Dakota Johnson made a striking entrance at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner in New York City on September 11, wearing a daring sheer black lace Gucci gown. The actress showcased the ongoing popularity of the sheer trend, embracing boldness with a look that combined elegance and transparency.
A Bold Fashion Statement at the Kering Foundation Gala
At the event, Johnson’s outfit was styled by Kate Young and featured a black sheer tulle gown from Gucci decorated with intricate black Flora embellishments. The dress boasted a fall-ready turtleneck, long sleeves, and an elegant train, while revealing daringly minimal coverage underneath. Johnson wore only a black thong and a matching black bustier bra by Fleur du Mal, emphasizing the gown’s transparency and sophistication.
She completed the ensemble with black bamboo heel sandals and carried a coordinating black Gucci Bamboo Night handbag. Her hair was swept into a chic updo, allowing her signature bangs to frame her face softly. Jewelry played an important role in the look, as Johnson donned diamond and emerald hoop earrings designed by Jessica McCormack, continuing her well-known affinity for emeralds.
Embracing the Sheer Fabric Trend
Demonstrating her comfort and style with transparent fabrics, Dakota Johnson has repeatedly been seen sporting sheer garments on the red carpet. This particular appearance stands out as possibly her most revealing yet, confirming that the sheer black lace style remains prevalent in her fashion choices.
Over the past year, Johnson has showcased a variety of see-through ensembles: a sparkly spiderweb-inspired sheer dress at the Madame Web premiere earlier this year; a sheer blue lace dress by Gucci in June; and another Gucci lace slipdress in September. That same month, she paired a sheer white lace Gucci dress with a bold black leather jacket, and in May, she captivated at Cannes in a slinky, silver, see-through gown. Clearly, this trend resonates deeply with her stylistic identity.
Finishing Touches and Signature Details
Johnson’s makeup and accessories complemented the luminous effect of her gown. Her smokey black eye makeup added intensity to the look, while an autumnal deep red manicure reinforced the seasonal mood. The emerald earrings by Jessica McCormack highlighted Johnson’s penchant for meaningful jewelry accents, adding a touch of elegance to the powerful, sheer ensemble.
The actress’s thoughtful integration of classic elegance with a bold fashion statement at the Kering Foundation event not only captured attention but also emphasized the enduring allure of sheer fabrics in high-fashion circles. As Johnson continues to embrace this trend, it signals that sheer black lace designs may remain a mainstay in her future style choices, influencing red carpet fashion in the coming months.
