Dakota Johnson gave us a lesson in the perfect vintage summer updo

Dakota Johnson is definitely high on our list of style crushes. She never puts a foot wrong when it comes to serving up equally covetable and wearable and classic outfits. Likewise her hairstyle and statement fringe was giving us timeless inspo waaay before TikTok sold us on quiet luxury.

While Dakota tends to wear her long hair straight, shiny and loose the majority of the time, we’ve noticed that there is one hairstyle in particular that she regularly enters into her rotation to keep things interesting and elevated (quite literally). And, like her style, it’s charming, cute and references an old-school aesthetic.

The style in question is the vintage updo favoured by the likes of ’50s film stars like Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren. Most recently, we saw Dakota wear the style while visiting the LA set of talkshow host Jimmy Kimmel last month on 19th June.

For the occasion, Dakota chose a classic white T-shirt, black cardigan and bootleg jeans, but she added some sophistication with some retro cat-eye sunglasses, chunky gold hoops and a Hepburn bun piled high on the crown of her head. However, she added her own spin by keeping her full, swishy fringe out and loosening the strands around her face to make it a little less polished and more casual.
