The organisers of Cannes Film Festival have made the controversial decision to ban several types of gowns from the red carpet in the name of “decency” and “efficiency”, according to the festival-goers’ charter.
The affected garments include voluminous dresses and dresses with particularly long trains. According to the charter, these long and overly capacious dresses “hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre”
