Dakota Johnson’s Black Gown Puts Her Thigh on View Through a Sheer Side Panel

Dakota Johnson brought gothic romanticism to the LACMA Art + Film Gala 2026 in a sheer black strapless gown. The dramatic construction of the gown revealed her thigh through a side panel. Her ensemble for the star-studded fundraising event at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art balanced classic tailoring with surrealist elements.

Dakota Johnson looked gorgeous in the strapless black gown at the 2026 LACMA Gala. The corset bodice featured twist detailing at the bust and visible vertical boning channels. At the right hip, an asymmetrical cutout unveiled a sheer, gossamer-thin black tulle panel cascading into a romantic side train. An ornate border of micro-crystals and silver embroidery outlined the high slit down to the hem of the skirt.

She completed her look with point-toe heels coated in sparkling silver embellishments with delicate ankle straps. Further, chandelier drop earrings framed her face, echoing the gown’s crystal trim. Johnson wore her hair in an updo and left her neck bare to keep the focus on her strapless neckline.
