Someone who never disappoints on a red carpet? Dakota Johnson. And her latest look, worn for the UK premiere of her new film Verity, is easily one of her best yet. The actress, who stars in the Colleen Hoover adaptation alongside Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett, didn’t opt for a custom gown or anything too over the top. Instead, she wore a beautifully simple and stunningly constructed sheer lace dress by one of the fashion industry’s newest darlings, New York–based designer Colleen Allen. For the evening, Johnson’s stylist, Kate Young, pulled from Allen’s F/W 26 collection, selecting the ivory-colored, French lace number.
Johnson has never been afraid to go a little daring on the carpet, which is one of the reasons why we always love to see what she and Young come up with for press tours and award season. So, of course, she’d wear the dress in a subtly scandalous way, skipping the skin-tone panties worn by Allen’s model in the lookbook, and instead, going for a black silk bra-and-panty set by Fleur du Mal to add a touch of contrast to the ensemble.
