Dakota Johnson steals the show by showing off her body art collection

In public appearances by celebrities, it is very common to look at what they are wearing: clothes, shoes and accessories in general, as these are elements that set trends and serve as a direct reference for their followers.

But in the case of Dakota Johnson, there is something else that ends up catching the eye.

Beyond fashion, she also draws attention for her collection of body art: her tattoos.

For many they may be just details on the skin, but for her they work as a subtle distinctive sign that changes the way her image is perceived.

And this was made clear again at the 2026 TIME 100 gala.

Johnson arrived at the event in a grey Valentino dress, which is no small choice considering that the label is one of the most sought-after in the industry. The look was completed with crystal-embellished snakeskin mule sandals, also from the same fashion house, maintaining an elegant and understated aesthetic.

However, among the sophistication of the ensemble, there was one detail that ended up catching the eye.

One of the details that caught the eye was the tattoo on her right foot, visible as she walked, with the phrase "Look at the Moon".

But these kinds of moments are not new in his public history.

Other events where he has attracted attention:

At the Venice Film Festival 2015, her backless dress revealed one of her most recognizable tattoos: three swallows in flight, a piece that has been interpreted as a tribute to her grandmother.

Years later, at the 2019 Film Independent Spirit Awards, a strapless dress allowed a small tattoo on the back of her right arm with the phrase "I love you" to be seen, which at the time generated conversation about her personal life.

And when you look at these moments together, a pattern emerges.

For years, tattoos on public figures were seen with a certain stigma or as a rebellious gesture. But over time, that perception has changed.

In Johnson's case, his tattoos have become more than just marks on his skin: they are a distinctive feature.

So, while for many a good outfit is just a complement to their image, in Dakota's case her tattoos have become a key part of her style.
