Dakota Johnson is turning heads with a series of photos that are nearly a decade old. The actress, 35, sizzled in a lemon-yellow bikini in 2016 when she was photographed both in swimwear and topless while in St.Tropez, France.

Soaking up the sunshine while filming movie Fifty Shades Darker, Dakota flaunted her fit figure in a teeny two-piece, braving a plunging neckline and a very cheeky finish.

Just seven days ago, an Instagram fan account reposted the photos, with one fan comment dubbing Dakota a "masterpiece."

Dakota Johnson Stuns In Yellow String Bikini

Scroll for the photos. Dakota was photographed padding around a yacht deck backed by blue ocean waters, highlighting her cleavage and toned arms and shoulders.

Making eyes pop in her summery yellow swimsuit, the Hollywood star dropped jaws with her toned torso and legs, rocking low-rise string briefs and, in some photos, showing some cheek. Showcasing her signature porcelain skin as she wore her hair tied back and styled into bangs, Dakota added shades, otherwise keeping her look relatively low-key.

When The Daily Mail published the photos, over 4,000 users agreed with the most-liked comment. "Her figure is insane! I'm a girl and I'm jealous! Mannnn!" the fan said. Also popular was the user replying: "She is super hot, and more to the point, natural and realistic!" Meanwhile, reactions to the Instagram post were more mixed, although one user did call Dakota Johnson a "masterpiece." Another fan, however, asked: "OK ladies I have to know what’s it like having part of your bum showing????"

Going Sheer In Undies-Free Dress

Dakota Johnson raised eyebrows last February when she rocked up to the premiere of her Madame Web movie in this show-stopping dress. Rocking a mesh-netted, sleeveless dress in shimmery silver, the actress went braless and undies-free, nearly showing too much as she pushed the boundaries on the red carpet. Users online both praised the look and trashed Dakota, with one Daily Mail user writing: "She's a pretty girl, but that dress doesn't do anything positive for her."

Also unimpressed was the fan stating: "I usually like Dakota’s dresses but this is just kinda vulgar. Is she promoting Fifty Shade volume 4?" Dakota opted for luxury designer Gucci for her look. The premiere was also attended by Madame Web costar Sydney Sweeney.
