It is the world’s most prestigious film event, and each hopes to receive an ovation where their project is the longest.
But before previewing upcoming films at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, participants tried to win the title with the best dresses on the red carpet by dripping attractive and often luxurious designer clothing.
Unfortunately for the unfortunate few, the time spent planning clothes is hidden by embarrassing clothing accidents.
Among the A-listers, whose time on the red carpet was associated with a nasty encounter, was Jennifer Lawrence.
The 33-year-old actress arrived with her love co-star Robert Pattinson wearing a dramatic floor-sweeping gown.
However, their epic entrance was caught when Robert accidentally stomps Jennifer’s huge dress train and shortly stopped her with her truck.
The pros looked back, breathless before the pair giggled out. The media-trained star quickly regained her composure and continued down the red carpet together and smiled.
Elsewhere, it was a major incident for Indian actress and model Urvasi Lautera, when Eagle Eyed fans were shedding tears in their luxurious black gowns.

Lavalsi arrived on the carpet for the L’Egent Secret, placed a dramatic black display and gathered gowns.
However, attention was blocked from the elegant train in the dress as the mesh sleeves slit into the seams connected to the rest of her dress.
Thankfully, the photographer was able to capture a 31 year old child from a 31 year old angle. There, the stitching error was not as visible.
Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman never suffered from fashion accidents, but her hairstyle attracted attention for all the wrong reasons.
The 57-year-old actress has long wigs for her role, but on Sunday she suffered a hairpiece failure at the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Awards and presidential dinner at the Cannes Film Festival.

Nevertheless, Nicole, who accepted the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Award, showed off her impressive red dress when she posed for the camera at an exclusive event.
Founded 10 years ago, this honor recognizes women who have made a groundbreaking impact on the big screen.
The pro pair quickly laughed at the troublesome encounter and continued poses for the photo

After accepting the honor, Nicole said she will continue to use her platform to fight for ongoing gender equality in the film industry.
She said, “I’m just a defender and I want to keep moving forward with that.”
Elsewhere, the new nude rules for the event may not be acceptable for stunning outfits otherwise.
In recent years, star-studded festivals have attracted more attention for the outfits worn by celebrities guests than the feature film rosters shown at Croisette.
However, the new nude rules, devised for “for good sense,” came into effect when the holiday of French director Amélie Bonnin held one day a ceremony.
According to organizers, the strict move is an attempt to curb the “naked dress” celebrity trend, namely, the red carpet that they are hiding more than they are hiding.
“For reasons of good sense, nudity is prohibited in the red carpet and other areas of the festival,” the Cannes Festival document states.
“Teams that welcome festivals are obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone who does not respect these rules.”

Halle Berry (who will be seen on the Phoenician Scheme Red Carpet on Sunday) has admitted that he was forced to dispose of his clothing plans in accordance with new dress guidelines
The shocking new policy has been featured in a recent festival participation charter and has been released in a series of outlines on expected public action.
It is understood that the event employs a more conservative dress code, where suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening dresses are preferred over headline grab ensembles.
The change forced some participants to make a last-minute U-turn on their outfit choices, including Halleberry.
Speaking at the festival’s first press conference, Halle said:
“Of course I was going to follow the rules so I had to make a pivot. But I think the nude part is a good move too.”
It’s for interpretation that the Star pushed the updated boundaries with her outfit choices, but Heidi Klum’s mission ensemble: Impossible – the final calculation screening is controversial.
This model, 51, wore a chin-drop gown from Ellie Saab’s 1001 season haute couture collection.
The impressive numbers were a bold choice following new guidelines as they showed off the busty display, shoulderless details and thin panels.
The Cannes Film Festival released a dress code the night before. “We’re not allowed to wear huge outfits, especially those with large trains,” he said.

TV personality Farhana Bodhis guaranteed that all eyes were on her… but for the wrong reasons. Her dress included a huge fabric that revolved around her head
Heidi’s dress for Mission Impossible was controversial, but she broke the rules with a flowing pink dress at a Palchill Yohl screening.
The Cannes Film Festival read “Amazing Dresses” and released a dress code. In particular, people with large trains are not allowed.
The actress ignored the rules and wore a wavy pink gown with a long train running behind her.
Meanwhile, Chinese influencer and actress Wang Zhiang Hui arrived at the event in a dramatic, strapless white dress with huge fluffy frills.
Similarly, TV personality Farhana Bodhis Bodhis certainly ensured that all eyes were on her… but for the wrong reasons.
She was walking the red carpet in a sparkly pink dress containing the enormous fabric around her head.
