Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Dakota’s blue mules I’m not a mule wearer. Just not my jam. But these blue ones, on Dakota Johnson, with the easy, pretty white dress, and the cute little picnic basket handbag? It’s a really good look. By Lainey • Jun 30, 2015 04:22 pm

Bad Style Dakota Johnson: MET Eyes So… Dakota Johnson. In Chanel. Nothing in the dress speaks to the theme of the MET Gala. And then you look at her eyes.

Faux Gossip Dakota Johnson & Leonardo DiCaprio? Don’t get too excited. Or at all.
