The 2026 Cannes Film Festival, one of the world’s biggest cinematic events, will undergo a significant overhaul in the way its red carpet is managed. According to organizers, next year’s festival will adopt a brand-new procedure for laying the carpet, departing from a tradition that has lasted for decades.
Instead of the usual red carpet rollout, Cannes 2026 will introduce a method described as ‘different’. The change aims to offer a novel experience for stars, guests, and viewers following the event.
Specific details of the new method have not yet been officially disclosed, but industry insiders predict it may combine modern technology with artistic elements, revitalizing Cannes’ iconic red carpet symbol.
The annual Cannes Film Festival takes place every May in the coastal city of Cannes, France. The event is not only a platform for honoring outstanding cinematic works but also a global focal point for fashion and popular culture.
