Melanie Griffith Makes Rare Red Carpet Appearance With Daughter
Legendary actress Melanie Griffith stunned in a rare red carpet appearance with her daughter, Dakota Johnson, on August 19.
Tippi Hedren's daughter, 68, posed alongside her own daughter, 35, while attending the Los Angeles premiere of Johnson's latest movie Splitsville at the AMC at The Grove. Naturally, the beloved actress was there to support Johnson, who has really blossomed as a performer over the last five years, and her latest project.
Both mother and daughter were looking incredibly stylish on the carpet, of course. Griffith rocked a stunning fitted light cream suit with cream and tan sneakers, while Johnson opted for a gorgeous strapless silver gown seemingly made of leather that hugged her slim figure perfectly. Her dress hit the floor, so her shoes on the carpet were somewhat of a mystery — a fun way to get fans talking about the beautiful look.
That said, Johnson changed up her outfit entirely for the screening's afterparty at Delilah in Los Angeles. The Madame Web star donned a chic long-sleeved black dress with a crew neck and black ankle booties to match. The actress' mother did not seem to attend the premiere party, but it was great to see her hit the carpet and support her daughter's endeavors.
In fact, this was somewhat of a rare appearance for Griffith. She was last seen at a book launch for Covet the Comeback by Christos Garkinos back in March, and before that, the Academy Award nominee was photographed on the red carpet at the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration in November 2024. So it's great to see the icon out and about in great spirits, especially to cheer on her daughter.
Johnson is the child of Griffith and actor Don Johnson, who is perhaps best known for playing James Crockett in the beloved 80s TV show Miami Vice. The pair married and divorced in 1976 and then got back together in 1989 before divorcing again in 1996.

Dakota Johnson and mom Melanie Griffith share the love during rare red carpet outing
Mother-daughter duo Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson had a rare flashy night out for a Hollywood event. Griffith, 68, supported her firstborn daughter at the premiere of Johnson's newest film, "Splitsville," at The Grove in Los Angeles on Aug. 19. The two took a few moments to pose on the red – well, beige – carpet together, sharing an embrace, clasping hands and admiring each other's outfits (Johnson was in Gucci). Johnson, 35, is the daughter of "Working Girl" actress Griffith and "Miami Vice" star Don Johnson. Johnson, who has a producer credit on "Splitsville," also took photos with costars Adria Arjona, Nicholas Braun, Michael Angelo Covino (also the director and co-writer), and actor/writer Kyle Marvin. The comedy, which follows an open marriage that goes awry, debuted in May at the Cannes Film Festival and opens in theaters nationwide on Sept. 5. Though it's rare for the mother and daughter to show up together at high-profile events, Griffith has shown herself to be an ardent supporter of her daughter's career. At an early press screening of "The Materialists" that USA TODAY attended in May, Johnson told the crowd in the intimate West Hollywood screening room that, though she was under the weather and unable to stick around for the entire event, her mother and her older brother, Jesse Johnson, were staying to watch the Celine Song film. A segment of Johnson's career where Griffith's support wavered, however, was the "Fifty Shades" franchise that made Johnson a box office star. "I don't think I can watch R-rated Fifty Shades of Grey," Griffith said in a live interview on the red carpet for the 2015 Academy Awards, adding: "I think it will be strange." The clip went viral as Johnson looked offended while standing next to her mother. "No, I don't think so; I think it's fine," Johnson said. "I think that one day you can see it." In a 2014 sit-down with Mario Lopez for Extra TV, Griffith said, "I'm never going to see the movie myself. I don't think Don will ever see the movie. It will just be too awkward." But by 2016, Griffith revealed she'd taken a peek at "Fifty Shades," telling E! News that she'd seen "a little bit" of the film. "I just can't quite bring myself to watch the love scenes," she said.
