Dakota Johnson's hilarious solution to near wardrobe malfunction
Don't miss out on the headlines from Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. Dakota Johnson nearly had a wardrobe malfunction during a late-night TV appearance. On Monday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Johnson — who was wearing a black mini-dress with a plunging neckline — instantly regretted her decision. 'Oh God,' said Johnson, who was promoting her new film The Materialists. 'This is the wrong outfit.' 'No, no. I think it's perfect, you look great,' Fallon said. 'Just don't move.' 'My eyes are up here,' she joked. A dazed and confused Fallon playfully looked up to the ceiling and said, 'I don't know what to do. I'm confused.' After the TV host redirected the conversation, Johnson was still concerned about the possible malfunction. 'Tell me if there's a problem,' she said. 'Right now, there's not a problem,' Fallon quipped. 'There's almost a problem, but not quite — it's just … everything is going according to plan.' 'Does anyone have like, a blanket I could wear?' Johnson asked. Johnson was worried about falling out of her dress. Photo: YouTube That'll do it! Photo: YouTube Jimmy Fallon is nothing if not a problem solver.

'Dakota, your dress just came unhooked,' Kimmel said to Johnson, who tried to maintain her poise as she clutched the detached metal strap of her black dress. 'Should I get some scotch tape?' Kimmel inquired. 'My dress just – it just fell off,' Johnson said, astounded, but with a smile on her face. 'It seems to be hanging in all right?' Kimmel countered. 'Well, I'll just hold it,' Johnson said, continuing the conversation in stride. 'Just hold the important part,' Kimmel joked. Johnson cheekily placed her hands on her chest, much to the amusement of the audience. 'The movie is really good,' she noted.

Dakota Johnson distances herself from Marvel's Madame Web flop, says ‘It wasn't my fault'
With The Materialists gearing up for its release this month, Dakota Johnson is once again dominating headlines — but not just for her onscreen chemistry with Chris Evans and internet heartthrob Pedro Pascal. The buzz surrounding her latest project has reignited a less flattering conversation: Dakota Johnson's track record at the box office. While the upcoming rom-com might finally give her a commercial win, many are still looking back at Spider-Man spinoff Madame Web, one of 2024's most notorious flops — and Johnson has some pointed thoughts about why it failed. In a recent interview, Johnson addressed the elephant in the room with a laugh, saying bluntly: 'It wasn't my fault.' That line alone has sparked a media frenzy, as the actor shifts the blame from herself to the broader industry dynamics that she believes doomed Madame Web from the start. 'There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee,' she said. '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.' In Madame Web, Johnson starred as Cassandra Webb, a New York City paramedic who discovers she can see the future and must protect three teenage girls — future Spider-Women — from a villainous Ezekiel Sims. Despite a promising premise and a cast that included breakout names, the film bombed both critically and commercially. It went on to collect a trio of Golden Raspberry (Razzie) Awards in early 2025, including Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Actress for Johnson herself — a trifecta no actor dreams of. And yet, Johnson seems unfazed as she brushed off the backlash with a shrug: 'I don't have a Band-Aid over it,' she said. '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?' That devil-may-care attitude may come off as refreshing honesty — or deflection, depending on who you ask. Critics have noted that Johnson, despite her famous lineage as the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith (and granddaughter of Tippi Hedren), has struggled to find her footing post-Fifty Shades. Films like Persuasion (2022) and The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) earned praise, but commercially, her record is patchy at best. Naturally, now the stakes are high with The Materialists, a glitzy rom-com that might just mark Johnson's rare win in mainstream cinema.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin call it quits after nearly 8 years: ‘It feels final this time'
LOS ANGELES, June 5: Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly ended their nearly eight-year on-and-off relationship, multiple sources tell People. "It feels final this time," one source said about the split. Representatives for both Johnson and Martin did not respond to requests for comment. The actress, 35, known for her role in The Materialists, and Coldplay's lead singer, 48, were first linked romantically in 2017. They were recently seen together in Malibu on May 16, just two weeks ago. Earlier this year in January, the couple was also spotted holding hands in India while Martin was on tour. In March 2024, an insider revealed to People that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for "years," after engagement rumors first surfaced in 2020. However, they were reportedly 'in no rush to get married' at that time. When rumors of a breakup emerged in August 2024, a representative for Johnson denied the claims, stating the couple was "happily together." A source added, "Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can." The couple has largely kept their relationship private, but in June 2024, a source noted that despite their "ups and downs," they were 'definitely back on.' Johnson has spoken warmly about her role in the lives of Martin's two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, son Moses and daughter Apple, now 19 and 21. "I love those kids like my life depends on it," Johnson told Bustle. "With all my heart." She also shared her admiration for watching Martin perform, saying, "I don't know. I love watching him. I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing." As Johnson promotes her upcoming film Materialists, in which she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, she reflected on relationships in an interview with the Los Angeles Times published June 4. "For a long time we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world. When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad?" she said. "Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter."

‘It feels final': Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin 'split' after eight years together
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly called time on their relationship, with sources close to the couple saying the split 'feels final this time.' The Fifty Shades of Grey actress, 35, and Coldplay frontman, 48, were first linked in 2017 and have shared a home in Malibu for several years. They were last seen together publicly in May, and before that, during a trip to India in January. Johnson appeared to allude to the reported break-up in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times when reflecting on her new role in The Materialists. When asked what made the role 'feel different for her,' Johnson replied: 'The complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. 'Everyone being confused about what the f**k 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.' She added: 'For a long time, we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world, when people should get married, divorce is bad. 'All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter.' The couple's romance has had its share of ups and downs over the years. In 2019, they reportedly briefly split before rekindling things later that year, sparking engagement rumours. By 2024, sources claimed the pair had been engaged for six years but were 'in no rush to get married.' Then last August, rumours of a split resurfaced — but Johnson's rep dismissed the speculation, telling Page Six the couple were 'happily together.' Despite being seen wearing an emerald ring and dismissing split rumours last summer, a source admitted the couple had 'had issues and taken breaks in the past,' citing their busy schedules and 'are balancing things the best they can.' Neither has publicly confirmed the latest reported break-up. The Standard has contacted Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin's reps for comment.
