Dakota Johnson: Only she manages to make a black bandeau dress look both elegant and casual

Dakota Johnson: Only she manages to make a black bandeau dress look both elegant and casual

Dakota Johnson: Her black bandeau dress is anything but simple.

Anyone who chooses shoes with spikes has a point! The studs or sole tips aren't just for fun – they serve an important function. They provide grip on slippery surfaces. This applies to both icy conditions in the mountains and tartan tracks in athletics .

Spikes on dresses, however, are a completely different story. They don't serve any real function—they're mostly purely aesthetic. But they're impressively successful. The best example of this? The black bustier dress that Dakota Johnson presented at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic.

This detail makes her black bandeau dress so brilliant

The dress in question is said to be a bustier design by Mugler , with a skirt that reaches roughly to the ankle and a bodice that resembles a corset. The bustier features spikes on the sides that reach just below the armpits.

A small detail that gives the otherwise simple black dress a special touch, as the spikes make it appear more elegant and almost avant-garde.

With simple black pumps and elegant jewelry, the actress perfectly rounded off her award-winning look. Yet, despite all the elegance, Dakota Johnson's outfit also managed to feel casual and relaxed—a combination at which Dakota Johnson is truly a master.

One reason for this effect may be her signature hairstyle : long, loose hair with bangs, styled naturally but still looking as if the Hollywood star had just gotten out of bed. Effortless chic at its finest.

Another reason will certainly be the actress's charisma, with which she manages to give every look something very special - be it jeans and sneakers , a beach look with a bikini or a red carpet gown .
