Dakota Johnson is the definition of an effortless cool girl, with the eyelash-grazing bangs to prove it. Her off-duty wardrobe consists of laidback basics and quiet luxury staples styled to reflect her forward-thinking fashion. This week, the actress wore a quintessential Dakota outfit, combining a few simple closet staples in an unexpected way.
Dakota Johnson wore a pair of baggy jeans and a cardigan, a fairly normal get-up, but the genius is in the details and subtle touches.
Johnson was photographed outside of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Los Angeles wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a cardigan. Her look was a fairly normal get-up, but the genius was in the details and subtle touches. She layered her big-buttoned black cardigan over a white tee, just peeking out from underneath, and paired it with low-rise boyfriend jeans. Johnson completed the look with a thin, suede light brown Gucci "Blondie" belt (its gold double-G logo buckle is mirrored in her gold hoop earrings) and bone white Gucci "Signoria" pointed-toe slingback heels.
Johnson's outfit plays with prep and edge, femininity and tom-boyishness.
The ensemble plays with prep and edge—femininity and tom-boyishness—and has no doubt already made its way to mood boards at the Everlane offices. She drove the point home with her accessories: Her Bottega Veneta tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses resting on her nose, her olive green Gucci Jackie 1961 shoulder bag tucked under her arm, and her chunky, midnight blue, diamond-dotted Verdura ring. Her hair, tied into a purposefully messy top bun with free tendrils, added to her outfit's overall nonchalance.
Her look fits squarely into Johnson's typical street style: trendy with a twist. We recently saw the Madame Webb star put her own spin on Gen Z's favorite big-pants-small-top outfit formula. Just last week, she test-drove the sheer skirt trend in head-to-toe Gucci. (She's not just a certified cool-girl fashion icon—she's also a Grade-A Gucci girl, starring in the luxury brand's recent Jackie 1961 campaign.)
Always one to put her own spin on a popular style, Dakota Johnson test-drove the sheer skirt trend in head-to-toe Gucci.
Miss Johnson, we'll forever be taking notes from your imitable street style. Scroll down to shop out Dakota Johnson's outfit of basics that were anything but.
