Dakota Johnson’s Cape Detail Reworks Classic Outwear for Fall

Dakota Johnson is known for her appreciation of eye-catching pieces, yet when it comes to styling she also enjoys refined simplicity. Styled by Kate Young, she attended another night of the Zurich Film Festival  on Saturday. She appeared on stage in Switzerland wearing a Maximilian Davis Ferragamo Fall 2025 minidress. The charcoal grey bodice was draped in a black silk cape and finished with a short black hem. The cape is making a reappearance this season, as seen on the autumn 2025 runways, with labels such as Khaite, Chloé, and Celine all introducing their own designs.

Johnson  wore enormous platform boots made of shining black leather from Saint Laurent  to balance out the softness of the wool outfit. The striking shoes, which hit just below the knee, had a block heel and a slightly rounded toe, with an engraved belt-buckle design at the ankle adding a touch of gold to the star’s otherwise black-and-grey look. Her makeup was a light smokey eye and nude lip. She used more metals in her jewellery, including two pieces of Roberto Coin, a pair of rose gold earrings with diamond detailing, and a yellow gold ring encrusted with diamonds and sapphires.

At the festival, Johnson received the Golden Eye Award while also presenting her new movie, “Splitsville”. Speaking about her project, she said  “I guess, off the bat, it reads as a comedy. It’s about two couples and the challenging dynamics of their relationships individually, and then their relationships intertwined with each other. It’s about the complexities of love.”

She added, “It’s less of a love triangle and more of a love experiment. It’s enmeshed, codependent, incestuous, and all the while really deeply loving ultimately, but pretty fucked up a lot of the time.”

Her look for the Zurich film festival showed how carefully chosen pieces, from luxury tailoring to statement boots and sparkling jewelry, can make a simple outfit truly stand out.
