Dakota Johnson Channels Original Rom-Com Queen Audrey Hepburn
The star stepped out in New York last night ahead of the premiere of her new film, 'Materialists.'


Recently, Dakota Johnson has been dressing like someone straight out of a 1990s rom-com, but last night in New York City she took her inspiration back even further: Audrey Hepburn. While by no means a direct recreation, her combination of a glittering diamond collar, a black floor-length dress, and a classic updo couldn’t help but recall Hepburn’s famous Breakfast at Tiffany’s look.
Johnson, attending an intimate Roberto Coin dinner, slipped into a strapless number from Ferragamo. The dress (currently on sale for $925) featured a gathered detail at the bust and a small leg slit along the backside. Johnson’s stretch dress was more about its silhouette, rather than over-the-top decoration. It was a piece that Lucy, the matchmaker Johnson plays in Materialists, would favor for a date night with either of her love interests, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.
Johnson stayed classic for the rest of her outfit. She wore black stilettos, also from Ferragamo, and a blinding Roberto Coin collar necklace designed with diamonds and emeralds. A blue cocktail ring and a flirty updo completed the look.
Johnson is back in New York (fittingly, where Materialists takes place) after a trip to the Cannes Film Festival earlier his month. For her first time attending the festival, the actor continued in the vein of her latest dress with simple, ’90s-inspired looks. She wore a bedazzled, almost naked dress to a Chopard event, which she followed up with a Saint Laurent slip that would have looked perfect on the set of her new rom-com.
Nowadays, most actors tend to go down the themed dressing route to promote their films—it’s a way of dressing that Johnson has dabbled in the past, as well. However, for Materialists, the star is doing things more authentically. She’s wearing simple, no-fuss looks that align with both her personal style and that of her matchmaking alter-ego.
