Dakota Johnson didn't get much love as she modeled a stunning white dress last week. Showing off her fit figure as she joined mom Melanie Griffith in NYC, the "Fifty Shades" actress highlighted her curves while braless, going figure-hugging in a sleeveless look that was sheer below the waist.

Fans called her fashion choice "unflattering," with some even wondering if Dakota is pregnant. Dakota has no children; however, she is a stepmom to boyfriend Chris Martin's kids, Apple and Moses.
