At 34 years old, Dakota Johnson is technically a millennial. But that didn't stop her from wearing Gen Z's favorite outfit formula. In fact, Johnson proves that a tiny top and big pants is a winning combo for any generation.
The actress looked ready for a rom-com moment in her black cropped, high-neck tank top and high-waisted, wide-leg blue jeans on the set of her upcoming movie, Materialists, on Monday, April 29. She kept the outfit simple with gold wire square-oval Gucci shades, a silver heart pendant, small silver hoops, and another Gen-Z favorite, the Adidas Samba OG sneakers.
This look fits nicely into the Dakota Johnson off-duty street style guide. She loves a casual look and a loose-fitting denim. She's worn a lot of oversized utility jackets over the past few months, but as the weather warms up, her tops shall shrink accordingly.
Johnson's outfit puts a sophisticated slant on the tiny-top-big-pants look, and gives the current style an almost vintage glamour. Her Triarchy Mr. Onassis Wide Leg Jeans have a sailor pant silhouette and a true retro feel, while the top has a Y2K-era fit.
Of course, Johnson isn't the only millennial celebrity opting for small shirts and large trousers. A couple weeks ago, Emily Ratajkowski, somewhat of a tiny-top-big-pant enthusiast, was spotted in parachute pants and a sports bra. (Like Johnson, she was also wearing Adidas Sambas.) Kendall Jenner, a Gen Z-millennial cusp, is another proponent of the trend.
Back in January, Johnson put her spin on another Gen Z TikTok trend—the "mob wife" aesthetic, but make it "mob boss." She wore head-to-toe Bottega Veneta, a baggy black suit with white pinstripes.
