During prom season, everyone on TikTok was losing their minds over the Easter dress trend. Basically, prom-goers traded in the glitz and glam we typically associate with prom dresses for frilly and floral Easter Sunday-esque dresses. And even though she’s not exactly pulling up to prom, Dakota Johnson’s dress just proved how chic brunch attire can be.
Easter has come and gone, but the cool girls have made it clear that looking like a creampuff is always in. Babydoll silhouettes, puffy sleeves, and grandma floral prints are all making waves as big dress trends this summer. And even though the Love Shack Fancy girlies are always ready to pull out their frilliest dresses at any given moment, the it girl knows how to add a cool touch to her Easter dress for a truly downtown look.

Dakota Johnson paired her Shop Doen floral silk dress with cat eye sunglasses and Nike sneakers. Because the dress brings that ultra-feminine creampuff vibe to the look, Dakota expertly wore casual accessories to tone it down. Sneakers might not be Easter (or prom) approved, but they’re the perfect way to dress down an outfit without sacrificing style. A dress and sneakers might’ve once been a fashion faux-pas, but all NYC girls would opt for sneakers over heels any day.

Even in your Sunday best, the wind can creep up on you—and Dakota comes prepared. In addition to her sporty sneakers, Dakota threw on an oversized Carhartt jacket to keep warm. The tomboy flare of both the jacket and shoes pair perfectly with such a girly dress. And if you’re loving this look as much as I am, you’re dreaming about recreating your own Easter Sunday meets cool girl look.
Dakota’s exact dress is this gorgeous floral ruffled dress from Shop Doen. Like she did, you can dress it down for everyday wear.
If this summer’s a chillier one for you, pair this Carhartt jacket with your Easter dress for a cool girl look.
