by going barefoot on the carpet—the festival’s strict dress shoe rules evidently still apply to cultural wear. It’s an approach that seems outdated at best and discriminatory at worst. After being turned away on the red carpet, one of Redvers’s French-speaking colleaguestried to argue with security that the Cannes dress code should have exceptions for such cultural pieces. But security didn’t budge, and they actually got quite aggressive with the producer.

The Cannes Film Festival deeming moccasins as not “formal” enough is ironic, given the shoes are in fact a special-occasion piece within Indigenous culture. It’s hard to pinpoint when exactly they were first designed, as numerousacross North America created and designed them before colonization. Today, they are widely known as a soft-soled style—often embellished with beadwork, quillwork, or embroidery—that can be worn as a house slipper.
