Dakota Johnson is yet again talked about all over the media, but not only because of her film that’s about to come the cinemas. Her exquisite fashion appearances, surprise appearances at different events with top actors and more, the “Fifty Shades” star is quickly becoming the month’s most talked-about figure. The answer as to why Dakota Johnson is on the rise should surprise you in case you’re puzzled.
All eyes on her new movie role
Firstly, her next movie appearance, of course. Johnson is the lead in the new film Materialists— a romantic comedy, which is getting a lot of attention before its release on June 13. In this film, she is a witty New York matchmaker who becomes intricately entangled with two utterly opposite love interests, played by Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.
Yet, it is no ordinary rom-com. Celine Song who had directed the 2023 Oscar-nominated film Past Lives happens to be the director of this project. In a recent TV show, Dakota revealed that she is totally against the view that romantic comedies are “just for fun”. She declared that love is a theme equally valuable with serious drama and fans ‘seem to’ agree.
Two more films are already in the pipeline
Although Materialists has been creating a buzz, the splendiferous actress hasn’t stopped at that.
Will the next movie, Splitsville, be able to top that? If yes, we hope to find an answer in the open marriage drama directed by Casey Affleck that is scheduled for the premiere in August. In the movie, Johnson plays a woman who decides to have an open marriage as a result of her husband’s infidelity. The film not only stars her but she also acts as a producer through her company, TeaTime Pictures.
Furthermore, Verity, a suspense/thriller written by the best-selling author Colleen Hoover has to be noted. She will be joined by Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett as they form the main cast of the film. Dakota has described it as “juicy” in a recent interview, indicating that the ones who love suspense and drama have a lot by way of their expectations when it comes to the film.
Impressing with Every Outfit
Despite the fact that she is not promoting her movies, Dakota Johnson is still attracting attention, especially in the fashion field. She was seen in a stupendous outfit last time in New York City. She was dressed in a Khaite suede jacket, a practically see-through black bodysuit, and vintage-washed jeans. What shook everyone was the fact that she was wearing over $100,000 of diamonds.
And it was not the only time she expressed her bold fashion sense.
At a Venice-themed exclusive gathering, Johnson was in a backless black dress, which only added to her elegance. The diamond and sapphire necklace were priced at over a whopping $1.2 million. This is undoubtedly a look that carries all the aura of Audrey Hepburn — graceful, graceful, and indelible.
Famous People’s Friendships That Are Well-Known
The people Dakota knows are as interesting as her movies and she is not shy about it. In the first place, she was seen with Jennifer Lawrence having a meal together in New York City. The friends’ selection of clothes was also noteworthy as Lawrence had on a knit top and a mini skirt, and Johnson chose to wear a suit jacket and trousers in white.
Although, the real thing that had got everyone talking was her relationship status update with Taylor Swift. Apparently, the pair was seen sharing a table at Via Carota, a place for celebrities in New York. Unexpectedly, their brothers — Jesse Johnson and Austin Swift — were also there. Could this be a sign of new family ties or maybe the sisters are planning to work on a project together in the future?
Dakota’s Unplanned TV Show Appearance
In addition to everything, this week Johnson popped up on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She participated in a couple’s romantic comedy guessing game and shared with the host the details of the role of her new movie Materialists. It was just a fun, light-hearted moment and the smile on her face told you that she really loves interacting with her fans and is always very at ease with a live audience.
Why Is Dakota Johnson Now in the Spotlight?
It’s not a single event. It is the entire scope of things. A blockbuster opening. Another two movies in progress. A lot of high-profile fashion exposings. And endless hanging out with famous people.
Dakota Johnson has embarked on a new career trajectory. Not only is she an actress — she is a filmmaker, a style-setter, and a trendsetter in the industry. Whether she is headlining a rom-com or spending time with Taylor Swift, the point is very clear: people are seeing what Dakota Johnson could do next.
And indeed, things look great for the young star.
