The Best Celebrity for Approachable Outfit Ideas 

A couple weeks ago, while perusing through a slew of celebrity photos as I usually do on Monday mornings, I noticed myself having a repeated feeling every time one came up of Dakota Johnson. I’d examine her outfit, noting how put-together she looked, and then mentally kick myself upon realizing that I actually owned similar versions of most of the pieces she was wearing but clearly was not combining them quite like her. My off-the-shoulder top, matching set, top-handle bag, and more had all been styled in vain—but not anymore.

This experience made me realize that Johnson’s style is actually quite relatable and easy to re-create. She’s like all of us girls, but the 2.0 version. All you need to do is examine her looks and, for lack of a better word, copy them.

So without further ado, see the stylish yet approachable Dakota Johnson outfits we’ll be trying first below!

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
