Film Festival’s latest dress code regulations, and his reaction to the official rules is stealing the spotlight on social media.Vir Das' stand on Cannes dress codecheck out the post here:

On May 14, Das took to his Instagram account to share a humorous post poking fun at the festival’s recently announced restriction on 'naked dresses'. The policy, which aims to limit revealing attire and garments with long trains that obstruct movement, has sparked a flurry of reactions online.He took a dig at the organisers for the unusual rule released prior to the festival and stated that he had decided not to attend the Cannes Film Festival.“It is with deep regret that I announce I will no longer be attending the Cannes Film Festival because of the new red carpet rules. For multiple generations, nude voluminous gowns with large trains have been culturally specific to the comedy community.

This year I had planned a dark beige, 78-foot-long, off-shoulder piece that moved finely into sleeves that covered my wrists, but dipped lower and gently showcased the heart of my scrotum. But if I cannot wear a Gota original, I refuse to let our culture be shunted. I was planning on taking multiple selfies of cultural significance. But someone has to take a stand. I wish the festival all the best,” he wrote.Actor Prateik Patil and Tahira Kashyap Khurrana also reacted to his post with laughing emojis.Cannes policy The official policy of Cannes stated: “Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted.”This isn’t the first time Cannes’ fashion rules have caused confusion or controversy. In previous years, women attendees were reportedly required to wear high heels — a regulation that drew criticism, especially after stars like Julia Roberts and Kristen Stewart publicly defied it.
