Dakota Johnson poses in a red cutout dress for Valentino campaign
Take a look at the photo of Dakota Johnson dazzling in a red silk dress for Valentino’s dreamy new campaign:
The ad campaign, unveiled on Valentino’s official Instagram, showcases pieces from the brand’s Cruise 2026 collection — Alessandro Michele’s first since taking over as creative director earlier this year. In the photo, Johnson lies gracefully on the floor, holding a golden phone, and surrounded by scattered accessories.
She stuns in a striking red silk chiffon minidress featuring delicate cutouts around the torso, frilly off-the-shoulder straps, and soft ruching that accentuates her features. A chic handbag rests beside her brown hair, while a pair of aqua heels with thick ankle straps lie casually discarded on the other side.
Fans flooded Valentino’s post with admiration. One wrote, “Divine,” while another gushed, “You are so perfect.” A third commented, “This dress and bag combo is everything.” Many also called the photoshoot “phenomenal,” noting that the actress looked like “perfection.”
