Dakota Johnson’s bold look
Styled by Kate Young, Johnson opted for a plunging, form-fitting gown featuring a prominent cutout extending towards her stomach, flowing sleeves and a mermaid-style skirt.
The dramatic ensemble was completed with a long train.
The actor paired the look with Messika jewellery, while her newly darkened brunette hair added an edgier touch to her overall appearance.
