Dakota Johnson braless in sheer indigo lace at Zurich Film Festival, accepts Golden Eye Award
The actress debuts a see-through, bead-adorned gown on the red carpet and on stage, following a string of translucent looks.
Dakota Johnson lit up the Zurich Film Festival red carpet on Thursday in an indigo blue sheer lace dress, a braless look that drew widespread attention as she arrived and later accepted the Golden Eye Award for career achievement.
The floor-length gown featured a sheer lace mock turtleneck bodice with a drop waist and a voluminous ballgown-style tulle skirt, finished with two substantial jeweled rings. Johnson wore her brunette locks in soft waves and opted for a neutral makeup palette to complement the daring silhouette. The look highlighted a trend she has embraced in recent outings, pairing transparency with bold jewelry for a high-fashion moment on the red carpet.
Johnson's Zurich appearance followed a separate sheer-lace moment earlier this month at a Kering Foundation dinner in New York, where she wore a completely sheer black lace dress. For that event, she reportedly wore black undergarments to maintain coverage and paired the look with a cherry-red manicure and an event-worthy updo. The actress has also been pictured in transparent ensembles at other high-profile events, including a crystal-embellished, mesh Gucci design for the Madame Web premiere in February 2024, underscoring a long-running openness to sheer fabrics in her red-carpet repertoire.
The Golden Eye Award, presented at the Zurich Film Festival, recognizes career achievement. Johnson is the daughter of actress Melanie Griffith and actor Don Johnson, and her career spans film and television across multiple decades. She stepped on stage to accept the award, adding a formal capstone to the festival’s honoring of her work in the industry.
Johnson has spoken publicly about her approach to fashion, telling Vogue during the Cannes Film Festival that fashion has always been personal to her. She noted that she tends to choose outfits she feels good wearing and that the red carpet moment should align with how she experiences the garment, rather than adhering to a single formula. The Zurich appearance amplifies the actress's willingness to push style boundaries while maintaining a grounded, feel-good approach to dressing for major events.
