Dakota Johnson went from wearing a stylish black midi dress yesterday to a Gucci cotton-candy pink fringe gown for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Highest 2 Lowest. The colour is trending this spring, with Kristen Stewart also opting to wear two pastel pink looks to the festival.
Johnson finished her pink look off with silver earrings. Last night was a huge moment for the actor and producer, as her film Splitsville also premiered.
Johnson spoke with Variety yesterday about the premise of the film, saying, 'It’s an interesting tone because I guess, off the bat, it reads as a comedy, but it’s a very soulful, unique comedy about two couples and the challenging dynamics of their relationships individually, and then their relationships intertwined with each other. It’s about the complexities of love.'

She explained her views on non-monogamy and how it relates to the themes of Splitsville, saying, 'I don’t feel like there’s one right way to love, or one right way to live your life, and I think human beings are being allowed to evolve. I think it’s rare that we hear of people being in a partnership or a relationship that’s like, "Yeah, and then we grow together and separately, and it’s super healthy and fun." It’s rare that that happens. I don’t think there’s any right way. I feel like, if you want to have multiple relationships in your life, great. If you want to go really deep with one person, great. If you want to have both of those at the same time, great. Why not, really? But also scary, you know?'
She added that she doesn’t necessarily see non-monogamy as a 'new way.'
'I feel like we could look at that in a really positive way, or say someone says they want to explore every version of themselves and they want to have as many experiences as possible, and whatever that is in this short life we have,' she said. 'Or, is it that, as humanity, we are starting to evolve into people who don’t tolerate each other and don’t tolerate each other’s flaws and don’t heal and don’t grow? A lot of times I see relationships break up when it’s either or both people in a phase of immense challenge, which leads to immense growth. But if you just split up all the time, or if you’re like, "You’re sucking right now, so I’m going to go and be with my other boyfriend." How am I growing and how am I actually loving you? But I don’t know. I don’t know the answer. I think everything works, or it can.'
Splitsville comes out on August 22.
