Dakota Johnson added a flapper-girl twist to her sartorial agenda as she stepped out for Amazon MGM Studios' Verity premiere at AMC Lincoln Square in New York.

The actress showed off her toned abs in a bedazzled white co-ord courtesy of custom Calvin Klein. The ensemble consisted of a micro bra that featured spaghetti straps and a high-waisted maxi skirt. The look was embellished all over with delicate silver fringing that cascaded down the garment. Styled by Kate Young, the outfit was accessorized with a simple diamond-encrusted tennis necklace.

Dakota's luscious locks were styled in a half-up look with her signature full bangs while her makeup oozed glam, courtesy of a soft eye and a bold red lip.

HELLO!'s TV & Film Editor, Nicky Morris, shared her expert insight on the new film. "Hot on the heels of the hard-hitting domestic drama It Ends with Us comes another Coleen Hoover adaptation," she said. "Expectations are high among fans of the seductive psychological thriller, which stars Dakota Johnson as a struggling writer hired to ghostwrite for renowned author Verity Crawford (played by Anne Hathaway), only to uncover dark, terrifying, and deeply disturbing secrets. Director Michael Showalter took inspiration from the works of iconic filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock – making Dakota's casting particularly fitting, given her grandmother Tippi Hedren starred in The Birds and Marnie."

The premiere comes after Dakota graced the 2026 Video Music Awards in another custom Calvin Klein creation. The actress wore a pale-pink gown that featured razor-thing straps and a square neckline. The semi-sheer number was adorned with intricate sequins that glistened under the lights.

Dakota has been busy serving up a fashion marathon. She stepped out for the Vogue World 2026 Milano showcase on September 22 in a romantic ensemble from Valentino's fall 2026 collection titled Interferenze by Alessandro Michele. The look consisted of a black velvet jacket styled with a basque skirt that fell into a transparent underlayer crafted from chiffon and trimmed with lace.  The blazer, which featured a plunging neckline, was left open to expose the star's silhouette.

The orange dress featured a flowing silhouette, a boat neckline with three-quarter length sleeves, and a maxi length skirt. The gown was adorned with intricate silver and purple sequin embellishments that bedazzled the zig-zag embroidery crafted onto the garment.
