The Icon Behind The Dress: New girl on the block Dakota Johnson

In February there were three recurring topics of conversation: Fifty Shades of Grey, Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. Needless to say Team LBD immediately fell in love with Dakota Johnson and her girly, flirty style, so of course we added to our Inspired by Icons LBD Collection and created a dress in her honour. Since her role as Ana in Fifty Shades Of Grey Dakota has been plunged into the public eye as the new It Girl, and with this title comes plenty more movie roles... Currently filming for her new project How to Be Single, in which she stars alongside Johnny Depp and Benedict Cumberbatch in Black Mass, we can't wait to see what the fashionista will pull out for the premieres. And she's not stopping there as she is also confirmed to do the 1969 film La Piscine (A Bigger Splash) with Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes. It seems this year is all about Dakota! Read our full style file, and see Dakota's best red carpet looks here. dakota johnson style Our favourite looks from the about-to-be-huge Hollywood star: left at the premiere of Fifty Shades of Grey with co-star Jamie Dornan and right at the Met Ball in 2014 in an incredible Jason Wu gown. So to welcome the newcomer to the fashion fold we've created a style in her name that embodies the actress' playful and ladylike style. The gorgeous new LBD Dakota Dress in the LBD SS15 Collection comes in two colours, black and nude, and is crafted from a beautiful soft-touch fabric. With an element of stretch to it, the body-hugging mini dress has been designed to hold you in place for a flawless fit, whilst the luxury lace overlay cleverly flatters by creating the illusion of an hourglass figure. With its ruffled drop-hem, the Dakota is fun and sexy and perfect for summer parties, holidays and weddings. lbd collection dakota dress With The Dakota Dress in Nude, £75, think garden parties, cocktails and weddings and style it with strappy heels (don't forget to paint those toenails!), and try a gold clutch and statement necklace to add extra glamour to your look! dakota johnson outfitShop the outfit: Fiorelli Rhea Set of 4 Matte Gold Cubic Zirconia Stacking Rings, £38, Johnny Loves Rosie Erin Elizabeth Blair Statement Necklace, £35, Aftershock London Elvie Gold Hard Case Clutch Bag, £45, Virgos Lounge Freya Shoe, £230.
