Dakota Johnson Unfazed by Criticism of Her Revealing Dresses
Dakota Johnson isn’t ready to abandon the naked dress trend anytime soon.
In a recent cover story for Vogue Germany, Johnson, 36, shared her thoughts on the sheer fashion trend that’s dominating Hollywood red carpets, published on Tuesday, October 21.
When questioned if she ever feels that a revealing outfit is “too sexy,” Johnson responded, “I really don’t care.”
She further explained, “I’ve had the chance to wear some of the most stunning dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them.” The Verity actress noted that while not every naked dress looks “good” on her, she will wear the ones she loves.
“If I find a beautiful dress that I feel comfortable in, of course I want to wear it! And it’s enjoyable to wear a sexy dress,” she remarked.
Johnson revealed that her mother, actress Melanie Griffith, “was very open about the topic of bodies,” instilling confidence in her as she grew up.
“She taught us how to care for our bodies and love them, emphasizing that our bodies are beautiful,” Johnson elaborated. “And I think that’s incredibly important for a young girl because we’re constantly told we’re not enough.”
She added, “If the woman you look up to most doesn’t tell you from a young age that you’re perfect, smart, special, strong, and brave, it can really affect you. It’s challenging to learn that self-love later on. That was an immense gift she gave me.”
Recently, Johnson has been at the forefront of bold fashion choices, showcasing several daring outfits at high-profile events. In February 2024, she amazed onlookers in a custom Gucci dress at the Madame Web premiere in Los Angeles.
The glimmering design featured a sheer silhouette, a plunging neckline, and thin straps, with Johnson wearing only a flesh-toned bodysuit beneath. She added sparkle to her look with a dazzling choker complete with a dangling gem.
For her glam, she opted for smoky eyeshadow, long lashes, rosy cheeks, and pink lips. Her brunette hair was styled straight with a center part and bangs elegantly blown out across her forehead.
Just one day after her breakup from Chris Martin in June 2025, she showcased her figure in a sheer outfit while out in New York City.
Her outfit featured a wholly see-through black tulle dress that flared out at her calves, with a red bodysuit underneath that had a strapless neckline and high-cut legs. Johnson completed her look with a brown leather Gucci purse and pointed-toe heels. (Sources mentioned that Johnson and Martin, 48, dated for eight years and were engaged before their split, as reported by Us Weekly last March.)
Not long ago, Johnson flaunted her curves at the Kering Caring for Women dinner during New York Fashion Week. Her outfit showcased a sheer bodice adorned with delicate black lace that gracefully covered her figure. Beneath, she wore a strapless black bra and matching thong.
Johnson kept the look simple with no jewelry and opted for an elegant updo. Her makeup included a hint of eyeliner, mascara, and glossy lips.
