The actor revealed a black Fleur du Mal bra and brief beneath an off-white lace dress by the CFDA-nominated New York designer.
Dakota Johnson embraced sheer styling at the London screening of Verity, extending her affinity for naked dressing into fall territory. The actor appeared at the first splashy promotional event for the upcoming Michael Showalter thriller, which is set to release on October 2 and features Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett among its cast. Because the film is expected to generate additional red carpet premieres throughout the month, this evening served as an early opportunity for Johnson to set the tone, and she did so with a striking fashion choice.
For the occasion, she selected an off-white lace gown by New York designer Colleen Allen, distinguished by a layered collar neckline. The standout element, however, was the completely sheer fabrication, which left visible the black Fleur du Mal bra and brief she wore beneath.
Johnson is well versed in this aesthetic. A few years prior, she arrived at the Madame Web premiere in a transparent webbed Gucci gown that intentionally put the silhouette on display. Just earlier this week, she adopted a similar approach at Vogue World in Milan, where she appeared in a sheer black look by Valentino.
The contrast between the demure lace and the revealing transparency gave the ensemble a notably current feel. It also highlighted Allen, one of New York’s most buzzed-about labels at the moment and a brand recently nominated for a CFDA Award for Emerging Designer.
With Johnson’s press tour for the thriller off to a strong start, speculation now shifts to her co-star: observers are watching to see whether Hathaway might deliver one final maternity fashion moment before the promotional run concludes.
