10 times Dakota Johnson proved she's the queen of red carpet glam
Dakota Johnson is one of those celebrities who never gets it wrong when it comes to beauty. Adored for her signature fringe, and the occasional bright lip, the Fifty Shades star knows exactly what works for her, and she wears it well.
Over the years, Dakota has confirmed she has the best red carpet wardrobe but even more so, she has given us ample, noteworthy beauty looks. From shaggy bobs (before they were as trendy as they are today!), beach waves and experimenting with colour when it comes to hair, to perfecting the classic rosy cheek (a moment for her flawless skin, please) and always amplifying her piercing blue eyes with the best eyeshadow looks.
In fact, now that we think of it, it's pretty hard to pick a favourite when browsing through her catalogue of beauty looks. Naturally, some were of their time and perhaps shouldn't be repeated any time soon (we were all a victim of early ‘00 trends) but more often than not, Dakota nails it and we're here to applaud her. Every. Single. Time.
Few people can be as versatile with their glam as the actor and over the years, she has proven that she's unafraid to try new looks, no matter how different they may be and we love that about her. To help refresh your memory, here are some of Dakota Johnson's best beauty looks to date, because as well as having a full-fleshed career as one of Hollywood's highest in demand, she always has time to slay her glam…

One thing about Dakota, she'll always slay that Vanity Fair Oscars After Party red carpet with not only her wardrobe choice but her glam. This soft pink look is simply beautiful and her pinned back chocolate locks put all the focus on her beloved fringe.
Vittorio Zunino CelottoSeptember 2021
We're obsessed with everything from the perfectly matched nude lip to the metallic smokey eye and her signature fringe here, not to mention her immaculately glowy skin!
Kevin WinterOctober 2019
We love it when Dakota goes all out with full on glam and this was one of those moments. Soft long Hollywood waves, dramatic eyes and yet another immaculate lip shade - yes yes yes!
Frazer HarrisonSeptember 2019
Updos are rare for Dakota but this look made us wish they weren't. Not only does the style show off her perfectly symmetrical face (we see those bronzed cheeks!) but it compliments her fringe, not to mention this lip shade, which may just be our favourite on her!
Stephane Cardinale - CorbisDecember 2018
Look at those curls? It's the shiny and delicately bouncy ‘do of dreams. We’re also loving the crystal blue eyeshadow matching her dress and once again, the rosy cheeks are in full force here. J'adore!
Jesse GrantNovember 2018
The Fifty Shades gave us gothic chic with this shorter fringe, winged liner and dark smokey eye combo back in 2018. Is there anything she can't pull off?
Jon KopaloffSeptember 2018
A round of applause to Dakota's make-up artist here! They got everything right, from the pink metallic eyes (a go-to for her), the contour and the berry lip. chefs kiss

Dakota knows how to pull off a smokey eye and this look is simply further proof. Her eyebrow game is also consistently strong!
Vittorio Zunino CelottoSeptember 2015
A bob with blonde highlights? Yes, please. This was a different look for Dakota, who usually spots longer locks, but she wore it so well. The nude lip is also an instant win!
Nicholas HuntNovember 2015
The actor looked like she'd been plucked straight out of a Great Gatsby party in this 1920s flapper girl-style glam and once again, she was serving! Proof that she'd shine in any era.
