Helena Christensen showed off her enviable figure on Sunday as she stepped out on day six of the Cannes Film Festival in a plunging blue dress.

The model posed up a storm in her laid-back look as she enjoyed the sunny weather at the French Riviera. 

Helena’s look, however, still relatively conservative following the festival’s ban on risqué outfits and stretched down to the model’s ankles.

She cut a casually stylish figure outside the Hotel Martinez, pairing the dress with black flip-flops, a pink bag and oversized brown sunglasses. 

The look was finished by her decision to pin back her hair, creating a cool look for the summer sunshine.  

The Victoria’s Secret model has been enjoying the festival since Wednesday, attending the opening ceremony and screening of Quentin Dupieux’s new comedy film, Le Deuxieme Acte.

On Friday, Helena attended the screening of Bono’s new film, Bono: Stories of Surrender.

Her outfit then was even more show-stopping and consisted of a long, pink cocktail dress and oversized featured scarf.

This too was in-keeping with the new modesty rules that have dramatically changed the looks showcased at Cannes in 2025. 

Devised for ‘the sake of decency,’ the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.

‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,’ states a Cannes festival document.

‘The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.’

The new rules come amid increased controversy caused by naked dresses this year, with Bianca Censori notably causing outrage at the 2025 Grammy Awards by wearing a completely see-through garment.

The shocking outfit was initially hidden by a fur coat, which Bianca removed at the request of her husband Kanye West.

However, it is not just the stars who are expected to cover up at this year’s event, so too are attendees.

The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter – released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. 

Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed seven day schedule in Cannes.

It’s understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline-grabbing ensembles.

Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, ‘with or without a heel’, will also be permitted.

While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.
