Dakota Johnson Debuts Sheer Lace Gown at 'Verity' Premiere

Dakota Johnson made a striking fashion statement at the London premiere of her film “Verity” on Thursday, opting for a daring sheer lace gown.

The actress, known for her bold sartorial choices, wore a delicately woven beige lace dress by Colleen Allen. The gown featured a plunging neckline with a shawl collar and a sleeveless design, revealing a black lace lingerie set by Fleur du Mal underneath.

Johnson, 36, styled her brunette hair in a straight cut and accessorized with a gold necklace, bracelet, and several rings. She was also seen posing with co-star Josh Hartnett, who attended the event in a modern black suit.

This is not the first time Johnson has embraced the sheer aesthetic on the red carpet. In February 2024, she wore a custom Gucci creation of crystal mesh to the Los Angeles premiere of “Madame Web.” In June 2025, she stepped out in New York in a sheer black Nensi Dojaka bodysuit and a matching tulle midi skirt.

Her penchant for sheer ensembles continued in September 2025, when she appeared in a black lace dress with floral embroidery for the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner and later in a vibrant purple sheer lace Gucci dress at the Zurich Film Festival. In December 2025, she wore an off-white lace dress by Chloé to the Red Sea International Film Festival.

Johnson has previously expressed a relaxed attitude towards her fashion choices. In an October 2025 interview with Vogue Germany, she stated she does not worry about her dresses being perceived as “too sexy.” “I’ve been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them,” she told the publication.
