The jury is still out on if Halle Berry needed to change the outfit she had planned for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
However, the actress, 58, played it safe as to not break any rules while serving on this year’s jury. Halle, who planned to wear a dress by Indian designer Gurav Gupta at the opening ceremony’s red carpet on May 13, changed her plans after the festival updated their dress code to add a ban on “voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train,” per the festival’s website.
“I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it’s too big of a train,” Halle told Variety at a news conference. “I’m not going to break the rules.”
Halle, who instead opted to wear a black and white striped trapeze gown by Jacquemus, added, “I had to make a pivot.”
Cannes also added another rule to their dress code this year: no nudity, to which Halle noted she thinks “is probably also a good rule.”
