Dakota Johnson Handles her new Wardrobe Malfunction Like a Pro

Dakota Johnson handled it like a pro when her little Magda Butrym red dress had a malfunction at her appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, but it seems as though the hem was a few inches shorter than she originally anticipated. She completed the look with matching pointed-toe shoes and showed off her signature fringe with loose waves.

While she was sitting down on the couch for her interview, the silk number rode up her leg a bit too far, to the point where she got self-conscious by a flash of skin she tried covering up her upper thigh with both of her hands. 

“Are you ok? Are you alright? Do you want my jacket?” host James Corden offered, noticing his guest’s near-miss of a wardrobe malfunction. 

Without skipping a beat, the 32-year-old actress hilariously replied back, “I’m ok. It’s nothing nobody hasn’t already seen.” This master reply was a reference to Johnson’s nude scenes in her 2015 film 50 Shades of Grey, 2017 flick Fifty Shades Darker and 2018 movie Fifty Shades Freed. In the trilogy, she plays Anastasia Steele. Johnson showed some skin in her new movie The Lost Daughter as well. 

Furthermore, this isn’t the first time Johnson has laughed off unexpectedly showing some skin. Looking back to the 2016 People’s Choice Awards and How to Be Single actress faced a similar wardrobe malfunction. 

As she walked up on the stage to accept her award for a favorite dramatic movie actress, the star’s bustier unclipped. Rather than proceed to instant panic mode, she remained calm, cool, and undisturbed. “Well, it’s not like nobody here hasn’t already seen my boobs,” she joked with the live audience. 

Johnson explained exactly what went down on stage during her appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers later that year. Apparently, it was her impatient hug with presenter Leslie Mann that caused the drama. 

“I hadn’t seen her in a while, so I hugged her,” she said. “I hugged Leslie and then my dress broke and it was a two-piece, so my top almost fell off.” 

While Johnson would definitely have preferred to avoid accidental clothing crises, she’s certainly not against stripping down for a movie scene. 

“Will I stop doing nude scenes when my boobs start sagging? I don’t know. Maybe I have a more European mindset about these things,” she stated in an interview with Vogue. “I don’t want to see someone wearing a bra and underwear in a sex scene. Let’s be honest about it. People are naked when they f—k.”
