Dakota Johnson’s Height, Shoe Size, and Best High-Heel Moments on the Red Carpet

Dakota Johnson stands at 5ft 7 inches (170.2 cm)—a touch taller than the average American woman at 5ft 4 inches (162.6 cm)—and her proportions lend themselves beautifully to both sleek red-carpet gowns and relaxed, off-duty silhouettes.

The Madame Web actress wears a US shoe size 8.5, and her fashion identity is defined by a compelling contrast: polished, high-fashion elegance for premieres and events, paired with an effortless, cool-girl minimalism when she’s out on the street.

And while her day-to-day style leans minimalist and understated, Dakota shifts effortlessly into full high-fashion drama when the moment calls for it.
