Key Takeaways
- On June 7, Dakota Johnson attended the New York premiere of her new film, ‘The Materialists.’
- Se traded her go-to nude nails for a cool metallic manicure.
- She also wore glowy makeup and her signature bangs.
Truth be told, I’ve had the release date for The Materialists marked on my calendar since the trailer first dropped. A matchmaking Dakota Johnson?? Chris Evans?? PEDRO PASCAL? No blockbuster could entice me more, plus I love Past Lives and trust Celine Song to bring it again.
As about five notifications so kindly reminded me this morning, today is the day! And while I haven’t made it to the theater yet, I’ve heard and seen only good things about the movie. By seen, I mean I can’t stop looking at the manicure Johnson wore to its New York premiere.

Last Saturday, Johnson appeared at the DGA Theater in Manhattan wearing a slinky one-shouldered black Gucci gown from the brand’s 2026 cruise collection and holding a cutout of Pascal’s face with her shimmery cat eye-polished fingernails.
Nail artist Mo Quin was in charge of the design. While Johnson is typically one to stick with the classics, she traded her favorite nude polishes for a trendy cat eye finish. Depending on the angle and lighting, her rounded almond-shaped nails appeared silver or rosy. Silver linings… rose colored glasses… it all sounds pretty romantic drama-coded to me

Dakota Johnson’s Soft Glam
With her long brunette hair and signature bangs glossy as ever, the actress rounded out her beauty with some soft glam by celebrity makeup artist Georgie Eisdell.
Her highlighted cheeks did a great job of playing into the nail art’s energy.

“To warm up the complexion, I used the Beauty Pie Awesome Bronze Bronzing Cream in Sunny Side, across the cheekbones, temples, and jawline—this blends like a dream and gives that sun-kissed, skin-like finish,” explained Eisdell. “Then I tapped on the Beauty Pie Luxe Shine Blush Stick in Terra Rosa to the apples of the cheeks for a fresh pop of color. I finished the skin with a swipe of the Beauty Pie Triple Beauty Luminizing Highlighter Wand on the high points—cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow—for a dewy highlight.”
Surprise, surprise: the movie highlight of my summer and actual highlight of my summer go hand in (perfectly manicured) hand.
