When it comes to summer dressing, there’s really no easier combination than a midi dress and some sneakers. You check off elegance and comfort immediately, plus, if you need to turn it up a notch at any point of your day, say if you get a last-minute date invitation or decide to take yourself out somewhere fancy, you can always just slip on the delicate pair of kitten-heel sandals in your bag. Voila! Knowing the combo’s versatility this time of year, it should come as no surprise that Dakota Johnson is quite the frequent visitor of the dress-with-sneakers duo.
Johnson’s latest dabble into this look arrived late last week during her walk to the New York City set of her new film Materialists, co-starring Chris Evan and Pedro Pascal. For the occasion, the Fifty Shades of Grey actress chose to pair a yellow, floral midi dress from one of WWW’s favorite dress brands, Doên, with Nike’s ever-sold-out Daybreak sneakers in black. Her silk number, which is still available in all sizes (XS to XL), was inspired by styles from the 1930s, with cascading ruffles around the sleeves and silk organza flowers at the neck. In contrast, her sneakers first debuted in 1979. To finish off the look, Johnson threw on her go-to Bottega Veneta sunglasses and a pair of Sophie Buhai silver hoops.
