Attending the Kering Women in Motion Awards and the festival’s Presidential Dinner on May 18, the 35-year-old dazzled in a shimmering, sleeveless silver gown.
The slinky metallic dress is basically a genius loophole for the festival’s crackdown on near-naked outfits.
Johnson’s gown featured a halter neckline, a sleek column silhouette, and hundreds of intricate strass crystals and beads. She completed the look with dazzling starburst earrings crafted from 18k gold and encrusted with pavé diamonds, designed by Boucheron and valued at an impressive $56,000, per In Style.
During the Kering Women in Motion event, Johnson also seized the moment to announce her feature film directorial debut.
“The girl that plays my daughter [in Cha Cha Real Smooth], Vanessa Burkhart, she is an autistic actress and musician and brilliant person, and we have been working with her on developing a script,” the Materialists star told reporters, per Deadline. “She’s written a script, and it’s really special, and it’s about a young woman with autism. I feel very protective of her and her story in her mind, she’s just an unbelievable woman. I just don’t think I could allow anyone else to direct it. So we’ll see.”

She completed the elegant look with striking chandelier earrings and sleek, straight hair.
