Dakota Johnson and Melanie Griffith at the Oscars.
The movie 50 Shades of Grey is a hot topic these days, having had it’s much anticipated release for Valentine’s Day on 13 February. The steamy best-selling trilogy turned movie, had middle-aged women‘s hearts racing with its depiction of a S&M relationship between a student and a powerful businessman. The actress in the movie is Dakota Johnson, who recently became single. With her elevated status based on the movie’s popularity, one would think she would have a string of men wanting to walk her across the red carpet. The star instead opted to take her mother, actress Melanie Griffiths, as her date to the Oscars. Dakota was dressed in stunning bright red Saint Laurent dress, while Melanie wore a more traditional long-sleeved black gown.
This was not their first time visiting the Oscars together, as a super cute 10 year old Dakota Johnson accompanied her mother and step-father, actor Antonio Banderas, to the gala event in 2000.
