Watch Dakota Johnson’s leggy display in thigh-split dress at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding

Dakota Johnson looked wedding-ready when she exited NYC’s Greenwich Hotel on Friday, July 3, to head to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s nuptials at Madison Square Garden.

The actress put on a leggy display in an asymmetrical black dress, featuring a thigh split, a halter neck and sheer panelling. She added a pair of black open-toe heels to elongate her toned legs.

Dakota added a pair of round sunglasses and wore her brunette locks down in a bouncy blow-out, accessorizing with minimal jewelry and a black shoulder bag with silver hardware.

She was spotted solo as she made her way to a waiting car, seemingly forgoing a plus one, despite her new relationship with singer Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury.

Dakota is among the star-studded guest list who bagged an invite to the celebrity wedding of the year after Taylor claimed that she has invited “anyone I’ve ever talked to.”
