On Sunday, the star lit up the red carpet at the Kering Women in Motion Awards in Cannes in a glittering Gucci gown.
The semi-sheer slipdress could have challenged the film festival’s newly-implemented naked dress ban, but lucky for Johsnon, the ban only applies to the festival’s official red carpets and as opposed to the surrounding soirees, leaving the star free to don the beaded crystal creation. The piece featured a sporty, halter-like neckline, as well as a fitted bodice and a see-through skirt.
The Fifty Shades of Grey star topped off the look with her hair pulled back in an effortless pony and sported soft, smokey eye makeup. She accessorized the dazzling dress with simple silver sandals and equally shiny, oversize snowflake-like Boucheron earrings.
A fan of the naked dress, this isn’t the first time Johnson—who stars alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in the highly-anticipated Materialists— has turned to Gucci for a glittering illusion gown.

Last year, Johnson wore a more revealing version of the naked dress for the 2024 premiere of Madame Web in Los Angeles. The loosely-netted crystal creation, mimicking that of a spider web in reference to her Marvel character, boasted a plunging neckline that slinked over the star’s body, and an open back. Similar to her Cannes look, she styled the netted naked dress with simple sandals, but opted for a thin diamond choker necklace instead of statement earrings.
