Braless Charli XCX makes the most of being off the red carpet in a sheer dress after new film festival nudity rules - as she joins glam Salma Hayek, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Daisy Edgar-Jones at Cannes party
The 78th annual film festival began earlier this week, with the event seeing celebrities from across the globe attend the premieres of the hottest films of the year.
And away from the red carpet, things heated up as A-list were out in full force for an evening of celebrations at the presidential dinner.
Singer Charli, 32, went completely braless in a sheer dress as she got glammed up for the occasion in the see-through number.
Despite the no nudity rules recently taking effect at the film festival, Charli took the opportunity to show off her stunning figure in the purple gown at the dinner.
Her dress featured a feathered train which attached onto her racy outfit.
Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 38, wore a gorgeous strapless black gown and gave a smouldering stare in her cat eye sunglasses.
She oozed glamour in the floor-sweeping gown, which showed off her incredibly toned physique.
Meanwhile, Salma Hayek, 58, wowed in a sequinned and feathered dress, and she looked amazing ahead of the dinner.
Actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, 26, debuted an orange velvet and sequinned midi dress, which she paired with classic strappy black heels.
Over recent years, Cannes has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette.
But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency,' have been implemented at this year's festival.
According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet.
'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document.
'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.'
The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour.
Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed two-week schedule in Cannes.
It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles.
Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted.
While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.
Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions
Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements.
In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors).
She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.

Mum easily saves herself £400 by DIY-ing the perfect baby wardrobe using £60 B&Q basic buy
DI-WOW She's even got a plan to make the wardrobe work when her daughter is older too A MUM has shown how she saved herself a whopping £400 by turning a basic £60 buy into a gorgeous baby wardrobe. Nikole, who welcomed a baby girl into the world four months ago, admitted she'd been looking at different wardrobe options for the tot, but didn't want to spend loads. 4 4 4 So, she came up with a clever way to use an B&Q unit instead. "Turn this Kallax unit into a wardrobe for my four-month-old with me," Nikole wrote over the top of a picture on TikTok. She then shared a snap of the inspiration, as well as the final product. In another video, she detailed how she completed the transformation step by step. She began by taking out the centre sections of the top two shelves, before replacing it with a curtain pole. She then used some drawers, also from B&Q, to put in the third shelf down, before using fabric containers to go in the bottom two sections. Nikole finished off the transformation by adding some plastic baskets for extra storage at the bottom of the top part, which she got from TikTok Shop. "They're actually quite handy because you can stack them on top of each other but I think it all matches," she added. "It makes it all look really girly and I love it!" Nikole concluded by saying she's "very happy" with how it turned out, and is "obsessed" with the finished look. 'I can't wait for my kids to move out in September – I'm celebrating getting my life back with £2,000 party' "Swear I'd never seen anyone do this before and I did this for my little boy a few months back!" one person commented on the TikTok. "Now we've all had the same idea! Great minds think alike!" "It's such a quick and easy way at to add a little bit of extra storage," Nikole replied. "You literally saved my storage problem!" another praised. "I did this when my son was born, best thing I ever did," a third exclaimed. "So creative, love it!" someone else said. "That;s actually a really good idea!" another wrote. While someone else praised Nikole's "amazing work", another called it "so smart". "Dammit I got rid of ours! Wish I thought of this!" someone else sighed. However, there was another mum who said that while the wardrobe works "brilliantly for when they are tiny", it's harder as they get older, as the "clothes got bigger and it just didn't work". But Nikole had thought of that too, as she replied: "When she gets bigger I'm planning to remove the pink boxes, move the drawers down and make the wardrobe part longer to get more use out of it." 4

Ulrika Jonsson hits out at Andy Carroll for 'gallivanting across the Mediterranean' with Lou Teasdale while his ex Billi Mucklow 'chooses to put their children first'
has criticised Andy Carroll for 'gallivanting across the Mediterranean' with his girlfriend Lou Teasale while his ex Billi Mucklow is at home with their children. Billi and Andy have three children together - Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae - and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship. The footballer is now in a relationship with make-up artist Lou, recently confirming they had got back together after a brief split earlier this month. Ulrika has been distinctly unimpressed with Andy's loved-up social media snaps with Lou from their travels while TOWIE star Billi looks after his children. In her column for The Sun, she wrote: 'Billi is at home with the three children she shares with Carroll and the two children he has from a previous relationship. She's been going about her business quietly, diligently, with unwavering dignity. Choosing to put the children first. 'She has understood that children need continuity, connection and a daily routine, so while their father has been gallivanting across the Mediterranean with his tongue attached to Lou Teasdale's tonsils, she has chosen to prioritise those she loves the most.' Ulrika asked why is it often the mother who stays at home taking care of the children while the father finds it easier to 'leave his family behind'. 'The mother is the one who remains at home with the children; who doesn't rush into another relationship; who understands she needs to get her ducks in a row before embarking on a new life?' she wrote. 'Why is it that it's so much easier for a man to just leave his family behind and go and satisfy his own needs?' Ulrika added that Andy and Lou's 'summer of love' has been so relentless, she's 'exhausted' just watching their antics. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Andy Carroll for comment. It comes after Andy revealed he is back with Lou following a brief split earlier this week. The couple split after a series of rows, with initial reports claiming the footballer dumped the make-up artist after becoming fed up with her high maintenance behaviour. However, Daily Mail exclusively revealed on Wednesday it was in fact Lou who called off the relationship. Andy has now vowed to cut down on alcohol in a bid to save their relationship after boozy rows as he confirmed the pair are trying 'to work through their difficulties'. He told The Sun on Sunday: 'I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple.' Referring to his divorce from wife Billi Mucklow, who he shares three children with, Andy added: 'Things have been difficult for me and I'm going through a divorce. 'Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it's not a problem in my life. 'We're better off together and we're trying to work through our difficulties.' The pair, who were together for just over a year, unfollowed each other on social media and Andy wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram. They now follow each other on Instagram and have added their loved-up snaps back to their pages. On Wednesday, a source told the Daily Mail: 'It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance. 'She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. 'Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through. 'However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she's staying. 'He will think it's a romantic gesture but for Lou, she's unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she's not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation now. 'All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.' The pair began dating last year after he separated from wife Billi last September. Andy and Billi called it quits divorce after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year. In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Andy was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do. Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened. Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple's marriage was over - with Andy confirming they had started divorce proceedings after 'a hard few months for our family'. Andy said in a statement at the time: 'Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings'. 'It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.' The former couple have three children together Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship
