Cannes 2025: Dakota Johnson shows (again!) what the perfect dress for the red carpet looks like for her

Dakota Johnson impresses with her first evening outfit before her appearance on the red carpet of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

With one day ahead of the screening of her film "Splitsville" (May 19) , Dakota Johnson lit up the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on Sunday evening, May 18. She attended Kering's Women in Motion Awards, a gala dinner featuring a host of celebrity guests who are brand testimonials. There was no red carpet, but there was a celebratory moment honoring actress Nicole Kidman . Dakota was among the stars invited and chose a sultry silver gown for the occasion.

At the Kering Women in Motion Awards during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Dakota Johnson enchanted the audience in a silver mesh gown that played with the duality of coverage and revealing. Although her evening dress featured a halter neck and was completely covered in rhinestones, the minimalist shape and flowing fabric expertly balanced the glamour factor. This isn't the first time the actress has opted for the glittering see-through look: Last year, for the press tour of her film "Madame Web," she wore two mesh models encrusted with sparkling rhinestones, which perfectly matched the film. The actress must have loved this particular styling even afterward.

The silver sandals with a mirrored effect rounded off the outfit, reflecting the light from the photocall and adding another dazzling touch. The accessory that most caught the eye, however, were the maxi earrings with crystals arranged in a radial pattern that framed the actress's face.

On Saturday evening, May 17, Dakota Johnson was in Cannes to attend the after-show of the film "Die, My Love," where she was photographed alongside lead actress Jennifer Lawrence . For the occasion, she chose an outfit in warm tones: a short, boxy paisley-pattern jacket fastened with decorative buttons and a flowing chocolate-colored skirt. She accessorized with '70s sunglasses with caramel-colored lenses.
