Dakota Johnson is the latest celebrity to endorse the enduring naked dress trend, which despite Cannes’ high-profile ban, shows no signs of fading. So, while it might be a stretch to call her latest look—a sheer black top and midi skirt co-ord by Nensi Dojaka—a deliberate sartorial statement, that hasn’t stopped the internet from speculating.
Paparazzi agency Backgrid noted it was Johnson’s first public appearance since reports surfaced that she and Chris Martin had “ended their one-and-off relationship of eight years, marking the close of a long chapter.” And what better way to mark the (reported) close of a romantic chapter than with a fierce, attention-grabbing outfit? Though not technically a dress (though designed to look like one), wasn’t the term "Little Black Dress", and later, "Revenge Dress", coined for moments exactly like this?
