Dakota Johnson's Pretty Maxi Dress Just Inspired My Newest Purchase
The history of crochet maxi dresses can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s when the bohemian fashion movement was at its peak. Crochet, a technique that involves creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn with a hooked needle, became immensely popular during this era. Maxi dresses, characterized by their long, flowing designs, were also in style. The combination of crochet and maxi dresses was a natural evolution, as it was comfortable, airy, and stylish—perfect for the free-spirited vibe of the time. Today, crochet maxi dresses continue to be a timeless fashion choice, as Dakota Johnson just proved.
Photographed at Telluride Film Festival, Johnson wore a Chloé dress that's giving me strong Stevie Nicks vibes. She finished the outfit with a Gucci Jackie bag—named after Jackie Kennedy, another '60s icon—and a Jessica McCormack necklace.
