Dakota Johnson suffers wardrobe malfunction during interview: ‘It just fell off’

Dakota Johnson narrowly avoided an embarrassing moment on live television when she experienced a wardrobe malfunction during her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Wednesday. Johnson, daughter of Hollywood stars Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, was promoting her upcoming film “Daddio,” which also stars Sean Penn.

The incident occurred after a commercial break, as the show returned with a preview of “Daddio” before cutting back to a wide shot of Johnson and host Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel quickly noticed the issue and alerted Johnson, saying, “Dakota, your dress just came unhooked.” The actress, maintaining her composure, clutched the detached metal strap of her black dress and responded, “My dress just – it just fell off,” with a smile.

Kimmel, trying to lighten the mood, asked, “Should I get some scotch tape?” Johnson reassured him and the audience, “Well, I’ll just hold it,” but her eyes remained fixated on the broken strap, attempting to gauge how secure it was.

In a moment of levity, Kimmel joked, “Just hold the important part,” prompting Johnson to cheekily place her hands on her chest, much to the amusement of the audience. Despite the wardrobe mishap, Johnson continued the interview with grace and professionalism, never allowing the dress to fall completely.

Throughout the segment, Johnson continued to adjust her dress, displaying remarkable poise under the circumstances. Fans took to the comments section of Kimmel’s YouTube channel to praise her handling of the situation. “Dakota did a really good job managing the outfit malfunction. Her stylist, on the other hand, needs to do a better job of choosing outfits that do not fall apart,” one viewer wrote. Another commented, “Dakota is so calm and professional. The show must go on. Love her. Can’t wait to see this film.”

However, not all feedback was positive. Some viewers questioned why the moment was left in the show, especially since “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is a pre-recorded program. “That was poor. I mean she’s great, but couldn’t you slip in a commercial break and let her fix the dress?” one person said. Another added, “It’s a pre-recorded show. Just let the lady get the wardrobe sorted so she can focus on the interview!”

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Johnson’s upcoming film “Daddio” remains highly anticipated. The film, which features her alongside Sean Penn, has generated buzz for its intriguing premise and star-studded cast. Johnson’s ability to handle an unexpected situation with such grace only adds to her reputation as a consummate professional in Hollywood.

In the world of live television, unexpected moments are par for the course, and Johnson’s recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is a testament to her ability to navigate them with humor and poise. As fans eagerly await the release of “Daddio,” Johnson’s recent experience on the show will likely be remembered as just another charming chapter in her career.
