Some celebs, like Heidi Klum, wore long trains on the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet
Long and luxurious dress trains are a timeless fashion statement that always catches the eye. You could even wear a train with everyday outfits (because they’re not just for weddings). And while the Cannes Film Festival doesn’t favor them, it’s clear that many celebrities are still fans of long trains.
Heidi Klum stunned in a big, pink dress with ruffles, poofs, and a luxurious (but outlawed) train. The flowery gown looked like beautiful petals were stitched together, giving Klum extra mystique. Her long train trailed behind her for several feet. Furthermore, the slit down the dress’ skirt exposed Klum’s long legs — another detail Cannes likely wanted to avoid with its new dress code.
Other attendees got in on the fun, too. Chinese actor Wan QianHui also ignored the “no train” rule. She wore a massive, ivory skirt that almost leaned into butter-yellow territory, keeping her on-trend. Her puffy tulle skirt included multiple layers of marshmallow-like material, and it was obvious from her smile that QianHui loved the look.
Halle Berry changed her outfit to accommodate the Cannes Film Festival’s new dress code
Oscar winner Halle Berry had her wardrobe all picked out for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival — that is, until she heard about the new dress code. “I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it’s too big of a train. I’m not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule,” she said at a press event on the festival’s opening day (via Variety). She ended up wearing a sleeveless, striped black-and-white dress with overlaying fabric. The dress had a high neck and a slight pink poof in the back to give it more dimension. She also wore a stunning dark-gray outfit that fitted her like a glove and showed minimal skin.
Berry wasn’t the only one who appeared to compromise, but others left their opinion on the dress code more ambiguous. Julia Garner wore a modest, floor-length gown that had a short train and could be positioned with the skirt to appear less wide. On the other hand, Eva Longoria wore a thin train but appeared to position it in a way that elongated the garment. The train was held up with a bow on the back of her elegant, black-and-gold gown but was relatively small rather than “voluminous,” so it’s unknown whether this would be a violation of Cannes’ new dress code.
