Dakota Johnson Walks Into Zara—This Is What She's Picking Up

Dakota Johnson's style has become iconic for a number of reasons. With a distinctly "undone" quality brought about by her signature tousled hair and a penchant for relaxed cuts, the actor strives for a timeless aesthetic whilst occasionally indulging in some new-season trends. Favouring cult designer brands such as The Row, Bottega Veneta and Alaïa, Johnson's wardrobe rotation is brimming with some of the chicest buys on the market and is enough to make any fashion editor jealous.
Having spotted her out and about at press events over the past few weeks, I'm newly inspired to emulate her covetable look, so I've taken to my favourite high-street brand, Zara, with a Johnson checklist to hand. Given what she's worn lately, I thought it would be fun to pick out the pieces I think would catch her eye in my local Zara store (wouldn't she make the perfect fantasy shopping trip buddy?).
Read on to discover my edit of the new Zara buys I could imagine Dakota Johnson wearing.
SHOP MY DAKOTA JOHNSON-INSPIRED ZARA EDIT:
Johnson loves a "naked" dress, and this sheer style fits the part.
She's already a fan of the mesh shoe trend.
With a decidedly '70s touch, I guarantee Johnson would adore these.
Cuffed jeans are having a major moment this season.
A classic trench coat is a springtime essential.
