The 2025 Cannes Film Festival has come to a close, leaving us with a plethora of stunning red carpet looks to admire. Despite a last-minute dress code update that banned nudity, volume, and trains, celebrities still managed to dazzle on the Croisette with their fashion choices that pushed boundaries and broke rules.
