At The Hollywood Reporter’s “Women In Entertainment” gala in Beverly Hills, Dakota Johnson proved once again that minimalism can be the most powerful style statement. The actor stepped onto the red carpet in a sleek black midi dress that skimmed the body, framed her neckline with a scoop front, and finished just below the knee for a quietly sensual, ultra-timeless silhouette.

Her look came straight from Khaite, a label she returns to again and again for events thanks to its clean lines and subtle drama. The Lotte midi dress paired perfectly with Khaite’s Jett D’Orsay pumps, a sharp pointed heel that lengthened her legs and kept the outfit cohesive without distracting from the simplicity of the dress. The monochrome styling allowed the focus to stay on fit, proportions and her signature effortless attitude.

To break up the all-black moment, Dakota added long silver drop earrings by Sophie Buhai, which caught the light as she moved and echoed the elongated lines of the dress. With her hair worn down and sleek, minimal rings, and barely-there glam, the overall effect was modern, unfussy and quietly luxurious.

This is far from the first time Dakota has turned to Khaite for the red carpet, and it is easy to see why: the brand’s pieces align perfectly with her preference for pared-back silhouettes that still feel cinematic. For anyone building an event wardrobe, her latest appearance is a masterclass in how a well-cut black dress, great shoes and one strong piece of jewelry can outshine even the most embellished gowns.
