Dakota Johnson gives savage response when asked why she goes 'naked' on red carpets
Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson hit back with a candid response in a new interview that saw her asked about some of the 'revealing fashion choices' she's made on red carpets over the years.
Johnson, 36, is far from the first celebrity to wear a so-called 'naked' dress at star-studded events, with Zendaya, Zoë Kravitz and Bella Hadid also among those who have opted for more revealing designs in front of the cameras.
Some of these looks are more daring than others - with Bianca Censori famously wearing a completely sheer dress at the Grammys - and just last month Johnson showed off high-neck, long-sleeved black Gucci dress that just so happened to completely see-through.
The actor discussed such looks in a new interview with Vogue Germany, where she was asked: "Over the years, you've made some revealing fashion choices. Do you ever worry about whether a naked dress might be 'too sexy'?"

Whether you believe there's such a thing as 'too sexy' or not, Johnson made her thoughts clear with her straight-to-the-point response: "I really don't care."
The star went on to stress that as long as she feels comfortable in a dress, she's happy to give it a whirl.
Johnson explained: "I've been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them. Sometimes those dresses look good on me. But there are also some we've tried on that didn't look good at all.
"It depends on the shape, the finish, the color, and everything else. So if I find a beautiful dress that I feel comfortable in, of course I want to wear it! And it's fun to wear a sexy dress."
Johnson's discussion of her fashion choices came after she explained that she'd been taught from a young age to be proud of her body, thanks to her mom being 'very open about the topic of bodies'.
"She taught us how to take care of our bodies and love them, and that our bodies are beautiful," she said. "And I think that's something really important for a young girl because we're constantly told that we're not good enough. And if you're not told from a young age by the woman you look up to the most that you're perfect and smart and special and strong and brave, it can really break you.
"It's hard to re-teach yourself that love later on. That was a huge gift she gave me."
