Dakota Johnson's Most Enviable Street Style Looks

Dakota Johnson has stepped into all kinds of roles, from 50 Shades of Grey’s Anastasia Steele to Anne Elliot in the 2022 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion. She's even making her superhero debut in Marvel's upcoming Madame Web. Off-screen, Johnson has a clear sense of who she is outside her fictional personas, and it shows through her wardrobe. 

On the red carpet, the beloved actress is pure elegance. No matter if she’s wearing a gown or suit, her sophistication is palpable. Dakota Johnson’s street style is no less impressive. (She is a face of Gucci, after all). Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite Dakota Johnson street-style moments, and are thrilled to report that a handful of the actress’s looks can be easily copied. 

Quiet Luxury with a Twist

One of Johnson’s most recent street style looks is a slightly colorful interpretation of the "Quiet Luxury" trend. She pairs brown slacks with a pale pink button-down and practical black flats, and accessorizes with a black Chanel crossbody bag and sunglasses. 

Party Pants and a Tee

Something we noticed from studying Johnson’s off-duty looks is that this woman loves a checkered moment. For this particular street-style look, the actress opted for checkered bottoms paired with a white T-shirt and loafers to ensure the spotlight stayed on her fantastic pants.

Classic Black & White

Some celeb street-style looks don’t feel particularly wearable outside the 90210 zip code. This is not one of them. All you need is a pair of high-waisted trousers, a cropped tank top, and a matching sweater to master Johnson’s aesthetic. It’s cool, comfortable, and can be worn year-round with a simple swap (or elimination) of outerwear.

Easy Elegance

Blazer dresses are equal parts sophisticated and sexy. Add a pair of pointed-toe pumps, hoop earrings, a chainlink shoulder bag, and a sleek top knot and you can channel Johnson’s particular brand of easy elegance, too.

Better Basics

White T-shirts and blue jeans go together like peanut butter and jelly, but the combo on its own could sometimes use a little oomph. To elevate the otherwise lax aesthetic, Johnson slips into a pair of loafers and adds a burnt brown colored trench coat as a top layer. But she still wants the look to be casual, so she finishes off with a baseball cap, tinted sunglasses, and a red shoulder bag to offset the look from feeling overly upscale.

A Three-Piece Suit

Johnson doesn’t subscribe to the idea that a daytime look can’t be both sharp and relaxed, and this suit is the perfect example. We love how each piece could stand on its own, but comes together to make a seamless outfit fit for a business meeting or brunch.

A Graceful Gown

All eyes were on Johnson in this monochromatic outfit on a night out in Manhattan. Though her ensemble looks seamless from her heels to her dress, the actress does opt for a statement-making handbag, and matches the purse to her moody manicure.

Professional Chic

There’s a lot to love about Johnson’s skirt suit set. It’s professional, yet playful, and serious, with a hint of sexy, thanks to the back slit in the midi skirt and corset-like cut of the cropped blazer.

Cozy On-the-Go 

What do activities like running errands, catching a flight, and grabbing a coffee all have in common? They require comfy clothes. This Dakota Johnson street style moment is the ultimate on-the-go outfit inspiration. Between the cropped leggings, quarter-zip, and sneakers, this look is as cozy as it is easy to put together in a pinch.

A Throwback Fit

Grab the boombox, this looks screams 1990s. From the black-and-red checkered pants to the oversized red sweater over a white T-shirt, Johnson makes grunge look great. It’s giving alternative punk meets glam, with her genius addition of chandelier earrings. 

Elevated Simplicity

Last but not least is another street-style look we guarantee you can throw together with pieces you already own. Swapping out a white tee for a silky cami and jeans combo, Johnson dresses up the simple look with strappy wedge sandals and an oversized burgundy clutch.
