Dakota Johnson made her Valentino girl era official in the most glamorous way possible — under the spotlight of Vogue World 2025, held on the historic Paramount lot in Hollywood.
The Madame Web star used the fashion-meets-film spectacle to debut her role as Valentino’s newest ambassador, stepping onto the red carpet in an ethereal blush-pink gown from Alessandro Michele’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The body-skimming silhouette, adorned with crystal floral appliqués and a tulle-ruffled neckline, perfectly captured the dreamy, sensual aesthetic Johnson has made her signature.
Her look was quintessentially Dakota — soft yet commanding, intricate yet effortless. She paired the gown with sleek drop earrings, a rectangular black Valentino clutch, and her signature long brunette hair with curtain bangs, letting the design’s delicate details shine.
The night also marked Johnson’s first major appearance since officially joining Valentino — a natural continuation of her long creative partnership with Michele, who previously dressed her during his tenure at Gucci. Speaking on the collaboration, Johnson shared her excitement:
“I am elated to be joining the Valentino family, and beyond happy to be reunited with my dearest friend Alessandro Michele. I am honoured and excited to begin this new chapter with such wonderful and talented people.”
For Valentino, her ambassadorship represents “an ongoing dialogue with individuals who embody artistry, elegance, and cultural resonance.”
With awards season on the horizon, this reunion between Dakota Johnson and Alessandro Michele promises to deliver more cinematic red-carpet moments — and plenty of romantic Valentino magic to come.
