Dakota Johnson goes daringly chic for Materialists press tour: from sheer looks by Balenciaga and accessories by Khaite and Gucci, to a jaw-dropping jewellery look worth over US$100,000
In her new movie Materialists,
Dakota Johnson is the luckiest woman on Earth. Taking on the role of a New York City matchmaker, Lucy, Johnson's character finds herself struggling to pick between the perfect man and her imperfect ex – played by two of Hollywood's hottest actors. A love triangle with Chris Evans and
Pedro Pascal is a predicament most women would find enviable.

The new romcom directed by Celine Song premieres tomorrow, June 13, and Johnson has been firing up her fashion game, stepping out in some of her boldest looks yet as she embarks on the film's promotional tour.

The 35-year-old recently also made headlines after it came out that she'd called time on her eight-year relationship with
Coldplay's Chris Martin . While the exact reasoning behind the long-time couple's split is unclear, when asked about her non-negotiables in a romantic partner during an appearance with Evans on the Today show on Monday, Johnson bluntly replied 'like, not an a******?'
Here's a look at Dakota Johnson's fashion masterclass during the Materialists press run.

Judging by her outfits, Johnson is aiming to be the ultimate cool girl this summer. She strutted around New York City looking chic in a yellow suede jacket
by Khaite , layered over a sheer black bodysuit with a plunging neckline by Commando, jeans, Gucci sunglasses and black Khaite wedges.
But if you think this is just another casual mid-day coffee-run look, you're wrong. Johnson expertly elevated her casual look with two not-so-casual necklaces by Ophelia Eve and Sophie Bille Brahe that cost well over US$100,000 combined, per InStyle.

A few days later, the Madame Web star stepped out in a monochromatic black look featuring a longline leather blazer and a sheer plunging bodysuit from Balenciaga. She completed the look with highwaisted black jeans, Khaite wedges, tiny hoop earrings and a pair of sunglasses.

Why ancient Rome is haunting contemporary America's far right
The Roman empire looms large in the imagination of American men, and the world should worry. In 2023, TikTok's algorithm uncovered a hitherto unsuspected trend emerging among Americans, mostly men, who seem to spend a lot of time thinking about ancient Rome. A more detailed analysis of TikTok data reveals they tend to favour the Roman empire over the republic, mostly because of its expanse, power and gladiators. Do they prefer imperialism over republicanism? Interestingly, for the American founders, it was the reverse. How times have changed. So it should surprise no one that powerful leaders of the American far right fret more than most about Rome. Steve Bannon, Trump's top White House adviser in his first term, has a bust of Caesar on his studio desk from where he airs his hugely influential podcast. He has read Edward Gibbon's entire History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which numbers more than 2,000 pages in the modern Penguin edition. Elon Musk once tweeted while Joe Biden was still president: 'Anyone feeling late stage empire vibes?' The self-styled 'Imperator of Mars' once used an AI generator to picture himself either as a Roman gladiator or soldier; it was hard to tell. He has named his latest son Romulus. And, fancying himself an original historical thinker, he posed a question which he probably thought had eluded scholars over centuries: 'I sometimes wonder if perhaps Rome was started by exiles from Troy. It's not completely out of the question. At some point in antiquity, a few ships of very competent soldiers … landed on the coast of Italy. Where did they come from?' Didn't a certain Roman poet named Virgil write something called the Aeneid in which the hero Aeneas fled the destroyed Troy, wandered around a bit, ended up in Italy and became the ancestor of Rome? There is even the opera Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell. But perhaps Musk preferred pop music, considering his dalliance with Canadian pop star Grimes.

Cobra Kai stunt duo on how they went from martial arts to Hollywood
Husband-and-wife world-champion martial artists Justin Ortiz, 32, and Jewelianna Ramos-Ortiz, 26, laugh when they recount the story of their first audition in 2018 as stunt performers for the Netflix series Cobra Kai. They tell the tale with an air of absurdity as they describe just how foreign they felt in the land of film auditions. While they both had accolades as martial artists – Ortiz as a multi-world champion in karate and kickboxing , Ramos-Ortiz as a multi-world champion in sport karate – neither had any experience with film. They had no professional headshots or résumés. In the first round, the instruction was vague: 'Show me what you got,' the casting director said. 'I'm saying in my head, 'Wait a minute, what do I got? What can I do?'' Ortiz recalls, feeling panicked. 'I was like, 'OK, they want traditional karate, so I'm going to give them some traditional forms, and I'm going to start breaking into my creative stuff, do some flips and then I'll end it.' So I did that.' Justin Ortiz (second right) and Jewelianna Ramos-Ortiz (third left) in an episode of Cobra Kai. Photo: Netflix Ramos-Ortiz gave it her best, too. In the final round, the fight coordinator taught them a choreographed sequence to perform on camera. Relying on their instincts and backgrounds in martial arts competitions, they hit their marks and added some of their own flair. For the first time all day, the casting team broke their stone faces and stood to clap.

Pioneering ballet dancer Misty Copeland on diversity and what's next for her
Ten years ago this month, Misty Copeland sat in front of a hastily arranged news conference fighting back tears of pride over her new role: principal dancer for New York's American Ballet Theatre (ABT) company. 'This is it,' she said, with emotion. 'This has been my dream since I was 13.' The occasion was highly unusual. Normally, when a dancer is promoted, a brief press release is issued. But this was Copeland, a crossover star with fame beyond the insular world of ballet. And now she was becoming the first black female principal in the company's history – just days after her New York debut as the lead in Swan Lake brought a refreshingly diverse, packed audience to the Metropolitan Opera House. Now, a decade and many accomplishments later, Copeland is retiring from the company she joined as a teenager. 'It's been 25 years at ABT, and I think it's time,' said Copeland, 42, last week. 'It's time for me to move to the next stage.' Misty Copeland, who spent 25 years at American Ballet Theatre, is retiring from the company. Photo: Taylor Jewell/Invision/AP The company is planning a splashy farewell on October 22, featuring performances by Copeland at New York's Lincoln Centre – for the first time in five years – and other dancers. There will be speeches and film clips.
