Dakota Johnson Stuns in a Sheer White Lace Gown with a Trendy Y2K Twist

Dakota Johnson Dazzles in Sheer Lace Gown at the Red Sea International Film Festival

On December 5, Dakota Johnson graced the Women in Cinema event during the Red Sea International Film Festival 2025 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, captivating onlookers in a stunning sheer white lace gown from Chloé’s Winter 2025 collection.

The gown showcased Johnson’s bold fashion sensibilities, featuring a plunging neckline and an unexpected ruffled peplum detail at the hips. Its bohemian design, characterized by delicate layers of lace, perfectly complemented the event’s upscale atmosphere.

While known for her laid-back street style, Johnson has frequently impressed with her daring red carpet choices, often opting for sheer lace ensembles. Previous memorable looks include a see-through cobalt blue lace dress with a drop waist and a sleek silk Gucci slip dress incorporating a sheer bodice. Her latest appearance marked another striking instance of her affinity for transparent attire.

Johnson understated her accessories by wearing just one bold ring and opting for neutral tones in her manicure and makeup, letting the dress take center stage.

One day prior, she made waves with a plunging strapless black gown featuring hip cutouts and a dramatic necklace at the same festival.

Reflecting on her experience at the festival, Johnson expressed that the event had "renewed her faith in cinema." She remarked, “The thing I feel about this festival is inspired. I feel inspired to operate this way in our own production company in the States; I want to support all these filmmakers.” She contrasted this revitalizing experience with her sentiments about the film industry in the United States, indicating a stark difference after just a short time spent in Saudi Arabia.
