Cannes Film Festival high heel protester Kristen Stewart made another statement tonight against the festival's controversial red carpet flats ban. She posed on the carpet for tonight's Blackkklansman screening in a pair of black Christan Louboutin stilettos. Then when the main photos were done, she proceeded to take the heels off in front of the photographers and climb up the red carpet steps with her bare feet. The message: K.Stew still doesn't give a f*ck about Cannes' rules.

She also told a reporter the week before that 2016 protest that the Cannes' policy was sexist. "Things have to change immediately. It has become really obvious that if [a man and I] were walking the red carpet together and someone stopped me and said, 'Excuse me, young lady, you're not wearing heels. You cannot come in.' Then [I'm going to say], 'Neither is my friend. Does he have to wear heels?' It can work both ways. It's just like you simply cannot ask me to do something that you are not asking him. I get the black-tie thing but you should be able to do either versionflats or heels."
Stewart isn't the only actress to speak out against the festival's rules on women's attire. Emily Blunt also called out the festival's policy back in 2015. "I think everyone should wear flats, to be honest," she told a reporter then. "We shouldn't wear high heels anymore. That's just my point of view. I prefer to wear Converse sneakers."

There was even a woman who had had part of her foot amputated who was initially denied entrance because she wasn't wearing high heels.
Maybe you are right. I am just not seeing anything saying that is the official policy, and I do see the leadership of the festival saying it isn't. But it could be one of those unspoken rules.

(23,321 posts)I don't see a handrail where she's walking, so "barefoot" may be the safest way to navigate the stairs.
She's carrying the "proper" footwear, so I assume she will put them on at some point in her walk.
