Dakota Johnson, whether she be delivering scathing one-liners on talk shows or hitting the red carpet to promote her latest unromantic comedy, does it all in style. From her glamorous Gucci gowns to her penchant for a good pair of jeans, the actress always applies her signature wit, charm and endearingly sarcastic attitude to everything she does. Yes, even getting dressed in the morning. However, for all her merits on the red carpet, Johnson is actually a quiet advocate for an unsung wardrobe staple that’s never given its due—trainers.

Look at any of her recent street style excursions, and you’ll notice that accompanying her trademark long brunette locks, lit-from-within makeup, bohemian tousled fringe and the latest It bag put out by the Italian house are a pair of dependable sneakers. These aren’t shoes that command the spotlight, however. Rather, they just subtly punctuate whatever fabulous coat or vintage-inspired top she’s wearing at the time with a functional air. It’s this contrast between polished ensembles and practical footwear choices that makes her off–duty looks so beguiling.

Almost like she’s biting her thumbs at the hyper-manicured personal styles expected of a leading lady, Johnson’s love for trainers is proof of her indifference to the Hollywood rule book. (A quality she’s presumably gleaned as a third-generation nepo baby as the daughter Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, not to mention the granddaughter of Alfred Hitchcock muse, Tippi Hendren.)
