One Vogue writer shares everything she learned at her first CannesFilmFestival, from the difficult-to-decipher dress codes to how your badge color determines your fate.
For two weeks of the year each spring, the Croisette in Cannes transforms into a veritable parallel universe—one governed by difficult-to-decipher dress codes, where dinners go on until 1 a.m., and the color of your press badge determines everything.
I’d also assumed, for some reason, that all the cinemas would be on the Croisette, but not so—a few are much further out, including Licorne and Cineum , meaning it’s best not to be too ambitious with the number of films you try to see each day. Between two and three films per day, at the most, is usually best.I didn’t even notice the color of my own press badge until I started noticing the color of everyone else’s.
When it comes to footwear, following years of confusion and controversy, the festival is at pains to stress that heels are not compulsory, but “elegant shoes” are required and trainers are banned. I saw a handful of people in dainty flat sandals, though most appeared to be rushing to the red carpet in ballgowns and flip flops before changing into spindly heels .
If you, like me, attempt to cover parties and also wake up in time for the first screenings at 8:30 a.m., sleep can be difficult to come by. At dinners in Cannes, it’s not unheard of for your dessert to arrive just before 1 a.m., and drinks and dancing can continue for hours after that. Without a strategic disco nap—recommended to me by several Cannes regulars—you’re sure to find your eyes straining once you’re in the comfy, air-conditioned bowels of a cinema first thing in the morning.
