Dakota Johnson turns 32 today and it’s only fair that we spend the whole day celebrating her refined taste in fashion. The actor has quite evidently proven that she can pull off both – a casual pair of jeans and t-shirt, as well as a risque red-carpet gown, with equal finesse.
The Hollywood star’s phenomenal sartorial choices have always struck a chord with fashion critics and audiences. Gucci is her first port of call for major events – meanwhile, Valentino, Dior and Saint Laurent have also made their way into the actor’s red-carpet wardrobe over the years. On her birthday, here’s an edit of our favourite red carpet looks by Dakota that we would love to steal.
