What Cannes Dress Code? Marion Cotillard Naked Dresses Anyway in a Crochet Chanel Gown

Marion Cotillard wore a naked Chanel dress to the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

The closer celebrities get to the 2026 Cannes Film Festival's final day, the nakeder their red carpet looks become. Bella Hadid couldn't take it anymore on May 20, so she proudly defied the dress code in a semi-sheer crochet Schiaparelli gown. Hours later, Marion Cotillard snuck past the same "no nudity" regulators in a nearly-naked black dress from Chanel.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of Cannes' own actions. Tell fashion girls to revoke the naked dress trend, and they're going to show extra skin just to spite the dress code. Cotillard did just that at the Roma Elastica premiere, with help from Chanel and stylist Eliott Bliss. Creative director Matthieu Blazy made the sleeveless, boatneck style just opaque enough around her bust and bottom, that way she was less likely to get stopped before ascending those iconic Cannes stairs.
