It takes some audacity to force Academy Award winner and Hollywood icon Halle Berry to change her clothes, but the Cannes Film Festival's dress code still did.
Berry, a competition juror at the annual film festival, planned to walk the opening ceremony's red carpet at the Palais des Festivals wearing Indian designer Gurav Gupta. The couturier is best known for dressing stars like Adele in pieces with sculptural shoulders, full skirts, and trains with a length to rival the carpet itself. But the updated Cannes dress code decreed a ban on "voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train." And while guests like Heidi Klum still committed to their original, high-volume pieces anyway, Halle Berry saw no other course of action but to make a last-minute switch.
