Showbiz red carpets are known for exhibiting the very best in style and glamour from celebrities, but oftentimes, it must be done within the confines of established rules.<\/p>\n

The prestigious Cannes Film Festival imposed a ban on sheer gowns and long trains at the festival in 2025.<\/p>\n

However, when 63-year-old Demi Moore arrived at the soir\u00e9e this year, she appeared to wink at these regulations with her dress.<\/p>\n

Organizers reserve the right to bar attendees who violate the rules from screenings and press events for the remainder of the festival, and Moore may very well face these repercussions.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Catwoman actress Halle Berry was made to rework her wardrobe at the last minute to fit the festival\u2019s then newly updated dress code.<\/p>\n

Serving as a member of the Cannes<\/a> jury, Berry had originally planned to wear a custom, show-stopping maroon gown by Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta.<\/p>\n

The dress featured an excessively voluminous skirt and a dramatic train, which Berry traded for a vertically striped silk organza trapeze dress by Jacquemus.<\/p>\n

Moore, who is a member of this year\u2019s jury alongside Irish-Ethiopian actress Ruth Negga, Belgian director and screenwriter Laura Wandel, Scottish screenwriter Paul Laverty, Chilean director and screenwriter Diego C\u00e9spedes, and others, steered clear of making such adjustments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While she received a warm welcome from photographers on the red carpet upon arrival, it remains to be seen if Cannes will make any significant decision based on her fashion moment soon.<\/p>\n

Demi Moore\u2019s Cannes outing also reignited the conversation about her strikingly slender frame<\/p>\n

Netizens, however, disagreed, highlighting her slim figure and making her arms a major talking point.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeautiful dress, but she is too skinny<\/a>,\u201d one wrote, while another added, \u201cAt this point, it\u2019s painful to watch. I hope she\u2019s not sick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted my arms to never look like that,\u201d quipped a third.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arms always tell the truth. Can\u2019t put Botox<\/a> in them,\u201d a fourth noted.<\/p>\n

Many concluded she was using O**mpic, the medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, which gained popularity in recent years for its weight loss benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I see is O**mpic,\u201d said one. Another went so far as to label her an \u201cO**mpic legend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGet off the O**mpic train and eat something,\u201d advised the next.<\/p>\n

Moore remained unaffected by these conversations and focused on being a film criticADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n

Moore also offered her opinions on AI in the movie industry<\/a>, insisting that new technology should be embraced.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is here, and so to fight it is a battle that we will lose. Finding ways in which we can work with it, I think, is a more valuable path,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Moore opined that there is little to fear for artists concerning the advent of AI because it can \u201cnever replace\u201d where true art comes from \u2014 \u201cthe soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt comes from the spirit of each and every one of us sitting here,\u201d she said<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this is beautiful, I am happy being ugly,\u201d a netizen said about MooreADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n
