Dakota Johnson’s latest red carpet look proves pelvis cutouts are back
Pelvis cutouts are back, for better or worse.
Dakota Johnson touched down in Saudi Arabia for the 2025 Red Sea International Film Festival on Thursday night wearing a dress befitting of Holly Golightly if she had been a present-day style star.
Johnson’s black custom Alessandra Rich gown featured a strapless bustier top with a plunging neckline, secured by a single bow to a long, slim skirted bottom with an up-to-there front slit.
The skirt and top were connected by a bow at her navel for a skin-baring look; the one-piece boasted cutouts that fell just below the actress’ hips.
She wore simple black patent slingback pumps from Paris Texas ($695), with a Jenny Bird anklet ($118) on her right leg.
Around her neck was a Chopard bib necklace that was — quite literally — dripping in diamonds, matching her diamond chandelier earrings, also from the designer jewelry house.
Chopard is the film festival’s official partner, so it’s a sure bet that the brunette actress had her pick of pricey jewels to add tons of sparkle to her classic black dress.
The last time pelvic cutouts had a moment in the style spotlight was in 2021, when Kim Kardashian raised eyebrows during a visit to the Vatican in a sheer white lace look from Barragán.
Vanessa Hudgens, Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Rihanna took similar hip-highlighting styles for a spin that year.
As for Johnson, she traded in her signature sheer red carpet style for the evening but still found a way to show a little skin.
Johnson is well-known for wearing see-through silhouettes, though she clapped back at critics of her wardrobe choices this past fall.
“I really don’t care,” the 36-year-old shared in an interview with Vogue Germany, adding, “If I find a beautiful dress that I feel comfortable in, of course I want to wear it!”
