Times when Celebrities broke the Unspoken Shoe Rule at Cannes Film Festival
Updated: May 15, 2024 18:30 IST
The Cannes Film Festival is said to have an unspoken rule about the kind of footwear allowed on the red carpet. According to this rule, women are only allowed to wear high heels at the events held as a part of the Festival. While no one has officially confirmed this, nor is it a part of any official rule book, many incidents in the past have shone light on it’s existence. Celebrities have also taken a stance against this rule by going barefoot or wearing footwear which may be considered inappropriate for the event.
