Dakota Johnson nodded to the cutout trend with her Alessandra Rich dress at the Red Sea International Film Festival opening night red carpet on Thursday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The “Splittsville” star wore a strapless black dress with a plunging neckline and cutouts at either side of the waistline, transitioning to a cutout between the bodice and skirt at the back. Black fabric bound the bodice and sleek skirt together, while a thigh-high slit up the front of the skirt added further dimension to the overall look.

Johnson matched the mystique of her look with a pair of pointed-toe black patent leather slingback pumps courtesy of Paris Texas. With a muted and subdued sartorial statement, Johnson chose to add sparkle to her look via accessories. The actress wore a pair of statement chandelier earrings and styled a diamond bib necklace with cascading gemstones.

When it came to her glam, Johnson wore her hair in a flowing, natural style that cascaded down her back. Her fringe also framed her face. Makeup for the actress included bold brows, dramatically lined smoky eyes, and a glossy lip. Johnson often collaborates with award-winning stylist Kate Young.
