We've all had those times when you leave the house in a hot little outfit, only to arrive at the function and suddenly have regrets. Well, it looks like Dakota Johnson found herself in one of those situations this week — only, to make things worse, she was on TV.
On Monday night, Dakota was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and stunned for the occasion in a black mini-dress with a plunging neckline that exposed rather a lot of cleavage.
And while she looked gorgeous, Dakota couldn't hide her discomfort from the moment she sat down on the couch and began trying to adjust her outfit from every angle. 'Are you OK?' Jimmy asked, seemingly picking up on her edginess. 'This is the wrong outfit,' she replied.
Jimmy reassured her that she looked great, and the two awkwardly laughed it off. Although for the next 20 seconds or so, they struggled to keep their composure as they both tried to ignore the, ummm, elephant in the room.
'Just don't move,' Jimmy said, as he tried to navigate the situation before him.
'My eyes are up here,' Dakota quipped, prompting the host to look up at the ceiling in joking despair. 'I don't know where…I can't even,' he said. 'I can't even look there. I don't even know what to do.'
After a few more giggles, they were able to get the interview back on track. But it wasn't long before the voices in Dakota's head took over and forced her to halt the conversation once again. 'Tell me if there's a problem,' she said, looking down at her chest and covering herself with her hands.
Handling things as best as he could and, importantly, trying to keep his eyes in the right place, Jimmy joked: 'There's almost a problem, but not quite.'
'Does anyone have, like, a blanket I could wear?' Dakota asked, before Jimmy got creative with the tissues at his desk.
'That's perfect. No one will even know the difference,' he said, later joking that he'd sell the tissue on eBay. LOL.
Honestly, I could feel the discomfort through my screen. And though it made for some pretty funny TV, people in the YouTube comments section seem to be a little confused as to why she or her stylist didn't think the outfit through before she walked out.
'Why did she wear this silly outfit?' one person commented. 'she was clearly uncomfortable from the second she sat down.''why do the stylists do this? why make the artist uncomfortable?' commented another.
Well, we can all agree that Dakota still looked great, and she and Jimmy certainly handled the discomfort like pros. Lessons learned all around.
