Dakota Johnson Through the Years: From Cute Hollywood Kid to Stylish Icon (3 of 10)

When you check out her earliest public appearances in the early 2000s, it is clear that she is a content Hollywood child who is living her best life. She doesn’t come across as entitled or pretentious. The dresses she wears to events in 2003, 2004 and 2005 are age-appropriate. Her hairstyles are simple, which was a reflection of early 2000s fashion trends. Her eyes are expressive, and her smile is understated, two features that would continue to define her more than two decades later.

By 2006 and 2007, Dakota was a late teenager, and the changes had become more evident. She exuded confidence in front of the cameras, and her sense of style remained natural. She wasn’t one to embrace flashy trends. “Clean, classic and understated” is the best way to describe her style.
