July 2025 - Fashion

During the Cannes Film Festival, Dakota Johnson stepped out in a sheer silver Gucci gown for the Kering Women in Motion Awards, an event that honours women’s contributions to film. The actor finished off her look with statement earrings and her signature shaggy bangs. The semi-sheer slip dress could have challenged the film festival’s newly-implemented naked dress ban, but lucky for Johnson, 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.

Sadie Sink had a major night at the 2025 Tony Awards, nominated for her compelling performance in John Proctor Is the Villain. While all eyes were already on her for the career milestone, her fashion moment made just as much impact. Sadie’s gown brings her back to the more delicate, romantic side of her style after her recent goth era, though she did carry a little of that over with a deep cherry lip. The contrast made the look feel youthful but sophisticated—full of personality, yet elegant.
