French actress Frédérique Bel (50) heated up the red carpet in a stunning gold sequin dress, unfazed by the new "nude dress code" at the Cannes Film Festival.
Bel attended the opening ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival on the 14th (local time), wearing a sheer style dress highlighted by an extremely deep neckline and cutout mesh panels. This dress, featuring a bold cut that reveals the waistline and a high slit, directly contradicted the festival's newly announced "dress code for maintaining dignity."
A new charter banning "full nudity or clothing close to nudity" has been implemented at this year's festival. The official document states, "Nudity is prohibited in all areas, not just on the red carpet, and individuals who violate the regulations may be restricted from entry."
However, Bel paired her gold sequin dress with stiletto heels and a whimsical clutch shaped like a French fry, showcasing her own wit. She styled her long brown hair in a voluminous updo and drew attention with green stone earrings and glamorous makeup.
During the opening ceremony, held alongside the screening of the film "Partir Un Jour," Bel posed freely on the red carpet, exuding a presence that favored "freedom" over "regulation."
Bel gained recognition through her roles in the French drama "Le Grand Journal de Canal Plus," "Face Park," and "Profilage," and she is a regular guest showcasing her unique fashion sense on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet each year.
This year's festival has introduced guidelines encouraging the wearing of "formal attire" such as classic black dresses, evening gowns, or pantsuits, prioritizing "dignity over style." However, Bel's actions are being interpreted as a challenge to the new dress code or a form of fashion resistance, generating buzz.
