00:09In 2015, during the Cannes Film Festival, a controversy erupted.
00:13Several women were reportedly refused entry to a gala screening
00:16because they wore flat shoes instead of heels.
00:19The case notably concerns a screening of Carole, the film by Todd Haynes.
00:23And now Cannes finds itself with a scandal that is almost absurd.
00:25We are at the world's largest film festival and the public debate becomes
00:30Is a woman allowed to walk up the stairs without heels?
00:33Let's breathe!
00:34The festival director, Thierry Frémaux, later denied the existence of an official rule mandating high heels.
00:40And The Hollywood Reporter reports that he challenged the idea of an official high heels policy.
00:46So, high heels, but the controversy doesn't end there.
00:48Emily Blunt, who was present that year for Sicario, reacted publicly.
00:52She says it's very disappointing and adds that in her opinion, everyone should be able to wear
00:58flat shoes.
00:59And besides, in 2025, the Cannes Film Festival changed things again regarding the dress code.
01:04He refuses all outfits where they are naked and outfits that are much too voluminous.
01:10The bulky outfits are to prevent them from hindering movement on the mat.
01:14So that's understandable.
