Dakota Johnson Smolders in All-Black for W Magazine – Chic & Unstoppable
Dakota Johnson was one of the front-row stars at Calvin Klein’s Fall 2026 runway show, and she made her mark with effortless style. Sitting in prime seats at The Shed in New York, Johnson kept it simple yet chic, choosing a drapey skirt suit from creative director Veronica Leoni’s previous collection. “It was the first thing that I tried on. I liked it, so then I chose it,” Johnson told W Magazine, showing her relaxed approach to fashion.
The show’s front row was packed with talent, including Jodie Turner-Smith, Lily Collins, and Myha’la Herrold. Johnson was seated between veteran actress Brooke Shields and Blackpink’s Jennie. “We just met and she’s so sweet,” Johnson said about meeting the K-pop star just minutes before the show began.

Leoni’s Fall 2026 collection brought back designs inspired by Calvin Klein’s late ’70s and early ’80s archives. The pieces balanced modesty in the front with daring details in the back, using sheer panels and cutouts to create a subtle sense of sensuality. “It’s so classic and I think it’s just so chic. Veronica is so talented,” Johnson said. “There are so many pieces in this collection that I’m excited about.”
