#SHOWBIZ: Cannes Film Festival: Zhao Yingzi ejected for 'overtly sexy' dress
CANNES: Chinese actress Zhao Yingzi was recently ejected from the red carpet of the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France by event organisers due to her overly revealing attire. According to a report by ET Today, Zhao's dress was deemed a violation of the official dress code established by the Cannes Film Festival organisers. A viral photo shows Yingzi in a semi-transparent silver gown that seemingly exposes much of her body, including her chest and midriff, with only sparse embellishments providing minimal coverage. The festival organisers are known to enforce strict rules regarding guest appearances. "Full-body exposure is not permitted at red carpet events. The organisers reserve the right to deny entry to anyone who does not comply with the rules," stated the organisers of the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Previously, the organisers had reportedly issued a reminder on their official website, urging guests to maintain modesty in their appearance throughout the entire festival area, not just on the red carpet. The announcement specifically prohibited "flashy" clothing that could disrupt the comfort and movement of other attendees. Consequently, most guests opted for more modest and conservative attire compared to previous editions, demonstrating respect for the newly introduced regulations. The 78th Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to take place from May 13 to 24.

Chinese actress Zhao Yingzi whisked away from 2025 Cannes red carpet over dress code drama; fans think she lingered too long

According to Korean outlet Chosun Biz (via Chinese media ET Today), Zhao Yingzi attended the Cannes opening ceremony on May 14 (local time) in a silver sheer ensemble that turned heads. While organisers reportedly asked her to leave the red carpet due to the outfit's revealing nature, fans argue the look wasn't out of place and suspect there may have been other reasons behind her removal.

The outfit featured a sheer bodice adorned with symmetrical crystal and rhinestone appliqués resembling chandelier jewellery, extending from the chest to the waist. Though parts of the design created a nude illusion, the detailing was layered over a sheer fabric that maintained coverage. The bottom part of the outfit featured a high-slit skirt piece made of mesh or chainmail-like silver fabric, densely covered in rhinestones or sequins.
