Dakota Johnson Realized This Outfit Mistake Mid-Interview — And Her Reaction Was Priceless
Houston, we have a fashion problem — and Dakota Johnson was at its epicenter.
Appearing on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, Johnson experienced a wardrobe snafu that left little to the imagination. As she took her seat on set, the actor had a moment of sartorial reckoning — the kind no one hopes to have while on national television.
'This is the wrong outfit,' Johnson confessed to Fallon.
'I think it's perfect,' he replied with reassuring oblivion.
As visible discomfort crept in, Johnson could be seen subtly — then not-so-subtly — adjusting her garment, clearly attempting to renegotiate peace with her stylistic decision. The little black number donned featured a plunging neckline that might have been visible from outer space.
'My eyes are up here,' she joked, expertly disarming the room with her wit.
Though the conversation veered toward nostalgia — the pair reminiscing about their last encounter — Johnson's outfit remained the unspoken third guest. She repeatedly tugged at the fabric with the quiet desperation of someone determined to preserve both modesty and sanity. Leaning toward Fallon for solidarity, she asked if there was a 'problem' with the outfit — presumably fearing that America was on the verge of an accidental peep show. Maintaining an upright and composed posture, she did her best to outwit gravity.
'Does anyone have a blanket I could wear?' she joked, trying to ease the tension.
Ever the improviser, Fallon handed her a napkin — a gesture noble in intent, if not in scale. Draped over her neckline, it resembled less garment and more a toddler's bib. Fallon, clearly torn between gallantry and aesthetic preservation, admitted he didn't want to 'ruin' her outfit.
When Johnson eventually removed the napkin, she teasingly asked if he wanted to 'keep it.' Without missing a moment, Fallon replied that he planned to auction it on eBay.

Dakota Johnson blames Madame Web flop on people ‘who don't have a creative bone in their body'
Dakota Johnson has laid the blame for Madame Web's dismal showing at the box office squarely at the feet of people at studios who 'don't have a creative bone in their body'. Johnson played Cassandra Webb, a New York paramedic who crosses paths with three young women, played by Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O'Connor, whom she must protect from a mysterious adversary who wants them destroyed. 'It wasn't my fault,' Johnson told the Los Angeles Times about the film flopping. 'There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way.' 'And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.' The Daddio actor has spoken previously about 'drastic changes' made to the script after she had signed on, as well as her unhappiness at creative choices being made by executives at Hollywood. 'Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms,' she said in March last year. 'My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they're not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bulls***. Even if films start to be made with [artificial intelligence], humans aren't going to f***ing want to see those.' The Independent has reached out to Sony Pictures for comment. However, Johnson may have relented on never starring in superhero films. She said last year that she 'probably will never do anything like it again because I don't make sense in that world'. She has told the LA Times now that she doesn't 'have a Band-Aid over it'. 'There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' The Independent's Clarrise Loughrey labeled Madame Web 'a desperate comic book misfire that seems embarrassed by its own existence,' in her one-star review. Johnson will be seen next in Celine Song's Materialists, where she stars opposite Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, as a New York City matchmaker who finds herself 'torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex'. The A24 film, set to be released internationally on 15 August, has garnered much buzz online, where fans have celebrated it for being a return to the style of the classic 90s' romantic comedy.

Dakota Johnson Says ‘Madame Web' Flop ‘Wasn't My Fault': Decisions Are Made in Hollywood by ‘People Who Don't Have a Creative Bone in Their Body'
Dakota Johnson recently told the Los Angeles Times on her 'Materialists' press tour that 'Madame Web' flopping with critics and audiences wasn't her fault. The Sony-backed comic book movie was a notorious punching bag in winter 2024, earning a dismal $43 million at the domestic box office and an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Johnson headlined the film as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who gains the ability to see the future after a near-death experience. 'It wasn't my fault,' Johnson said about the movie. 'There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way. And I think unfortunately with 'Madame Web,' it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.'

As she explained: 'I don't have a Band-Aid over it. There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' The actor told Bustle last year a few weeks after 'Madame Web' nosedived in theaters that 'films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they're not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit.' Johnson is currently out on a press tour for 'Materialists,' the new A24 film from 'Past Lives' Oscar nominee Celine Song. Johnson stars opposite Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in the movie, which both embraces and subverts the romantic-comedy genre. It's Johnson's first rom-com since 2016's 'How to Be Single,' although that's not for lack of trying. 'They're not good,' Johnson said about all the rom-com scripts that came her way over the years. 'Sorry. I think a lot of what I read these days is void of soul and heart. And Celine is all soul and heart. I really love a rom-com if it feels like I can connect to the people in it. And I think I've found it hard to connect to the people in some of the ones that I've been offered.' 'Materialists' felt different for Johnson because of 'the complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. Everyone being confused about what the fuck they're supposed to do with their hearts. And what's the right move? I found that very honest and I found it just so relatable.' 'Materialists' opens in theaters June 10 from A24. Head over to the Los Angeles Times' website to read more from Johnson's latest interview.

Belmont at Saratoga is a draw, but keeping the Triple Crown relevant remains a concern
Racetracks like Saratoga have attempted to make the weekend a spectacle, with bands and activities throughout the races in hopes of showing the greatness of horse racing and what a day at the track looks like. Advertisement 'It's a great day out, lots of excitement,' said Michael Banahan of Godolphin, who owns Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The outreach extends beyond the track. Places like America's Best Racing are working to educate casual fans about everything from betting to how well horses are taken care of and what to expect on race day. It has connected with celebrities and influencers to get them involved in horse racing. That most recently included TikTok star Griffin Johnson, who was given a small ownership stake in Derby and Preakness horse Sandman. Advertisement Johnson showed himself getting ready for the races, bathing Sandman and showing what the colt does on his off day. Through this, the combined accounts of ABR and Johnson totaled 268 million-plus impressions and 111 million views. 'It's great to have another young horse racing fan in the room,' said ABR's director of digital marketing, Rachel Miller. 'But, obviously, the same formula isn't going to work forever. It's going to reach a point where maybe Griffin's involvement in racing may stall out or Sandman's not racing anymore. There are just so many unknown variables, especially in this sport, and that's one of the harder sells.' There's another option to draw more viewers, but it's controversial. Kentucky Derby champion Sovereignty gets in some work Thursday in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Seth Wenig/Associated Press Ever since Banahan believes spacing out the legs for more rest could attract higher-caliber horses, with more of a chance of the Kentucky Derby winner running, raising interest. 'I'm not too sure if that'll be the case or not,' Banahan said. 'I think the quality of racing is probably what draws people in. I think if we get better horses in all those races, I think they'll get the casual to tune into those as well. Good competition, good horses in there, that happens by having a little more time between to rest. That'll be good for us.' Not everyone agrees that extending the time in between races would increase viewership. Trainer Chad Brown, who has Hill Road in the Belmont, thinks extending the time in between races actually will hurt the Triple Crown. Advertisement 'I think if you start spreading it out, you run the risk of losing everyone's attention, too,' Brown said. 'That's a long time for everyone to be invested in watching how this turns out. I think that the average sports fan moves on from sport to sport throughout the year. 'I think we have to be happy that we have some of them just for the Triple Crown, even if we can't get them all the way through the bigger stuff. I think extending events runs risks for that.'
