Dakota Johnson Just Wore the Valentino Jacket Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner Already Love
The perfect holiday piece just got another celebrity endorsement.
This week in New York City, Dakota Johnson is playing double duty, promoting Verity before its theatrical release on October 2 and rehearsing to host Saturday Night Live. It's no surprise that, eventually, her schedules collided: On September 29, Johnson debuted a custom Calvin Klein look at the film adaptation's NYC premiere, but later, she had plans with the SNL cast. So, the actor traded her bejeweled bra top for a fur-trimmed Valentino jacket, which hails from a previous host's cold-weather closet.
After posing with her co-star, Anne Hathaway, outside the AMC Lincoln Square Theater, Johnson traveled south to Lattanzi Cucina Italiana, the home of SNL's Tuesday evening dinners. The pre-show soirée doesn't seem to honor a dress code: Olivia Rodrigo styled a sheer polka-dot dress, Ariana Grande put comfort first in a cloud-like puffer coat and the Dior Cigale Bag, and Harry Styles flaunted his new Chanel Maxi Flap from Métiers d'Art Spring 2026.
With that said, Johnson kept it casual (for her) in straight-leg Levi's jeans, The Row's black Fay Wool Flats, and a $6,300 navy blue blazer from Valentino's Fall 2025 runway show. The fitted, shoulder-padded jacket featured familiar brown fur along the collar, a hook-and-eye closure, and cuffs—an adornment that, last year, stood out to Jennifer Lawrence (another SNL alum) and Kendall Jenner, too.
Did you get déjà vu from Dakota Johnson's Valentino jacket?

Not only did Johnson have time to change into a cool-girl going-out top, but she also switched her red-carpet Roberto Coin jewelry for five-figure hoop earrings, a snake-shaped ring, and a diamond pendant necklace, courtesy of Jessica McCormack (the London jeweler behind Zendaya's engagement ring).
Now, back to her Valentino jacket. It's not unusual to see Johnson (creative director Alessandro Michele's most devoted brand ambassador) in a lavish Valentino look on the street style circuit. What is surprising is that Lawrence debuted this exact design back in Dec. 2025. While the rest of her date night attire remained beneath a martini-laden table at Moda Operandi's dinner, the Fall 2025 find stole the show.
Jennifer Lawrence styled the same fur-trimmed jacket back in Dec. 2025.
Days later at a holiday party in L.A., the same investment style finished Jenner's seasonal look. Instead of jeans à la Johnson, the supermodel sampled the stirrup leggings trend (from the celebrity-beloved L.A. label Leset) alongside The Row's burgundy Dalia Bag and black kitten-heel mules, also by the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen brand. At the time, fashion editor Lauren Tappan told me the "festive" outfit "delivered an undeniable dose of elegance," one that she channeled at a holiday party of her own.
Kendall Jenner styled the Valentino jacket with leggings last year, too.
And just like that, the sisterhood of the traveling Valentino jacket continues. Which celebrity closet will welcome the navy-and-brown number next? Maybe Johnson will put the piece on Taylor Swift's radar: In the "Patient Zero" music video, Johnson and Swift twinned in a butter-yellow gown by the Italian brand. Perhaps it will play a part in the pop star's holiday wardrobe, too.
