So, what’s going on when Venus decides to throw a fashion curveball at Capricorn season? Dakota Johnson, that queen of turning heads, stepped out recently rocking what some might call the “naked trend” but with her own twist — a sheer black lace Gucci number that had folks clutching their pearls at the Kering Caring for Women Dinner. Now, I get it, September’s energy has that daring vibe, but did Dakota push the envelope too far, flashing those stringy undergarments at a classy soiree? The stars might be hinting that sometimes subtlety wins, especially when Anna Wintour’s in the room. Yet, here’s the kicker — this isn’t Dakota’s first rodeo into sheer territory; the February premiere of Madame Web had fans wide-eyed at her mesh ensemble. But hey, in true Gemini fashion, she’s already flipped the script for December, showing up in a sleek black midi that says, “I’m here, I’m stunning, and I’m keeping you guessing.” Fashion faux pas or fearless flair? I’m leaning towards a little cosmic mischief with a side of diva. Wanna dive deeper into Dakota’s bold moves and fan reactions? Check it out here: LEARN MORE.

Dakota Johnson faced immense backlash earlier this year as she rocked the celebrity-adored “naked trend” for a fancy dinner outing. Attending the annual Kering Caring for Women Dinner in September, the actress went totally sheer in a lace black dress, although given her past see-through looks, she went relatively conservative. Flashing her stringy underwear beneath her body-hugging gown, Dakota highlighted her stunning figure in a Gucci number, but for many, her fashion choice was way too revealing for a classy dinner gala. This year’s Kering dinner was also attended by actresses Salma Hayek and Demi Moore, plus former Vogue boss Anna Wintour.

Scroll for all the photos and videos. The above look sparked a similar level of negativity in February 2024 as Dakota slipped her curves into an undies-free, mesh dress for the premiere of her Madame Web movie.
Going custom in a fitted, high-collar dress that highlighted her every curve, Dakota wowed in a tulle gown with heavy lace embellishments, sticking to a classic shade of black while rocking a maxi length.

Teasing her cleavage while wearing a black bralette, Dakota also put on a cheeky display in some moments, with rearview footage and photos of the actress showing her in a cheeky thong. Teaming her dress with strappy black heels, Dakota added pops of green from her emerald drop earrings, also sporting a glam red manicure, plus a full face of glowing makeup.

When fans reacted to the above video, many proved shocked. “Dakota dressed so inappropriately for this type of event. The rest of the women were classy – and covered,” one user said. Over 2,000 fans liked the reply. Another told the 36-year-old: “I don’t understand Dakota sometimes .. I mean it’s not Fifty Shades anymore, lady!”
Elsewhere, fans referenced the brunette’s summer split from ex-boyfriend Chris Martin. “Dakota is just tacky. Still trying to remind Chris Martin what he lost out on,” one user wrote. “Why, just why? So unnecessary,” another exasperated fan stated.

More recently, Dakota Johnson has moved away from the naked trend. In early December, she showed off her lithe figure in this sleeveless black midi number, pairing her figure-flaunting dress with heels while sporting her hair down and styled into bangs. Dakota donned the look for The Hollywood Reporter‘s Women in Entertainment. “An impeccable fit,” one fan wrote as the photo was reposted on Instagram.
