Telling a fashion girl not to walk a red carpet in a naked dress will undeniably have the opposite effect. The 2026 Cannes Film Festival dress code didn't prohibit sheer styles from Daisy Edgar-Jones's wardrobe rack. It just required her to get a bit more creative in the nearly-naked department.
Few celebrity guests have dared to defy the dress code since the first Cannes 2026 premiere on May 12. Everyone from Barbara Palvin to Demi Moore has stayed loyal to the no-nudity clause in opaque gowns from Miu Miu, Gucci, Jacquemus, and more. Props to Edgar-Jones for sneaking past the dress code regulators in a semi-sheer dress from Balenciaga Fall 2026.
