Dakota Johnson Faces Renewed Plastic Surgery Speculation Amid Publicity Tour

Dakota Johnson has become the subject of increased speculation regarding her appearance following a series of recent public outings. The actress, 36, is currently engaged in promotional activities for her upcoming psychological thriller, 'Verity,' in which she stars alongside Anne Hathaway.

During her press tour, which has included appearances for Vogue and a UK screening of the film in London, fans and social media users have closely observed Johnson's face. Particular attention has been paid to what some perceive as a change in her eye shape, with comments highlighting a shift from seemingly more hooded eyelids to a more "doe-eyed" appearance.

Online commentary has ranged from expressions of surprise to concern. "She doesn’t even look like herself anymore," one user wrote, questioning the desire to alter one's recognizable features. Another commented, "She looks nothing like how she started," while a third expressed dismay with "Oh no she ruined herself." Some users went as far as to suggest she may have undergone an upper blepharoplasty, a surgical procedure to remove excess skin from the eyelids.

However, not all commentary has been critical. Some observers have defended the actress, with one user suggesting that the speculation arose simply from a change in her hairstyle: "dakota johnson trimmed her bangs and immediately there’s plastic surgery allegations."

The renewed focus on Johnson's appearance comes as news emerges of her involvement in the music video for Taylor Swift's latest single, "Patient Zero." The song is one of four new tracks featured on the deluxe edition of Swift's album, "The Life of a Showgirl." The audio recording of "Patient Zero" was released Thursday night, with the music video set to debut on Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Johnson, known for her roles and her past relationships, has previously been linked to musicians including Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and indie singer Role Model. Recently, rumors have intensified linking her with Machine Gun Kelly. The two were reportedly seen leaving the same car and entering a New York apartment owned by Taylor Swift, according to TMZ.

Johnson, the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, has previously discussed her interactions with musicians in a Vogue interview, stating, "They like me. I don’t know what to say. And I like them." When pressed about what there is not to like about them, she responded with a laugh, "A lot! A lot. Tricky motherf***ers."
