“Stop the Death Penalty: The Story Behind the Controversial Dress at Cannes Film Festival”

2023-05-31 21:41:12

The festival of world filmmakers, the Cannes International Film Festival, closed last weekend.

It is said that a female model came out wearing a lasso-shaped dress on the red carpet and attracted attention.

A woman in a black dress appeared on the Cannes red carpet.

However, if you look closely at the dress, the neck part is in the form of a noose.

At the hem of the dress, there is a phrase written in English, “Stop the death penalty.”

This is the dress worn by the Iranian American model, Mahlaga Jaberi.

After the festival, Javeri posted a video on social media calling for the abolition of the death penalty, saying, “Dedicated to the people of Iran.”

In fact, it is said that more than 200 women were executed in Iran this year alone.

When the dress became controversial, some critics said, “Isn’t it trying to promote a fashion brand by bringing in the Iran issue?”

In response, Jarberry said that she wore the dress to get real media attention and that “the meaning of the noose, which symbolizes the hanging, was well conveyed.”
