One thing to know about Dakota Johnson is that she’s always going to look chic.
Whether she’s walking around New York City, attending the Cannes Film Festival, or posing on a red carpet, her fashion always stands out.
That’s because it’s also often pretty daring. In 2025, she’s worn everything from see-through ensembles to skin-tight sparkles.
Here’s a look at those outfits and everything else she’s worn this year, ranked.
Dakota Johnson played it safe at a Kering event during the Cannes Film Festival in May.
She wore classic black Gucci trousers with sharp pleats, a semi-sheer white blouse, and shiny black loafers from the Italian fashion house.
Though understated, her outfit was expensive. Her shoes cost $1,050, and her pants cost $2,500.
She took the same approach to her fashion for the Women in Entertainment Gala in December.
She wore a chic $2,980 black midi dress from Khaite on the event’s red carpet, which highlighted her accessories.
The latter included $1,140 haircalf heels from the clothing brand, a $2,350 Métier bag, $695 Sophie Buhai earrings, and two onyx rings from the same designer, which cost $2,050 each.
Inside the gala, she wore a white trench coat with thick buckles on top.
Her New York City street style in early June was simple.
She wore a sheer Balenciaga bodysuit on one occasion, but covered it with a leather duster jacket.
She also sported black Balenciaga jeans, $990 Khaite wedges, The Row’s $2,600 Mira clutch, an assortment of Yvonne Leon diamond jewelry, and $590 sunglasses from Khaite’s collaboration with Oliver Peoples.
The actor looked relaxed and casual at one Cannes Film Festival event.
She wore a $5,200 sleeveless black Gucci dress with a deeply scooped neckline and a crystal hook across the back for the May event.
The outfit was pretty plain, but elevated thanks to her $1,120 Gucci heels, diamond stud earrings, and a $12,750 Boucheron ring.
Her shoes stole the show at the Zurich Film Festival in September.
Johnson wore a Ferragamo fit that day to deliver an acting masterclass. It included a $1,750 scarf-embellished top, a miniskirt, and sheer tights.
Her $2,900 boots, though, were the most daring piece of the ensemble. Designed by Yves Saint Laurent, the leather shoes featured 6.1-inch block heels and platforms across the toes.
Johnson added a bold touch to a simple after-party outfit in May.
She arrived at the event in a custom YSL slip dress with an orange floral print. The garment was understated by Johnson’s standards, though her jewelry was anything but.
She wore $115,000 Boucheron earrings made from diamonds and white gold. The statement pieces were shaped like leaves.
The “Materialists” star wore a glamorous look with a few sharp elements at the 2025 Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
Her dress, a $2,450 piece from Mugler, was strapless with a plunging V-shaped neckline and a long, ankle-length skirt.
To complement the gown’s daring cut, Johnson wore a diamond necklace with an emerald charm from Roberto Coin and a matching emerald ring.
She completed the look for the July event with $795 Gianvito Rossi pumps.
In August, she wore a short, sparkling dress with unique shoes.
Johnson mostly wore gowns throughout 2025, but she made an exception for the “Splitsville” premiere after-party.
That night, she wore a green Gucci minidress covered in sequins, paired with the fashion house’s pointed black pumps.
Her accessories were quietly daring at the beginning of June.
While walking around New York City, Johnson was photographed wearing a $98 semi-sheer Commando bodysuit beneath a yellow velvet jacket from Khaite.
She also wore simple blue jeans, $990 Khaite wedges in black, and dark Gucci sunglasses.
The daring aspect came in the form of her jewelry, which retails for a combined total of over $140,000. Johnson wore a $10,430 Ophelia Eve emerald necklace and a $130,200 Sophie Bille Brahe piece.
Johnson strayed from her typical color palette at the Governors Awards.
Instead, she wore a strapless, seafoam gown from Valentino. The floor-length piece was crafted from textured fabric and featured a gathered waistline.
Though its silhouette was straightforward, its color was a bold choice for the actor, which paid off.
She completed the look with jewels from Jessica McCormack.
