Dakota Johnson turned heads at the recent Women in Motion Awards in Cannes. Hitting up the star-studded event in the French resort town last weekend, the 35-year-old went semi-sheer in a sparkly dress with a fitted bodysuit beneath, upping the ante by going braless as she dazzled on the red carpet.

Flaunting her fit figure while highlighting her curves, Dakota had some fans loving her look, but others felt that she could've covered up a little more. The event was also attended by actresses Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, and Halle Berry.

Dakota Johnson Stuns In Glittery Sheer Dress In Cannes

Scroll for all the photos. Looking glamorous in a rhinestone-studded, shimmer-effect gown in silvery golds, Dakota displayed her toned shoulders and arms, going skintight in a column dress with a body-hugging finish.

Rocking a high neckline and slight cut-outs around the shoulders, the Fifty Shades actress flaunted her trim waist, but not without drawing the eye to her braless curves. Adding some definition to her dress thanks to a semi-sheer bodysuit worn beneath it, Dakota went for the discreet layered effect, allowing her gown to fall to the floor as she flashed her toned legs.

Adding drop earrings and ring jewelry for an understated finish, Dakota wore her dark hair tied up and styled into her signature bangs.

The A-lister also accentuated her features via a warming face of makeup, layering on blush and glowy highlighter over foundation. She chose designer Gucci, a brand she's worn many times before and low-key endorsed on social media in the past.

The images were shared by Just Jared on Instagram, but also on The Daily Mail, where Dakota wound up likened to Oscar winner Halle Berry on account of the two choosing similar dresses.

Not Her First See-Through Dress

"Both look beautiful. I really love Dakota's hair," one fan replied, gaining 50 upvotes. Thinking that Dakota and Halle's looks weren't alike at all, and shading Dakota, another said: "Totally different, Halle looks classy and Dakota looks trashy, sad that she feels she has to flash her knickers to get noticed."

Dakota Johnson had made headlines last year for her mesh-netted, totally sheer dress as she attended the premiere of her Madame Web movie, costarring actress Sydney Sweeney. Going undies-free in a very revealing gown that largely received negative reviews, Dakota showed off her curves while braless, making front-page news as a result.

Showing Nearly Everything In Her Mesh Dress

While some embraced Dakota Johnson's dressing method, most found her look OTT.

"Dakota looks too naked and weird like Marilyn Manson flashbacks," one fan replied on the Just Jared Instagram. Shading the whole crowd, another replied: "Most of them are not dresses, but lingerie." Follow our Facebook page for more updates from Dakota!
