We revisit some of the best red carpet looks of Dakota Johnson, who proves that she’s always had that celebrity style in her DNA

Dakota Johnson is having her moment. With Celine Song’s Materialists hitting Asian cinemas this August, all eyes are on the actress once again. But red carpets have long been her natural habitat. As a third-generation Hollywood royalty (her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, was an Alfred Hitchcock muse while her mother, Melanie Griffith, was a staple of romantic comedies in the Eighties), Johnson was born for glamour.

We can describe her signature aesthetic—achieved with the help of seasoned stylist Kate Young—as streamlined and refined with a touch of bohemian ease. She tends to lean towards brands such as Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Yves Saint Laurent, owning her looks with a kind of elegance that is a hundred per cent her’s.

Here, we take a quick look at some of Dakota Johnson’s memorable red carpet moments.
