Margot Robbie and Dakota Johnson Turn Heads in Sheer Couture Looks at London Premiere and New York Gala

By: Shawn
‎The red carpet saw bold fashion statements on Thursday as Margot Robbie and Dakota Johnson delivered two striking takes on the sheer dressing trend at separate events.
‎
‎Robbie, the Barbie star, producer, and new mother, appeared at the London premiere of her film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey wearing a sheer Giorgio Armani Privé gown from the Spring 2025 couture collection. The choice carried extra significance as it came just days after the passing of Giorgio Armani at age 91, serving as both a daring and heartfelt tribute.

The standout moment arrived when Robbie turned to reveal a dramatic back design, with delicate spaghetti straps crossing to frame a jewel-shaped pendant, paired with a nearly bare backside that captivated photographers.
