- When it comes to fashion, Dakota Johnson has a chic and seemingly effortless style.
- However, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star also regularly experiments with daring looks.
- She's worn sheer dresses, plunging necklines, mismatched shoes, and more.
If you somehow haven't noticed, Dakota Johnson has been everywhere lately.
She made multiple appearances at the Cannes Film Festival in May, has since been photographed all over New York City, and has appeared on multiple late-night talk shows this month.
The 35-year-old actor has, of course, been promoting her film "Materialists," which she stars in alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.
All the while, she's stood out in her signature style: chic, effortless outfits that are also quite bold. Here's a look at the most daring looks she's worn lately, and ones she's donned in the past.
Dakota Johnson's bold red-carpet style can be traced back to her 2012 appearance at a GQ party.
For the event, she wore a long-sleeved lace top over a black bra and tucked the former into high-waisted leather pants.
By 2013, she was already elevating her daring fashion.
At the LACMA Art + Film Gala that year, she wore a black Gucci dress with multiple daring elements. It had netted sleeves up top, golden feathers across her chest, and green fringe on her skirt.
The actor showed the playful side of her style in 2015.
While in New York City, she wore a fuzzy green vest over a tan jumpsuit. And she didn't stop there.
Johnson also wore strappy heels and sunglasses that made the casual outfit look dramatic and glam.
For the UK premiere of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Johnson wore a striking Saint Laurent gown.
The white dress had thin straps and a plunging neckline embellished with crystals.
She then attended the 2015 Venice Film Festival in a backless, blush-colored gown.
The Prada design hugged her body in the front and revealed her tattoos on her back.
Johnson embraced sheer fashion again for the 2015 "Trumbo" premiere.
She walked the red carpet that night in a black velvet gown with sheer sleeves and matching mesh panels across her waist and legs.
Plunging necklines remained a staple of the actor's wardrobe in 2017.
At the "Fifty Shades Darker" premiere that year, Johnson arrived in a shapeless Valentino gown with a V-neckline that plunged below her chest.
A few weeks later, she went full metallic for the Oscars.
Her gold Gucci gown was made from satin. It had a high pleated neckline, long sleeves, and an oversize bow at the waist.
She then stood out at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards in a semi-sheer Gucci gown.
The skin-revealing design was made from black tulle, Swarovski crystals, and recycled brass.
Johnson embraced the "no-shirt" trend at the 2017 Hollywood Film Awards.
She wore a vibrant red suit jacket with no shirt underneath, matching trousers, and a diamond choker. Equally daring were her mismatched heels, which had giant crystals on one shoe but not the other.
In 2018, the actor put a glamorous twist on the sheer trend at the Venice Film Festival.
She wore a strapless Dior gown made from lace with a corset-style bodice and sheer skirt.
She later opted for a dramatic gown at the Marrakech Film Festival.
Johnson wore a Givenchy look with brown fabric surrounding its asymmetrical metallic bodice and a matching silver belt.
Johnson swapped her usual gowns for a bold minidress in 2019.
She walked the red carpet at "The Peanut Butter Falcon" screening in a Saint Laurent design. It featured a large bow as a top, a triangle cutout at the chest, and all-over crystal designs.
Johnson wore one of her most daring and stunning looks at the 2021 Venice Film Festival.
Her silver Gucci gown had a plunging neckline, a see-through bodice and skirt, and crystal fringe.
The see-through corset she wore to "The Lost Daughter" premiere was also bold.
Johnson paired it with leather pants, pointed pumps, and a diamond necklace.
However, she took her daring fashion to another level the next day.
While meeting fans in New York City, Johnson was photographed wearing a cream-colored dress with a high slit in its skirt that almost reached her hips.
In November 2021, Johnson attended a fashion show in a fringe minidress.
Her Gucci frock was held together by sparkling belts strapped across her chest, and matched her Gucci-logo tights.
She wore Gucci again in December 2021. The look was even more eye-catching than her last.
She wore pink satin pants — they were so wide they resembled a skirt — and a cropped, crystal-covered top that was sleeveless with a deep V-neckline.
At the 2022 Met Gala, Johnson wore a see-through catsuit made from black lace.
The "naked" design from Gucci was covered with long silver fringe and delicate sparkles.
To kick off 2023, Johnson wore her own version of a Canadian tuxedo.
The Magda Butrym look included a denim bustier, a matching trench coat, and baggy jeans.
She went the opposite direction in May that year.
For a Gucci runway show, Johnson wore black lingerie underneath a see-through slip dress and monogrammed coat.
In 2024, Johnson wore the most sheer gown of her career.
At the "Madame Web" premiere, Johnson sported a custom chainmail gown from Gucci that sparkled in the light. It was sleeveless, plunged at the neckline, and see-through.
Though the gown did appear to have a small lining, it matched the actor's skin tone perfectly and created the illusion that she was only wearing the crystal links.
Johnson is still staying loyal to sheer clothes in 2025.
In early June, she was photographed walking around New York City in a maroon bodysuit beneath a black tulle dress.
The latter had long sleeves, a wrapped neckline, and a flared skirt, making for a classic silhouette. However, it was entirely see-through.
