No, entrance is free!You do have to buy the single Grande Museo del Duomo pass to visit the other monuments in Piazza del Duomo (climb up the Dome and the bell tower, the Baptistery and the museum). For this reason, you'll at times find a long line to get in into the cathedral.
The Duomo rooftops offer a unique viewpoint and interact with the modern rising city. The terraces are accessible on foot, by climbing around 256 stairs, or with 2 elevators which take visitors up to the first-level walkways in a matter of seconds.
The cathedral forbids entry to anybody wearing sandals, sunglasses, or hats, or anyone with their legs or shoulders exposed. Plunging necklines, skirts, and shorts should altogether be avoided.

Does the dress code apply to the climb as well? As long as you are wearing no shorts and no sleevless tops, you will be ok. Same applies to all religious sites. I see long shorts (to the knee) in the Duomo in Florence and other churches all the time nowadays.

It's highly recommend to buy a ticket - combo, including Duomo Rooftop, Milan Cathedral and the museum. You will skip all the queue, save money and time! The view of Milan City on the top of the Rooftops was breathtaking; at the same time, the beauty of the Duomo Building is spectacular. Worth every minute!
