During the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, Dakota Johnson stepped out in a transparent silver Gucci gown for the Kering Women in Motion Awards, an event that honors women’s contributions to film. The actress finished off her look with statement earrings and her signature shaggy bangs.
Johnson is at Cannes to premiere her upcoming film Splitsville, which she also produced through her production company, TeaTime Pictures. Directed by Michael Angelo Covino, Splitsville follows a couple who become entangled in their friends’ open marriage. Adria Arjona, Nicholas Braun, and O-T Fagbenle also star.
On Monday, at the film’s photo-call, Johnson kept it simple with a classic little black dress, strappy heels, and her hair pulled to the side in a loose braid.
At the Kering Women in Motion Talk the same day, Johnson spoke about why she wanted to start a production company in the first place. She founded TeaTime Pictures in 2019.
“So much of why I wanted to start a production company and make my own movies is because I want more from this industry,” Johnson told Variety. “I felt so thirsty for more conversation and more creativity and more collaboration. I found myself as an actor, a few times, showing up to the premiere of a movie to see it the first time and saying, ‘Woah. That is not what I thought we were making.’”
This is her first time attending Cannes after spending years at the Venice Film Festival with projects like Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter and Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash. “I honestly thought I would never go to Cannes,” she revealed to Deadline. “I was like, ‘There must be some weird curse on me where I’ll just never get to do it.’”
