Dakota Johnson played it safe at her first Met Gala. She wore a sleeveless Jason Wu gown with a sparkling bodice and full skirt, and accessorized with black gloves.

She stepped it up in 2016 with a black, sleeveless Gucci gown that had green lace across its neckline and a bold, colorful star print down its skirt.

But she actually wore a more daring look the year before. At the 2015 Met Gala, Johnson walked the red carpet in a Chanel minidress covered in tiny metallic squares.

Johnson experimented with a deeper neckline and bold ruffles in 2017. Her black Gucci gown had flower-shaped ruffles at her shoulders, satin straps across her chest and waist, and a skirt that extended into a train.

Her most vibrant — and arguably stunning — look was in 2019. Johnson attended that year in a sparkling, fuchsia Gucci gown with sheer long sleeves, a see-through skirt, and a bleeding heart made from sequins in the center of its bodice.

The actress wore her most daring Met Gala look to date this year. She walked the 2022 red carpet in a see-through catsuit made from black lace. The Gucci design also had sparkling-silver fringe attached from top to bottom.
