Dakota Johnson might have gone full super sexy smoke-show for the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise films, but IRL, her fashion choices are all about understated elegance. The 34-year-old American actress loves a classic head-to-toe black 'fit (as exemplified by her recent outing with BFF Sophie Turner), boho knitted dresses for festivals, crystal-covered dresses for glitzy parties, jeans and parkas for winter walks with Gwyneth Paltrow, and on the red carpet, she's all about super-chic designer gowns.
Which is why we're absolutely *loving* seeing the star go out of her fashion comfort zone and wearing a variety of naked dressing-inspired 'fits for once! The occasion? A photoshoot to celebrate Dakota's Saturday Night Live appearance over the weekend – and trust us when we say it's EPIC.
Celebrity super-stylist Kate Young shared the pics on Instagram, and fans went understandably wild for Dakota's new sexy look...
In what has to be her most naked shoot to date, Dakota tried multiple naked trends on for size in one fell swoop. First up, the celebrity-loved "no trousers" trend that's been everywhere lately – and that Dakota nailed on her first try, wearing a black high-leg bodysuit, sheer black tights, high heels and a glamorous white ostrich-feather jacket draped over her shoulders. Simply divine.
The second pic in the Insta carousel shows Dakota ditch the jacket and pose in just her bodysuit and tights – with an apple balanced on her head (no, we have no idea either...). The actress then changed into a totally see-through black lace bodysuit that she wore braless with just a pair of black knickers underneath, while holding a dramatic feather fan. And, finally, the coup de grâce: a skintight black dress with extreme cut-outs all over the front, hip and leg slits, and a hint of underboob to boot.

And as if all this wasn't enough, Dakota then rocked a plunging bodysuit for the actual SNL filming, before heading to the after-party in a see-through sequin maxi dress that showed off her underwear beneath.
This confirms it: Dakota has officially entered her sexy dressing era, and we can't wait to see what's next!
