#SHOWBIZ: Cannes Film Festival: Zhao Yingzi ejected for 'overtly sexy' dress
According to a report by ET Today, Zhao's dress was deemed a violation of the official dress code established by the Cannes Film Festival organisers.
A viral photo shows Yingzi in a semi-transparent silver gown that seemingly exposes much of her body, including her chest and midriff, with only sparse embellishments providing minimal coverage.
The festival organisers are known to enforce strict rules regarding guest appearances.
"Full-body exposure is not permitted at red carpet events. The organisers reserve the right to deny entry to anyone who does not comply with the rules," stated the organisers of the 78th Cannes Film Festival.
Previously, the organisers had reportedly issued a reminder on their official website, urging guests to maintain modesty in their appearance throughout the entire festival area, not just on the red carpet.
The announcement specifically prohibited "flashy" clothing that could disrupt the comfort and movement of other attendees.
Consequently, most guests opted for more modest and conservative attire compared to previous editions, demonstrating respect for the newly introduced regulations.
The 78th Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to take place from May 13 to 24.

HK actress Myolie Wu dispels rumours with family vacation in the Maldives
Myolie Wu shares a photo of her family of five on social media on July 23. Photo: Myolie Wu/Instagram Hong Kong actress Myolie Wu is vacationing with her family in the Maldives and, in the process, dispelling any lingering rumours that her marriage is on the rocks. 'Our annual date with the ocean, love this paradise!' the 45-year-old wrote on social media on July 23, sharing several photos of herself and her family at a lagoon resort. The actress, who recently starred in Chinese TV series A Better Life (2025), is married to British-born businessman Philip Lee, 52. They have three sons, aged four to seven. The five of them were all dressed in shades of blue in the photos, with Wu resting her hands on her husband's shoulder in one picture. She added on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu: 'Although the weather isn't great, it's a sunny day as long as we are together!' Lee was in the news in March when he was spotted by a Hong Kong magazine hugging several women at a pub while celebrating his birthday. He took to Instagram to address the report, saying that he was a 'big hugger'. Wu did not react publicly to the incident for a while. Neither did she appear in the Instagram photos posted by Lee of their youngest son's birthday in April, raising speculation of marital woes. The actress broke her silence in May, telling the media that it was a misunderstanding. 'In fact, those who were present that night were close friends and relatives,' she said. 'The two ladies who were photographed hugging my husband are friends whom I have known for many years, and their husbands were also present.' Wu added: 'My husband hugged both men and women. It was normal social interaction with his friends.' Referring to her marriage, she said: 'There are absolutely no problems in our relationship.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network View this post on Instagram A post shared by Myolie Wu (@myoliemyolie)

#SHOWBIZ: Actor Peter Lai, 75, searching for soul mate, estranged from son
HONG KONG: Veteran lyricist and actor Peter Lai, 75, recently opened up about his personal life in an interview with 8Days. The publication reported that Peter has a son from his previous marriage, which ended in 1992. He described his son as someone who "mooches off the elderly," revealing he had been helping him clear credit card debt amounting to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for about two years. Peter only managed to settle all his son's debts last month. He complained that his son ignores him and treats him "like a stranger." Peter confessed he is now looking for a soulmate for companionship, openly stating his intention to marry. "Lee Lung Kei can do it, why can't I?" he remarked, referring to veteran actor Lee Lung Kei, 73, whose 36-year-old Chinese fiancée made headlines last year after being arrested for overstaying in Hong Kong. When asked if he was concerned about his son's future after he passed away, Peter calmly replied: "Let him fend for himself. When I'm gone, he can live under the bridge; he's not going to die, he can apply for public housing! He'll survive." Peter is renowned for co-writing the lyrics to many popular Cantopop songs in the 1970s and 80s alongside Sam Hui. These tracks include Leslie Cheung's 'Monica' and Sam's 'Susie of Tsim Sha Tsui'. In the 1990s, Peter went on to star in numerous TVB dramas until his contract with the broadcaster concluded in 2012.
