Dakota Johnson puts on a leggy display in lace hotpants and patterned tights as she arrives back at her hotel in Paris after Valentino show

Dakota Johnson put on a leggy display in lace hotpants and patterned tights as she arrived back at her hotel in Paris after the Valentino show on Wednesday.

The actress, 36, looked fashion forward as she stepped out in a sheer leopard-print top, which she tucked into skimpy black shorts.

She added inches to her frame with towering studded black Valentino heels, which she paired with brown floral tights.

Dakota accessorised her ensemble with a Valentino embroidered shoulder bag, worth £1,690.

To complete her outfit, she slipped a brown faux-fur coat over it and wore a pair of cat-eye-tinted sunglasses.

Dakota recently ignited romance rumours with a younger musician after the pair were seen enjoying dinner together over the holidays.

The actress, who split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin back in June after eight years of dating, joined the singer Role Model for a low-key dinner, per photos obtained by TMZ.

The Going Out rapper - whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury - was in a previous relationship with Emma Chamberlain until their breakup in 2023.

In the images, Dakota and the 28-year-old music artist sat next to each other while listening to pals sitting across from them at a crowded restaurant.

Sources told TMZ that the two stars cosied up together during the outing, which seemingly occurred shortly before Christmas.

At one point, the Fifty Shades Of Grey actress sipped on a cocktail while the performer also took part in the conversation at the table.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Dakota and Tucker's reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

A tip was also sent to gossip site DeuxMoi and posted to Instagram on December 19 - claiming that Dakota and Tucker had been seen at Vandell, a cocktail bar located in Los Angeles.

While the anonymous tip stated that it was difficult to determine the 'vibes' between the pair, it was noted that they were 'both beautiful in person.'

In November, a separate insider told People that Dakota has been moving on and 'slowly dating again' after her split from Chris.

'Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and while she always hoped they'd work out, she seems lighter and more at peace now that it's final.'

The source further said that the actress is now in a 'great place' before adding that she is 'busy, fulfilled, and she's moved on.'

Dakota and Chris were first romantically linked back in 2017 and became engaged a few years later in 2020.

The Materialists actress had also developed a close bond with his two children, Apple, 21, and Moses, 19 - whom the singer shares with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow.

A source previously told DailyMail.com, 'Their relationship has been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out how to make it official.

'Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.'

The insider continued, 'Breakups aren't instant, and they continued to breakup and make up and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working, because absence makes the heart grow fonder.'

They noted that the actress was 'devastated' to no longer see his kids as often, but the star let them both know that 'she is always there for them.'

Along with becoming close to his children, Dakota also developed a friendship with Gwyneth over the years.

Gwyneth and Chris initially tied the knot back in 2003, but their divorce was officially finalised in 2016.

Despite the split, both Gwyneth and Dakota will still remain close and in each other's life, per People.

An insider told the outlet that the Iron Man actress fully intends on maintaining that bond with Dakota.
