The actress stepped out in New York City on Tuesday afternoon wearing a pair of (and we can’t stress this enough) very large pants, looking to be in good spirits as the Internet reacted to the news of her latest film.
The pants in question are a pair of wide-leg, Khaite trousers, with fabric that moves back and forth as Johnson walks through the streets of Tribeca.
The result is a very carefree look that plays well with proportions and leaves Johnson looking effortlessly cool.
Johnson’s outing comes as the Internet respond to the new trailer for her latest project, Persuasion, a Netflix film which stars the actress as Anne Elliot, a member of 19th century British high society stuck in a love triangle.
Unfortunately for Johnson, Austen fans can be protective over the author’s work, and they aren’t pleased with what the trailer has to offer.
Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted.
But Johnson and her big pants seem unbothered, maybe because her other film, Cha Cha Real Smooth, premiered to praise at Tribeca Film Festival earlier this week, and she has a Marvel movie lead role to prepare for.
Dakota Johnson typically goes for films that take place in the present. But with Carrie Cracknell’s upcoming adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1817 romance novel Persuasion, the 32-year-old actor is changing things up.
