Dakota Johnson narrowly averted an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during her recent "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" appearance on Wednesday night. Johnson was on the late-night show to promote her upcoming film, "Daddio," in which she stars alongside Sean Penn.
The incident unfolded right after the show returned from a commercial break. A preview of "Daddio" had just been aired, and as the camera panned back to the studio, it captured Johnson and host Jimmy Kimmel engaged in conversation. Suddenly, Kimmel noticed something amiss."Dakota, your dress just came unhooked," Kimmel remarked, alerting the acclaimed actress and daughter of Hollywood icons Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith to the wardrobe issue.
