Kristen Stewart ditches high heels to go barefoot at Cannes
The actress seemed to be protesting against the red carpet dress code at the film festival.
Now it seems Kristen Stewart, a member of this year’s jury at the film festival, has flouted the ban on flat shoes – by instead going barefoot on the red carpet.

She was apparently not sanctioned for taking off her heels.

Last year, Stewart – who’s been known to wear trainers with dresses on the red carpet – spoke about the event’s fashion rules.

Lars von Trier has officially ended his Cannes exile with a divisive film that viewers on Twitter said have sparked walkouts.
On Monday, the controversial Danish director walked the red carpet at the Palais for the world premiere of The House that Jack Built, playing out of competition, marking his first appearance at the festival since Melancholia in 2011, when his jokes in the press conference about “sympathizing with Hitler” led to him getting temporarily banned.
