Dakota Johnson roasts herself for wearing ‘the wrong outfit’ on Jimmy Fallon
Dakota Johnson called herself out on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last night.
Sitting beside host Jimmy Fallon on June 2 to talk about her new film, “Materialists,” the actor, 35, looked down at her dress and gasped, blurting out, “Oh, God.”
After checking in to make sure she was all right, Fallon told Johnson she looked “fantastic,” to which she responded, “This was the wrong outfit.”
The camera then panned to show Johnson’s short black dress with a plunging neckline, which she accompanied with black opaque tights.
The two suddenly froze, laughing, looking at one another until Fallon told a joke: “Just don’t move.”
“My eyes are up here,” she quipped, causing an outburst of laugher from the live studio audience.
As The Roots, Fallon’s on-set band, played off Johnson’s joke with some percussion, Fallon looked up at the sky and said, “I can’t even look there. I don’t know what to do. Now, I’m confused.”
As Fallon attempted to start the interview, asking the actor about the last time they saw one another in 30 Rock for the “SNL” 50th anniversary special, Johnson sat motionless due to her outfit, attempting to hold back laughter.
Throughout the interview, Johnson continued fixing the neckline of her dress, at one point instructing Fallon, “Tell me if there’s a problem.”
“At this point, there’s not a problem,” he responded, then paused before adding, “There’s almost a problem. But not, not quite.”
“I’ll keep my posture real good,” she joked, sitting up straight and requesting a blanket to drape over herself.
Fallon then went behind his desk and pulled out a tissue to give to her. Johnson then situated the tissue inside the dress so her chest was completely covered.
After Fallon suggested she shouldn’t “ruin” her outfit, Johnson removed the tissue and the interview continued — with casual dress adjustments and acknowledgements by the actor.
At the end of their conversation, Fallon told Johnson that her dad, Don Johnson, gifted him a cardigan sweater, which he subsequently pulled out from behind the desk.
When Fallon suggested Johnson “borrow” the sweater, she gave him a hard time, saying he probably just didn’t like the cardigan for himself.
Nevertheless, Johnson took the clothing and draped it over her chest, before sitting back into her chair and sighing, “Phew!”
