While best known for her sexy-shy performance as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades trilogy, Dakota Johnson also made a cameo as an accountant named Dakota in the series finale of The Office. Viewed by an estimated 5.69 million viewers, the last episode of the American comedy television series aired on NBC on May 16, 2013.

The daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, she starred as Kevin Malone’s (Brian Baumgartner) replacement after Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) fired him. She and Clark Green (Clark Duke) start flirting shortly after. Other guest stars appearing in the same episode include Rachael Harris, Joan Cusack, Ed Begley Jr., and Malcolm Barrett.

Two years later, Dakota Johnson looked absolutely stunning at the 19th Annual Hollywood Film Awards, which took place at The Beverly Hilton in California.

A good number of well-dressed A-list stars graced the red carpet event, including Reese Witherspoon and Carey Mulligan, but the then 26-year-old actress gave them a run for their money.

Dakota wore a whimsical see-through Gucci dress featuring colorful embroidery in green, blue, purple, and red. The long-sleeved dress also had an embroidered collar and a button-up bodice. Dakota left a few buttons undone for a casual touch.

The actress evidently went braless at the event, but we think some nipple pasties underneath her black slip would have polished up her look a bit.

Nevertheless, she looked amazing.

Dakota showed off her tattooed feet in strappy caged sandals and accessorized with multiple rings.

She wore her shoulder-length brown locks in tousled waves and kept her makeup edgy with black eyeliner and nude lipstick.