You couldn’t miss her in August when she stepped onto the “Splitsville” red carpet.
She wore a strapless, form-fitting gown from Gucci in a striking silver color.
It contrasted her dark hair and was accessorized to perfection with statement earrings and bangles, all from Roberto Coin.
In August, Johnson mixed vintage flair and modern design at Vogue World.
Her Valentino gown had a halter neckline, a black mesh panel beneath its beaded top, and a floor-length skirt.
The dress was eye-catching and intricate in design.
She experimented with bright colors and dramatic jewels on the Cannes red carpet.
For the “Highest 2 Lowest” premiere, Johnson walked the red carpet in a strapless Gucci gown covered with pink fringe. The vibrant color choice was a departure from her usual neutral fashion.
She also wore massive Boucheron earrings crafted from diamonds, which sparkled in the light.
Johnson made a million-dollar statement at the end of May.
She looked stunning in a strapless maxi gown from Ferragamo, which retails for $1,850, and pumps from the same brand.
The star of the show, however, was her $1.2 million Roberto Coin necklace. The eye-catching piece was crafted from diamonds, sapphires, and white gold, and it matched her $25,000 blue ring.
She wore the pieces shortly after being named the Italian jewelry brand’s latest ambassador.
She brought cutouts back at the Red Sea International Film Festival in December.
Alessandra Rich designed her cutout dress with a strapless, plunging V-shaped neckline. It also had two waist cutouts and a daring slit in the middle of its skirt.
Just as bold as the dress was Johnson’s selection of jewelry. She wore sparkling rings, earrings, and layered necklaces that covered part of her collarbones and chest.
The “Materialists” star opted for a skin-hugging gown at the Kering Women in Motion dinner.
Gucci custom-made her sleeveless gown, which was semi-sheer and lined with a strapless leotard.
She paired the dress with an updo hairstyle and $56,000 Boucheron hoop earrings.
Her red-carpet gown for the “Saturday Night Live” anniversary special showed even more skin.
Designed by Gucci, the black gown had one long sleeve, an asymmetrical neckline, and fabric hanging down the front and back of her body.
On the sides, though, it was only held together by the brand’s signature horsebit hooks. The latter detail revealed her legs and hips as she walked.
Johnson took plunging necklines to another level for an appearance on “The Tonight Show.”
Her Ferragamo ensemble included a $1,490 asymmetrical miniskirt and a $2,900 blazer with a curved neckline that dipped beneath her chest.
She completed the look with sheer black tights and the brand’s $980 pumps.
The black gown she wore to the New York “Materialists” premiere had a daring structure.
From the front, her halter-neck Gucci gown almost looked conservative. Its silk fabric wrapped around her neck and extended into a loose-fitting top.
From the side, however, you could see the gown’s daring backless and sideless cut.
She seemingly wore her version of a “revenge dress” for a New York City outing in June.
After a rumored breakup between Johnson and Chris Martin, the actor was photographed wearing a $775 tulle-wrapped bodysuit and a matching $1,366 sheer skirt from Nensi Dojaka.
The outfit was dramatic, fashionable, and undoubtedly one of her most daring looks of the year.
For another appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival, the actor wore layers of white lace.
Chloé designed her billowing gown, which had short tiered sleeves, a deep V-neckline, and a floor-length skirt. The latter and the bodice were both see-through.
The outfit was daring, as is Johnson’s signature, but it was also feminine and timeless.
One of Johnson’s most memorable outfits of the year was worn at the Zurich Film Festival in September.
That outfit, of course, was her blue Gucci ball gown. It featured a lace bodice with long sleeves, a high neckline, and a full tulle skirt.
The dress was as vibrant as it was daring. Johnson wore nothing beneath its see-through top.
Johnson wore one of the most see-through gowns of her career that same month.
She arrived at Kering’s Caring for Women dinner wearing a high-neck, long-sleeved dress crafted from sparkling floral lace. The form-fitting Gucci piece sat atop two pieces of black lingerie.
