Dakota Johnson's Best Red Carpet Looks

Dakota Johnson may be the queen of bangs and iconic interview quotes. And her red carpet outfits just add to the bulk of Johnson's contributions to pop culture. Thanks to her Gucci ambassadorship and countless red carpet appearances, the actress has now cemented a strong signature style that's been brewing since she first burst onto the mainstream with her role in the '50 Shades of Grey' franchise.

It's not all Johnson, though. The actress has been working with Hollywood stylist Kate Young, who has also dressed celebs like Selena Gomez and Margot Robbie, for years across all her appearances, from magazine covers to street style. Young once told Vogue that she describes Johnson's style as "classic, minimal, elegant." And we couldn't agree more.

The starlet's effortless and chic red carpet style is a mix of tailored suits, non-traditional gowns, and mini dresses that toe the line between street style and Hollywood glamour. From glimmering gowns to bold red frocks, here are Dakota Johnson's 10 best red carpet looks.

'Daddio' Screening, 2024

Known for her minimalist outfits, Johnson showed off the power of an LBD (that's a little beige dress, by the way!) at a screening of her movie 'Daddio' in June 2024. The Saint Laurent mini dress was styled with barely-there black tights for a fall take on summer fashion with minimal accessories.

'Madame Web' Mexico City Premiere, 2024

Johnson is no stranger to theme dressing. And this scarlet maxi dress by designer Luis Estévez one way she embodied her 'Madame Web' character on the red carpet. The plunging neckline and flowy hem exudes a boho chic vibe that's just right for the trend's 2024 revival.

'Madame Web' Los Angeles Premiere, 2024

If anyone can make an embellished network as a dress, it's Dakota Johnson. The shimmery Gucci dress perfectly contrasts the nude bodysuit underneath, making the case for barely-there dresses on the red carpet.

Look of the day

Vanity Fair Oscars Party, 2022

While Johnson's takes on minimalism are her signature, that does not mean she can't color outside the lines. The actress sported a Gucci feathery sequined gown to the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2022, leaving the ombré hemline number to do all the talking.

Venice Film Festival, 2021

Naked dressing is another signature of Johnson's red carpet-style. The actress wore a silver embellished dress with dramatic fringe sleeves to the Venice Film Festival in 2021. The dress was a party on its own, so Johnson kept the accessories minimal to pare down the extravagant look.

'The Lost Daughter' Premiere, 2021

Johnson's love for lingerie-inspired fashion is also a signature of her red carpet style. This time, she paired a back corset that featured Gucci's iconic logo with high-waist leather pants and simple back pumps. For accessories, a dainty necklace and matching rings provide just the right amount of luxe to this look.

Governors Awards, 2019

Brides, take notes! Johnson's wedding-ready look for the 2019 Governors Awards is a subversive take on bridal dressing. The Brandon Maxwell crop top-and-skirt combo takes an otherwise fancy look into cool territory. True to form, Johnson accessorized the outfit with only a pair of earrings. Less is more.

Venice Film Festival, 2018

Johnson's love of red gowns is perfectly exemplified by the strapless number she wore to the 2018 Venice Film Festival. Her Dior gown's asymmetrical silhouette on the side takes an otherwise traditional column dress into avant-garde territory.

Met Gala, 2017

Johnson is never one to turn down a black dress. The actress stuck to the Met Gala's theme in 2017 with a ruffled Gucci gown with voluptuous sleeves and Cartier jewels to honor designer Rei Kawakubo.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Premiere, 2015

Johnson's love of effortless gowns has been running since she first wowed audiences in her first titular role in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' franchise. For the film's premiere, she opted for a Saint Laurent cream dress with a plunging neckline and silver embellishments. A simple matching clutch was all the accessories she needed.
