Dakota Johnson of 50 Shades Loves Gucci and Old Hollywood Glamour
The daughter of Don Johnson and actress Melanie Griffith, herself the daughter of actress Hitchcock blonde Tippi Hedren, Dakota Johnson’s Hollywood bona fides go back several generations. The 27-year-old 50 Shades actress first garnered attention for her role in The Social Network, in which she played a Stanford student whose one-night stand with Sean Parker leads him to Facebook—and, by extension, to Mark Zuckerberg. Since then, she’s become best known as Anastasia Steele, the protagonist of Twilight fanfiction-turned-big-budget franchise 50 Shades of Grey, whose second installment, 50 Shades Darker, is out this weekend. Amid it all, Johnson has made time for forays into the fashion world, too—she has appeared front-row at Chanel Métiers D’Art and Dior, and she, like Hari Nef, Jared Leto, and Florence Welch, is among the cadre of muses to Gucci designer Alessandro Michele. See her greatest hits on the red carpet—including, naturally, a lot of Gucci—here.
