The Cannes Film Festival has today announced a new rule for this year’s event: No nudity on the red carpet. It comes after a flurry of very revealing outfits in recent years - like Natasha Poly at last year’s Emilia Perez premiere. Picture: Marc Piasecki/FilmMagic

The new Cannes dress code reads: “Nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.” What that means for see-through dresses like Kendall Jenner’s 2018 effort is anyone’s guess. Picture: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty

So what happens if people rock up in racy outfits like Bella’s this year? Will they be tazered by security? Picture: Andreas Rentz/Getty Images

We wonder if the new nudity ban is a result of Kanye and Bianca Censori’s full-frontal stunt at the Grammys in February. Picture: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP

The X-rated display had red carpet watchers wondering if anyone would try and top it - perhaps Cannes organisers thought it best to issue a pre-emptive ban. Picture: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty
