I've got a confession to make. While many of us have long known Dakota Johnson has a flair for style, there's no denying I have occasionally overlooked her day-to-day outfits. A crime, I know. I'm set about rectifying that, and having since analysed Dakota's most recent looks (all of which have been on point), I felt compelled to share them with you.
With the ability to carry off prim dresses with the same skill as studded biker jackets and distressed denim, it's clear Dakota has as much It-girl clout as the likes of Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller. However, you don't need endless amounts of clothes to replicate her wares. In fact, Dakota heavily relies on just six items, each of which work hard to make her ensembles look 10/10.
Keep scrolling to see and shop Dakota Johnson's capsule wardrobe and she'll soon be your new style crush, too.
1. HIGH-RISE JEANS
Style Notes: Dakota could carry off any jean she likes, but like many of us, she seldom deviates from high-waist, straight-leg styles in vintage-wash blue.

2. MINIMAL MULES
Style Notes: Day or night, Dakota uses minimal-strap mules to give her outfits effortless polish. We're particularly fond of her satin pair.

3. FLORAL FROCKS
Style Notes: Dakota knows that florals are forever, and often chooses dresses with the motif in striking green hues, which beautifully offset her alabaster skin and dark hair.
