Overview
- Dakota Johnson attended Valentino’s spring 2026 couture show in Paris wearing black reissued Rockstud pumps from Michele’s pre-fall 2026 collection.
- Her front-row ensemble was pants-free, combining sheer floral tights and black lace hot pants with a strong-shouldered jacket trimmed with feathers.
- Michele’s Rockstud updates include elongated, metal-tipped square toes and caged straps with pyramid studs inspired by Roman bugnato ornamentation.
- Johnson became a global Valentino ambassador in October 2025, and this appearance was her first haute couture show since 2014.
- The event was the house’s first runway since founder Valentino Garavani’s death on Jan. 19, with fellow attendee Tyla also wearing Rockstuds as a Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer cameo further boosted the shoe’s comeback.
