Behold: Dakota Johnson’s Beauty Evolution, from California Girl-Next-Door to Full-Blown Movie Star
By now, Dakota Johnson has all but solidified her signature look: long, chestnut locks paired with blunt bangs, a subtle smokey eye, and berry-hued lips. Hey, if you know what works for you, why mess with it? But, this wasn’t always the case. Years before she became a Hollywood A-lister thanks to her very high profile role in the Fifty Shades franchise, Johnson was your typical California girl-next-door, complete with wavy blonde hair and the occasional red lip. Here, in honor of her 29th birthday, a look back at the actress’ beauty transformation over the years.
