride Zendaya ends up being, her style history tells us it'll surely be a sartorial moment for the books. Tom Holland and Zendaya are seen leaving the Corner Bar on October 24, 2024 in New York City.

Sabrina Carpenter Is A Vision Of Glamour In This Backless Red Dress

(Photo by Jamie McCarthy/WireImage) Whether it's through her spicy lyrics, eyebrow raising album art, or her style both on and off the stage, Sabrina Carpenter knows how to make a statement. After-all, the singer's bold and unapologetic persona is what draws in so many of her fans. Aptly, in an eye-catching sartorial moment this week, the singer showed off a daring ensemble on Instagram. In a photo-dump seeming to chronicle her time in Europe, Carpenter posted a series of snaps which included candid shots with friends, espresso (not the song), a 'Manchild' themed pinball machine, and of course, plenty of outfits. Sabrina Carpenter out at dinner / Image: Captioned 'newsflash pal', the post included a picture of the singer out at dinner in a red halter dress with a teasingly low back. The piece featured a tie-up neck detail, as well as ruching at the skirt which gave the silky fabric a gently draped effect. Paired with loose curls and a warm glam, the ensemble was picture perfect against the glamorous candle lit setting on display. In a period of endless micro-trends, deep archival pulls, and references to eras gone by, the piece has an air of timelessness and reachability to it; a style sure to complement any luxe dinner outing; for those looking for a seductive pull. While we'd love for Carpenter to please (please please) drop exact dress details, we've also compiled our own list of backless halter styles. Keep scrolling for our edit of where to shop the look.
