Dakota Johnson's Materialistic Outfits Are Spot On—5 Looks I'm Excited to Imitate

      I can hardly recall a time when I was as thrilled about a film as I am about Materialists. From the moment it was announced—featuring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans together, directed by Céline Song of Past Lives fame—I was completely on board. Set in a moody, contemporary New York, the film portrays Johnson as a charming matchmaker whose professional demeanor starts to unravel when her personal life becomes chaotic. With a cast that's truly impressive, the film is just as intricate and beautiful as one would anticipate. However, beyond its sharp writing and personal storytelling, Johnson's outfits in Materialists serve as a brilliant example of character-driven fashion.

      In signature Dakota Johnson fashion, her wardrobe achieves a rare blend of effortless style and wearability. Johnson’s clothing feels like a reflection of her character’s inner journey, transitioning from structured, bold pieces to subtle, off-duty essentials as the narrative progresses. One striking moment comes with a vibrant electric-blue dress from Proenza Schouler that makes a memorable entrance with its confident flair. Later, a well-fitted blazer from Aritzia appears several times, paired with sleek boots from Paris Texas that give her a solid yet commanding stance. There's also a more pared-back look: straight-leg blue jeans matched with a white shirt; a combination that is both simple and assured.

      It’s not by chance that these outfits are so impactful. Song’s meticulous focus on costuming parallels her attention to dialogue. Each ensemble contributes to storytelling: the vibrancy of a color indicates a pivotal moment, the design of a jacket conveys authority, and the softness of denim suggests vulnerability. In a film thick with emotional depth, the fashion not only keeps pace but defines it. By the end, two things are clear: Dakota Johnson remains a captivating screen presence, and her wardrobe in Materialists might be among the finest I’ve come across.
