Dakota Johnson graced the red carpet at the premiere of her newest film, Daddio, on Monday evening, June 10, during the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. As a co-producer of the film, she joined the cast and creative team for the event.
In Daddio, Dakota Johnson stars opposite Sean Penn. She plays a young woman who unexpectedly starts a conversation with a taxi driver after returning from JFK airport. The film will be released in theaters on June 27.
Embracing Sheer Trend Dressing in Lingerie-Inspired Gucci Dress
Dakota Johnson’s recent red carpet appearances have prominently featured sheer outfits, and she continued this trend at the latest event. She embraced a bold style, elevating the lingerie-as-outerwear look with her attire.

I love the concept of sheer dressing done well at the right time and place. However, Dakota’s ensemble for this event misses the mark. It feels a touch underdressed while simultaneously trying too hard to be trendy. It falls short of the typical charm and elegance that I have come to expect from her red carpet looks.
For the occasion, the 34-year-old American actress wore a translucent Gucci dress in dark navy blue. The piece was from the Italian luxury fashion house’s Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection, which debuted on the runway during Milan Fashion Week last February.
Designed by Gucci’s creative director, Sabato De Sarno, the dress was part of his second women’s collection, prominently featuring vibrant colors, tailored pieces, and lingerie-inspired designs.
The slip-style midi dress showcased a cut-out bustier with intricate, lingerie-inspired lace detailing across the bust.

This design included a see-through panel on the bodice, offering a glimpse of her midriff. Her attire was supported by delicate spaghetti straps, adding to its elegant yet daring appeal.
The slinky ensemble transitioned from the bustier into a flowing skirt of a see-through blue crepe de chine. The skirt had a romantic length, just grazing above her ankles, and featured a daring thigh-high slit in the back that peeked at her derriere.
Underneath the flowy outfit, Dakota sported a matching pair of lacy briefs. This is where I find some appreciation for her look.
Unlike many sheer dresses on the red carpet that expose plain thongs, the Ben and Kate star’s undergarments were designed in the same lace fabric as the dress itself. It gave a touch of thoughtful coordination.
Infusing a Chic Bohemian Luxe Twist with Statement Accessories
Known for adding her unique touch, Dakota Johnson consistently does well taking the runway look and making it her own, and this recent festival appearance was no exception.
Sabato De Sarno’s original vision for the dress featured bold lime green pumps, a black choker, and a matching blue bag. However, the 21 Jump Street actress offered a simpler, Bohemian chic interpretation, which I find refreshing.

Dakota, collaborating with her longtime stylist Kate Young, whose A-list clientele includes Julianne Moore, Nina Dobrev, and Michelle Williams, topped off her look with sleek, chic black Gucci sandals. This choice is a clever way to showcase the collection of small tattoos on her foot.
The sandals, crafted from black patent leather, featured open toes with two horizontal straps across the toes and thin straps crisscrossing around the front of the ankles. The high stiletto heels gave her an extra few inches, enhancing her elegant posture.

However, the true statement piece of her look is the black feather necklace by Tiffany & Co. It was a vintage Elsa Peretti design, the famous “Bean” featuring a large green jade stone nestled in a handwoven silk setting with a gold rondelle and a long tassel that cascaded down to her navel.
I like how this piece, combined with the dress, evokes the boho vibe of the early 2010s.
The Madame Web actress further accentuated the color scheme with a sculptural Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti ring crafted from 18-carat gold and adorned with a sizable Nephrite stone. This subtle detail tied the whole look together.
Signature Beauty Look for the Finishing Touches
Thankfully, Dakota Johnson, who is busy filming Materialists, kept her signature beauty look for this event, ensuring the overall vibe remained firmly rooted in the 2020s.

Makeup artist Georgie Eisdell went for a natural look, highlighting her gorgeous blue eyes. Her makeup featured sultry peach tones with a smoky effect, black mascara, a hint of plum blush, and a soft, matching rose-colored lip.
Mark Townsend styled her hair. He kept things simple, letting her natural long brown locks cascade down her chest with a slight wave. The signature front bangs framed her face perfectly, and a matching nude manicure and pedicure completed the picture of effortless elegance.
