Dakota Johnson attended the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner on Tuesday night in a black, completely sheer Gucci gown that revealed lingerie underneath.
The 35-year-old actress’s floor-length lace dress featured intricate floral embroidery, a high neck and long sleeves, but was largely transparent, exposing a black balconette bra and cheeky underwear by Fleur du Mal. Johnson completed the look with strappy black high-heeled sandals, dark eyeliner, a nude lip and deep red nails. She wore her hair in a loose updo with face-framing bangs and accessorized with diamond and emerald jewelry by Jessica McCormack.
Photographs from the event show the dress’s long train as Johnson exited to a waiting town car. The lingerie pieces shown beneath the gown were identified by some outlets by brand and price. The evening drew attention both for the outfit and for the event’s charitable focus: the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner raises awareness and funds for women’s rights and related initiatives.
Johnson’s appearance continues a recent pattern of revealing red-carpet looks. Earlier this summer she wore a see-through Nensi Dojaka dress during television appearances and donned a string of transparent gowns while promoting the film Madame Web. Social media reaction to those outfits has been mixed, with some commentators praising the bold choices and others criticizing different ensembles; one metallic Gucci gown Johnson wore to a Los Angeles premiere drew online comparisons to aluminum foil.
Observers have noted the sequence of striking fashion moments comes months after Johnson’s split from Coldplay frontman and former fiancé Chris Martin. Coverage of her recent public appearances frequently referenced that personal development while also noting her longstanding support for women’s causes.
Representatives for Johnson and for Gucci did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Kering Foundation described the dinner as a fundraising and awareness event for its programs supporting women’s rights and safety. Johnson has participated in philanthropic efforts and public events tied to women’s empowerment in the past, and her presence at the dinner was noted by attendees and onlookers as aligning with those long-term commitments.
The appearance underscores a continuing trend in celebrity fashion toward transparent, lingerie-style red-carpet dressing, a look that sparks debate among fashion critics and audiences alike. The Kering Foundation event provided a platform for both the cause and the high-profile styling choices that drew media attention on Tuesday night.
