Former Swedish lingerie angel Elsa Hosk looked elegant and classy in a cream off-the-shoulder dress with a feather skirt. The appearance of the 1988-born model seemed to quell complaints about the nudity ban by the Cannes organizers. According to the Daily Mail, the strict dress code made the Cannes red carpet the most boring and worst ever.

While the media expressed regret that one of the world’s most glamorous events is no longer there, the audience agreed with the Cannes organizers’ approach, also expressing satisfaction when seeing the stars become discreet, elegant and luxurious. They believe that being sexy does not mean exposing sensitive parts of the body. German supermodel Toni Garrn impressed with the combination of a black lace shirt and wide-leg pants.

Undeniably, the ban forced beauties known for their bold fashion styles like Izabel Goulart to be much more restrained. However, the Brazilian supermodel was still sexy in her outfit that showed off her bare back. The downside was that the color of her outfit was quite dark on the red carpet. Photo: Getty Images.
