Dakota Johnson had solutions for her inappropriate ‘fit
Dakota Johnson’s inappropriate talk-show dress provided plenty of humorous content for her and Jimmy Fallon’s discussion on his late-night show. At one point, he offered the actor a tissue, which she gamely tucked into the blazer to cover her chest. After a few beats, Fallon took it back and jokingly said he planned to post it on eBay.
Later in the segment, Fallon recounted a story about Dakota’s father, famed “Miami Vice” star Don Johnson (her mother is ’80s icon Melanie Griffith). He shared how, at a dinner a few years earlier, he had complimented Don’s sage-green sweater and the next day, the actor sent it to Fallon to keep. Apparently Fallon kept it for such a moment, as he produced the sweater then and there. He said he wanted her to have it and think of him when she wore it. They suggested giving it back and forth to each other, à la “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” with Fallon dubbing their adventure the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Cardigan.” Dakota draped the sweater over herself, as it provided another cover-up. But like the tissue, she removed it moments later, putting her decolleté back on display.
Of course Dakota’s not the first, nor will she be the last, celebrity to suffer a wardrobe malfunction. So what’s the takeaway for the rest of us? For example, if you’re ready to rock the provocative negative space trend, read the tips for making it work. Or look to the ever-inspiring Princess Diana, who had a brilliant hack for avoiding wardrobe malfunctions. The late royal would use her clutch to shield her chest from paparazzi flashbulbs. Perhaps Jimmy Fallon needs to keep a spare clutch along with the sewing kit and robe behind his desk to offer stars like Dakota Johnson when there’s a nip slip brewing?
