If you’re thinking about packing for an early summer getaway, Dakota Johnson shows that a bold-colored slip dress is all you need.

Lean Into Lace
If you want a fresh take on lingerie-inspired dressing, try a full lace slip like Zoë Kravitz instead of the usual silky or satin versions. The actress mixed contrasting ochre tones and added more texture with a knitted cardigan, PVC pumps, and a suede envelope clutch for extra impact. The look feels refined and put together, yet still has that subtly undone vibe she’s known for.
