Dakota Johnson is out here giving us major Princess Diana vibes, and honestly, it’s the kind of energy we love to see. While promoting her upcoming romantic film Materialists, Dakota stepped out in New York looking effortlessly stunning in a sheer black dress. And the timing? Let’s just say, it couldn’t be more iconic. This comes shortly after news broke that she and Coldplay’s Chris Martin have ended their relationship after being together for a whopping eight years.
Is Dakota Johnson pulling a Diana moment?
Walking the streets of NYC on Thursday, Dakota looked like she meant business, but fashionably, of course. Her all-black outfit wasn’t just a fashion choice, it felt symbolic. It instantly reminded fans of Princess Diana’s famous “revenge dress,” you know, the one she wore when Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla came to light. Diana showed up in a jaw-dropping black number that basically said, “Your loss, buddy.”
Dakota seems to be channelling that same bold, beautiful energy, elegant, composed, and radiating “I’m doing just fine, thanks” energy. She was all smiles as she waved at fans and paparazzi outside The Greenwich Hotel, dripping in confidence and designer threads before heading off for more press duties.
This marks one of Dakota’s first big public appearances since her split from Chris Martin. The two had been notoriously private about their romance, which allegedly included a secret engagement at some point. So when news of their breakup surfaced, it took fans by surprise, especially since they were seen looking totally in love at the Cannes Film Festival just a few weeks ago.
They were cuddly, cute, and all over each other on the red carpet, not exactly the kind of behaviour you’d expect from a couple on the rocks. While neither Dakota nor Chris has shared the reason behind the split, a source reportedly told PEOPLE that “this time feels final.”
Despite the personal shake-up, Dakota is diving headfirst into work. She’s currently promoting Materialists, a much-hyped romantic drama where she stars alongside heartthrobs Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. The film explores a love triangle, and judging by the buzz, fans are in for a wild, emotional ride.
Breakups are tough, but if anyone knows how to walk through one with grace and a killer outfit, it’s Dakota Johnson.
