Dakota Johnson is among the 100 most influential people of 2026 according to Time and, of course, she could not miss the event held in New York City. Ethereal and theatrical at the same time, the actress chose a look by Valentino: a dress that perfectly embodies the inspired vision of its creative director, Alessandro Michele, whose muse and friend Dakota is. In a very light powder gray shade, the dress looks like a draped slip dress with a side slit. What really makes the difference, however, is the long cape embellished with jeweled details on the neckline, for a wow effect suspended between lightness and goddess suggestions. To complete the look, black open-toe heels embellished with a jeweled snake.
“Almost two decades after the beginning of her fascinating, diverse and eclectic career, audiences are still discovering Dakota Johnson. And it seems that the more you get to know her, the more reasons to love her increase,” Taylor Swift wrote in the profile dedicated to the actress for this important recognition, confirming a shared sentiment, that of an audience that never stops loving her, on the red carpet, on screen and off.
