Cannes is anything but classy. It is mostly a cesspit of drunk celebrities, self-celebrating and doing things I do not want to think about. ? They actually told off an amputee for not wearing heels – that demonstrates their level of class.
Well, regardless of how classy or not certain individuals act, it’s a important event for fashion and someplace where most people would want to look their best. I just dont like how people are turning it into a sexist issue when every nice restaurant in the world requires gentlemen to wear a jacket but not ladies, yet nobody complains that is sexist? Of course, there may have been certain staff members going overboard on a power trip, but I don’t think it’s wrong of the organization to have a general dress code in place and the article did say they have been known for their strict dress code for ages. Unless you were there, nobody actually knows how it was, the media always exaggerates stories. Like I said, if it bothers you that much, don’t attend.- The rule is being perceived as sexist because it is. Forcing women to wear a shoe that attracts sexual attention by making their legs longer, butt rounder is different to forcing men to wear a suit jacket. There is nothing classless about low heels or flats, just a different style – isn’t that what fashion is about, being different?
- I can tell you as a woman that I don’t wear heels to be more sexually attractive to men. Most women don’t wear heels and dresses for men, they wear it for themselves or other women. Suit jackets and heels are two different types of fashion for men and women, just because some men perceive heels as sexual doesn’t make it sexist for women to wear heels and not so for men to wear jackets.
- I wasn’t referring to why you wore heels. Many women wear certain things for different reasons, obviously. In general high heels are considered sexy. Asking women/men to dress a certain way is NOT sexist. Forcing women to dress in a way that sexualizes their body IS sexist. Everyone deserves a choice. This rule is like forcing women to wear push-up bras.. which I’m guessing will be enforced next year
- My opinion is that the rule isn’t sexist. I’m sure they “forced” men to wear certain styles as well and that info wasn’t publicized in the media. That’s my opinion and you are of course free to have your own belief and opinion however that is your opinion, NOT fact. People are so quick to cry discrimination these days.
- I don’t think anyone is crying discrimination here. People are simply expressing their opinions and disappointment. Like you said, we’re all entitled to our opinions so let’s not shame others for sharing a different view. It’s one rule for men(smart), another for women(sexy). That is why no one cares about the dress code for men.
- I think the people such as Emily Blunt certainly are, like I said before if they are so against it they are free to boycott the event and not attend just as the organizers are free to put in place whatever dress code they desire. Opinions are just that, opinions, not facts. You might think it’s sexist, others don’t.
