The actress, renowned for her role in the 50 Shades of Grey series, experienced an unusual and awkward incident at the Venice Film Festival this Saturday.
During a photo session with the entire team of her upcoming film, Suspiria, cameras captured an awkward positioning of director Luca Guadagnino's hand, closely situated near Johnson's chest.
While there is no indication of intentional misconduct, the camera angle may have amplified the peculiar placement of Guadagnino's hand.
Despite the ambiguity, Johnson's facial expression conveys surprise, and she can be observed appearing somewhat embarrassed, seeking refuge behind the director.
According to onlookers, it is speculated that Guadagnino's gesture was an attempt to shield Dakota's cleavage from photographers, and Johnson herself may have been trying to avert a wardrobe mishap.
Whether any discussion occurred in the moment remains unknown, and both parties have refrained from commenting on the incident subsequently.
While the image is undeniably unusual, especially in the current climate where movements like MeToo have heightened awareness, it seems improbable that the director had ill intentions—or, at least, that is the perspective we would like to maintain.
