Dakota Johnson is turning heads once more with her sartorial choices.
The Materialists actress, 35, stepped out in a sheer black Gucci dress on Thursday, September 11, as she attended the Kering Foundation’s annual Caring for Women dinner at The Pool in New York City.
Johnson’s barely-there look was embroidered with floral lacework and featured a turtleneck, long sleeves and a train. The actress wore a set of matching black bra and panties under the striking gown.
For Thursday’s event, Johnson had her signature dark hair in an updo, while her trademark bangs framed her face.

Johnson’s penchant for daring dressing was also on display in June when she was spotted in New York City in a see-through black midi-dress, which she later wore for an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
The actress stepped out in the sheer look after news broke of her reported split from Coldplay singer Chris Martin following eight years together.
Johnson’s stylist, Kate Young, has previously praised the actress over how easy she is to work with.
“She likes clothes. Not all actresses do,” Young told British Vogue in November 2021. “It’s fun trying on clothes with her; it’s not serious or stressful, and she humors me.”
Young also complimented the Madame Web star’s toned physique, describing her as having the “body of the greatest stripper.”
“She looks really great in simple things, because her body is so great unadorned,” said the stylist. “She doesn’t need a lot of bells and whistles; it can look too much sometimes.”
Young described Johnson’s style as “classic, minimal, elegant, with just a little bit of fashion” for daytime. However, come evening, “Dakota wants to be a disco ball,” said her stylist.

The naked dress trend has become a staple on the red carpet over the last year, with stars including Margot Robbie, Kylie Jenner and Zoë Kravitz embracing sheer fabric.
“In the present, naked dressing is often seen as a statement of confidence and empowerment. It challenges traditional notions of modesty and body image, allowing individuals to reclaim their bodies and express their style,” fashion historian Shelby Ivey Christie told Marie Claire in September 2024.
