“My dress just – it just fell off,” Johnson said
Dakota Johnson narrowly avoided an embarrassing moment on television during her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this Wednesday. The “Fifty Shades of Grey” star, known for her poise and professionalism, faced an unexpected wardrobe malfunction while promoting her upcoming film, “Daddio,” which co-stars Sean Penn.
During the interview, after a commercial break, a preview of “Daddio” was aired before cutting back to a wide shot of Johnson and the late-night host. It was then that Jimmy Kimmel noticed something amiss with Johnson’s attire.
“Your Dress Just Came Unhooked,” Kimmel Noted
“Dakota, your dress just came unhooked,” Kimmel pointed out as Johnson clutched the detached metal strap of her black dress. The actress, trying to maintain her composure, responded with a mix of surprise and humor. “Should I get some scotch tape?” Kimmel inquired, attempting to lighten the moment.
“My dress just – it just fell off,” Johnson said, clearly astounded but still managing to smile through the mishap.
“It seems to be hanging in all right?” Kimmel reassured her.
“Well, I’ll just hold it,” Johnson replied, continuing the conversation without missing a beat.
Throughout the interview, Johnson’s eyes remained fixated on the broken strap, assessing its stability. Despite the mishap, she kept her cool, much to the audience’s amusement. Kimmel tried to ease the tension by joking, “Just hold the important part.”
Johnson, taking it in stride, cheekily placed her hands on her chest, sparking laughter from the audience. She then shifted the focus back to her film, noting, “The movie is really good.”
Throughout the interview, the “Fifty Shades of Grey” star continued to fiddle with her dress. However, it never fell completely, showcasing her ability to handle the situation with grace.
Audience Reactions to Johnson’s Poise
Fans praised Johnson for her professionalism in the comments section of Kimmel’s YouTube channel. One viewer commented, “Dakota did a really good job managing the outfit malfunction. Her stylist, on the other hand, needs to do a better job of choosing outfits that do not fall apart.” Another shared, “Dakota is so calm and professional. The show must go on. Love her. Can’t wait to see this film.”
However, some viewers questioned the decision to leave the incident in the pre-recorded show. One person remarked, “That was poor. I mean, she’s great, but couldn’t you slip in a commercial break and let her fix the dress?” Another viewer echoed this sentiment, saying, “It’s a pre-recorded show. Just let the lady get the wardrobe sorted so she can focus on the interview!”
Despite the minor hiccup, Johnson’s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” successfully generated buzz for her upcoming film “Daddio,” keeping the audience entertained and intrigued by both her professionalism and the movie’s preview.
