Actress Dakota Johnson lit up the Red Sea International Film Festival on Friday, December 5, 2025, striding onto the carpet with a blend of timeless elegance and modern edge. Her choice for the evening was a breathtaking sheer white lace gown by Chloé, which she wore to the Women in Cinema event. The gown, adorned with intricate floral lace and sculptural ruffles, showcased a dramatic peplum-like volume at the hips. This created an ethereal silhouette that was both modest and daring, thanks to its diaphanous skirt and plunging neckline.
Johnson's accessories enhanced the dress's refined palette. She opted for minimalist white heels from Paris Texas and added a touch of sparkle with Chopard jewels. Complemented by her signature fringe, loose waves, and glowing makeup, Dakota's look was the epitome of understated glamour.
"I've been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them," Dakota shared candidly in a recent Vogue Germany interview.
This appearance continues Dakota's successful collaboration with stylist Kate Young, renowned for pushing fashion boundaries with the 'naked dress' trend. Together, they've turned transparency into an art form, ensuring it looks elevated rather than simply provocative. Addressing claims that her fashion choices might be "too sexy," Dakota confidently stated, "I really don't care."
With a stellar year both on-screen in films like "The Materialists" and "Splitsville" and off-screen on the red carpet, Dakota is not slowing down. Her penchant for daring ensembles has been a highlight, whether in elegant Gucci pieces or a classic little black dress. At The Hollywood Reporter's Annual Women in Entertainment Gala, Dakota opted for a classic black Khaite dress, paired stylishly with Jett D'Orsay Pumps, onyx jewelry, and a silk satin crossbody by Métier for a chic and gothic vibe.
