Dakota Johnson Turns Up the Heat in All-Black Glam for W Magazine
Dakota Johnson front-rowed Calvin Klein’s Fall 2026 runway in a look that was effortless yet undeniably chic, as reported by W Staff. The actress, who also posed for a separate W Magazine shoot recently, chose a “drapey little skirt suit” from creative director Veronica Leoni’s previous collection. “It was the first thing that I tried on. I liked it, so then I chose it,” Johnson said, keeping her outfit selection simple and stress-free.
The Calvin Klein show, held at The Shed, attracted some of fashion’s most visible names. Johnson sat between Hollywood legend Brooke Shields and Blackpink star Jennie, who had just arrived moments before the show. “We just met and she’s so sweet,” Johnson shared about Jennie. Other attendees included Jodie Turner-Smith, Myha’la Herrold, François Arnaud, and social media personality Benito Skinner, who made a bold statement braving the cold in shorts.

Leoni’s collection explored Calvin Klein’s archives from the late 1970s and early 1980s, blending classic American elegance with modern touches of sensuality. Many pieces were designed to appear modest from the front but reveal daring cutouts or sheer panels from behind. “It’s so classic and I think it’s just so chic. Veronica is so talented,” Johnson said, praising the mix of sophistication and playfulness in the designs. “There are so many pieces in this collection that I’m excited about.”
