The last thing you expect at the Cannes Film Festival would be a row about high heels. But it is apparently a stipulation for guests mounting the famous red carpet that suitable footwear be worn, including high heels for women.
A security guard charged with policing the steps has been refusing entry to some women because their heels were not high enough. After protests the organisers at first denied any problem, then admitted that the guards had been "over zealous". Actress Emily Blunt sighed "and we thought there had been progress on equality".
