The Gist

Dakota Johnson is one of the stars of Valentino’s 2026 cruise campaign.

She poses in a red cutout off-the-shoulder minidress.

Johnson previously served as a brand ambassador for Gucci.

Dakota Johnson is once again fashion designer Alessandro Michele’s muse. On Wednesday, the actress posed for Valentino’s cruise 2026 campaign years after she first became a Gucci brand ambassador. Michele recently relocated to Valentino after seven years at the latter label.

In new imagery, Johnson lies on a carpeted floor wearing a scarlet off-the-shoulder minidress featuring two upper ab-baring cutouts with some floral tights. Her accessories—a teal pair of open-toe pumps and a black bag with a gold chain strap–are strewn off to the side.

“Intimacy in frame. Brand Ambassador Dakota Johnson stars in #ValentinoCruise2026, the new campaign imagined by @Alessandro_Michele,” the caption of Valentino’s Instagram post reads.

Johnson also sports her signature wavy, brunette tresses and fringe, while her glam consisted of glowy pink blush and a rosy nude lip.

Days after the Fifty Shades alum made us rethink suede for summer, the actress stepped out in New York City wearing yet another unlikely seasonal look.

Back in June, Johnson wore a black longline leather blazer over a plunging long-sleeve jersey bodysuit by Balenciaga. Washed straight-leg jeans, Khaite wedges, tiny hoop earrings and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses completed her monochromatic outfit.

A week prior, the Materialists star casually paired over $100,00 worth of diamonds with a toffee-colored Khaite jacket, high-waisted jeans, and Gucci frames.

Styled by Kate Young and Natalie Gilhool, Johnson wore Ophelia Eve’s Emerald Victorian Slider Necklace, a gold collar with an emerald stone, worth $10,430, as well as the diamond-encrusted Collier De Amis by Sophie Billie Brahe, worth $123,858.
