I’d love to see more people talking about Dakota Johnson’s style. If you’re into basics and chic outfits, her looks belong on your moodboard.

The partnership between Dakota and her stylist, Kate Young, is a winning one. For years, Kate has helped shape Dakota’s signature “effortless luxury” look, mixing high-end pieces with everyday staples.

On the red carpet—her appearance at Cannes is a perfect example—the team leaves the usual basics behind in favor of airy silhouettes that capture the lightness Dakota brings to interviews and talk shows. The result is a balance of French minimalism, bohemian touches, and a little sparkle.

Honestly, our editor Masha treats Dakota’s appearances like a guide to personal style: trends should feel understated and right for the occasion, the fit should flatter, and jewelry should be the finishing touch.
