CANNES, FRANCE: Demi Moore is back in the headlines. The 'Indecent Proposal' actress is making waves this time for her 'crumpled napkin" dress. On her fourth day at the Cannes Film Festival, fashion critics and social media users alike slammed her latest red carpet look with harsh reactions.

The actress wore a custom red gown for the premiere of 'Fatherland' on Thursday night, May 14. Soon after, social media began buzzing over the dramatic outfit.

Just days earlier, Moore had also sparked conversation with another appearance at Cannes. She stepped out in a white gown that put her figure under the spotlight, and netizens did not hold back. Many called her 'toned' physique too thin and even questioned Hollywood’s beauty standards.

Demi Moore's 'crumpled napkin' dress grabs attention at Cannes

The Oscar-nominated 'The Substance' actress, who is also serving as a jury member at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, turned heads with her latest red carpet appearance in a red Gucci gown designed by creative director Demna.

The dress featured folded fabric around the shoulders and a structured neckline, giving the outfit a dramatic look. The material had a crinkled texture throughout, with gathered fabric flowing from the fitted figure into a long column skirt.

To complete the look, Moore paired the outfit with sparkling Chopard accessories, including diamond chandelier earrings, a bracelet, and a diamond ring. Moore paired the gown with black pointed heels that matched the outfit’s dramatic vibe.

The actress also went for soft and subtle makeup, allowing the dress to remain the main focus of the appearance. However, while the outfit succeeded in grabbing attention, it quickly became a target for online trolling.

Social media reacts to Demi Moore’s 'crumpled napkin' dress

Social media reactions to Moore’s latest Cannes look have been brutal, with many users criticizing both the gown and the actress’ styling. One user wrote, “the problem is not the dress. She is not wearing the dress, the dress is wearing HER. She is exuding insecure self-consciousness. Some looks you have to 'own' to be able to pull it off. That's not happening here.”



"Did I just read “crumpled napkin abandoned on the table after Christmas dinner” that’s not nice," another user shares. 



"She looks like an old woman trying to be relevant," another comments. 



"Looks like someone wrapped beef jerky in a Coke can," someone else shares. 



"That's hideous. Surely Gucci could do better," one more user comments.
