Dakota Johnson and Kendall Jenner Made Ballet Flats the Dress Code for Their Latest Outing
Great wardrobes think alike.
According to publicly documented outings, Dakota Johnson and Kendall Jenner have only been friends since June 2025. They hard-launched their connection in designer dresses on a Ritz-Carlton yacht (as one does) and, in November, reunited in cool-girl looks at a Tame Impala concert. Despite sharing the same taste in less-is-more fashion moments, Johnson and Jenner haven't reached the "we accidentally wore the same outfit" stage of their friendship. That is, until October 25, when the two were spotted together in L.A. in made-for-minimalists ballet flats.
Their going-out slippers were similar, but styled entirely differently. Hours after the actor was spotted with her rumored boyfriend, Machine Gun Kelly, Johnson looked more relaxed in jeans. She layered a brown leather bomber jacket over a black cardigan and her go-to Levi's denim.
For accessories, she carried (what appears to be) a sold-out, envelope-style clutch from Celine, which matched her white ballet flats. Don't miss the slim, black Mary Jane-style bands that secured the sleek It shoes.
Dakota Johnson wore jeans and a brown leather bomber jacket to dinner with Kendall Jenner.
Meanwhile, tapping into winter's celebrity-beloved robe trend, Jenner sourced London-based designer Conner Ives for the embroidered, butter yellow coat, with creamy white fur along the collar and cuffs. The supermodel stacked a satin blouse and black trousers underneath the jacket, and paired the look with leather ballet flats by The Row.
Jenner's new Chanel Maxi Flap Bag tagged along, too. She debuted the beige pebble leather bag at Paris Fashion Week last month, marking, by my count, her second Matthieu Blazy-era Maxi Flap.
Kendall Jenner went with a fashion-forward fur coat and ballet flats.
Johnson and Jenner's closets are intertwined beyond the shoe racks. Last month, before Johnson hosted Saturday Night Live, she styled a $6,300 Valentino jacket. The same piece was seen in Jenner's winter wardrobe in Dec. 2025. Once again, both ballet flat aficionados finished with black ballerinas, but Johnson traded Jenner's stirrup leggings for Levi's jeans, of course.
Here's hoping Jenner and Johnson add more cool-girl conventions to their November and December calendars. My friends and I could use some "similar, but not identical" style inspiration for seasonal get-togethers.
