Cara Delevingne is once again turning heads on the red carpet — and this time, it’s not just because of her fashion, but her unbothered response to the Cannes Film Festival’s controversial new dress code.

While many celebrities are adjusting to the festival’s 2025 restrictions on nude looks and dramatic trains, Delevingne walked confidently, proving that fashion freedom doesn’t need rules.

“I did hear about [the new dress code], but I don’t even think I understand it,” she told People with a laugh.

No Train, No Problem: Cara’s Take on the Dress Code

This year, Cannes Film Festival introduced new fashion guidelines banning popular red carpet trends like sheer/nude gowns and long, flowing trains. But for Cara? That’s not even a concern.

“I’m not much of a train person,” the Suicide Squad star admitted.
“A train is effort. If I could have a train that turns into a hood so I could run, that would be something!”

Her relaxed approach is refreshing in a space where many feel pressured to conform to rigid fashion standards. 

Day 1 Look: Classic Red With a Bold Twist

Cara kicked off Cannes 2025 in a floor-length red Miu Miu gown paired with a sleek black wig — a striking contrast to her usual blonde locks.

“It felt really fun to put a kind of edgy twist on a very classic silhouette,” she said, describing the look as channeling a “little character.”

She wore the ensemble to the premiere of The History of Sound and instantly earned praise for balancing glamour with personality.

Day 2 Look: Elegant and Edgy

For the Colors of Time premiere, Delevingne served up another hit — this time in a strapless black column gown with a dramatic back slit, sheer opera gloves, and black heels.

She returned to her signature blonde hair, showing her versatility and comfort in her skin — no dress code anxiety in sight.  

Why Cara’s Confidence Matters

While other stars may quietly resist or grumble about fashion rules, Cara’s open attitude showcases her confidence and creativity. She’s not just avoiding controversy — she’s owning her narrative.

“We didn’t even think about [the dress code],” she shrugged.

This carefree approach might just be the perfect celebrity reaction to the Cannes dress code — not rebellion, but irrelevance.

Fashion Rules or Fashion Freedom?

The Cannes 2025 fashion controversy has sparked debate:

• Are these dress code rules limiting female expression?
  
• Should celebrities challenge the new expectations with bold statements?
