It was a controversial move, as Cannes is known for a"no flats" rule for the red carpet — a dress code that undeniably affects more women than men.

Festival reps have called the rule a "rumor," and yet in 2015, a group of middle-aged women, some reportedly with medical issues, were denied entry into a screening of Carol when they showed up in flats. That shot off a flurry of criticism from celebs like Emily Blunt. Julia Roberts protested the unofficial rule by walking the Cannes carpet barefoot the following year.

Despite the Cannes fashion police, Twitter empathized with ya gurl Stewart.
