We all know Dakota Johnson loves a sheer moment, but she’s also someone who enjoys sleek, chic minimalism where it matters. Appearing at the Zurich Film Festival this week, Johnson opted for the latter approach, and wore one of fall’s emerging, most ladylike and sophisticated trends.
Johnson, styled by Kate Young, took to the stage in Switzerland in look 39 from Maximilian Davis’s Ferragamo fall 2025 collection: a steel gray sweater in a draped, almost silky fabric that featured a black silk cape, and a black structured mini skirt. She styled it with silver drop earrings, sheer black tights, and chunky platform boots by Saint Laurent.
The cape (and stole, poncho, and pashmina) is having a bit of a comeback this season, spotted across the fall 2025 runways. At Chloé, it’s decidedly more boho, in creams, ruffles, and sinewy fabrics. Scarf coats and draped, layered outerwear were also found at Calvin Klein, Burberry, and Bottega Veneta. Jennifer Lawrence was photographed recently wearing a furry midnight blue stole over her top and jeans in a fun, high-low take, while Kendall Jenner opted for a striking leather jacket with a draped overlay by Phoebe Philo. And of course, if you go vintage, you’ll find a treasure trove of capes from Hermès and sculpturally layered jackets from Yohji Yamamoto and Rick Owens.
Johnson was appearing Zurich Film Festival to receive the Golden Eye Award and to present her latest movie, Splitsville. On the first evening, she opted for her go-to naked dress style and wore a custom, electric blue-toned Gucci dress with a sheer, embroidered top half and drop waist. It was, with its full skirt and long sleeves, what some might say is a season-appropriate update to the beloved sheer dress trend, which isn’t going away anytime soon, thanks to Dakota Johnson, Margot Robbie, et al.
