Dakota Johnson is turning up the heat in the first trailer for “Verity,” stepping into a dangerously plunging red Versace dress for one of the psychological thriller’s steamiest moments. Johnson stars as Lowen Ashleigh in the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. She shares the screen with Anne Hathaway as Verity Crawford. While the trailer offers a first glimpse at the dark and twisted story, Johnson’s plunging red dress makes a statement of its own.
Dakota Johnson sizzles in red-hot plunging Versace slip dress in ‘Verity’ trailer
Dakota Johnson slips into a Versace ribbed-knit midi dress, reportedly priced at $1,170. The fiery red number features an ultra-plunging V-shaped neckline that dips toward her chest, while skinny straps decorated with Versace’s signature silver-tone safety-pin hardware add another daring detail. Its figure-hugging ribbed construction skims Johnson’s figure before falling into a sleek midi-length hem.
Johnson wears the dress during an intimate moment with the character Verity’s husband, Jeremy Crawford, played by Josh Hartnett. The scene shows the pair getting close, with Johnson wrapping her arms around him as the sexual tension between their characters builds.
The choice of red feels particularly significant within “Verity”‘s dark world. Throughout the trailer, the color appears tied to danger, desire, and violence. Anne Hathaway’s Verity is also associated with striking red looks, including red clothing and lipstick, making the shade a prominent part of the trailer. By putting Johnson’s character Lowen in a red dress as she gets close to Jeremy seemingly brings her into that same dangerous territory.
Johnson keeps the styling of the dress relatively minimal, allowing its plunging neckline and other bold elements to command attention. Her dark hair, complete with blunt bangs, falls around her shoulders, complementing the sultry mood of the scene.
Between its dangerous proportions and symbolic red hue, Johnson’s Versace dress delivers one of the trailer’s most memorable fashion moments while fitting perfectly into “Verity”‘s seductive psychological drama.
