Dakota Johnson Turns Heads with Mysterious Costume on the Set of 'Verity' – Is This Her Most Transformative Role Yet?
Hollywood darling Dakota Johnson is officially deep into filming her latest project, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Fifty Shades of Grey breakout and star of hits like How to Be Single and Persuasion, was spotted this week on the set of the highly-anticipated Verity adaptation—and let’s just say, her latest look is giving major chills.
Johnson, 34, was caught by paparazzi in full character, wearing a hauntingly striking costume that suggests Verity will be nothing short of hair-raising. Dressed in what appeared to be a vintage-inspired, deep burgundy velvet gown with eerie lace details and dramatic sleeves, the actress looked every bit the part of a suspenseful literary icon.
If the ensemble is any clue, Johnson may be portraying the enigmatic and twisted Verity Crawford, the character made famous by Colleen Hoover’s best-selling psychological thriller. Although the casting for specific characters has not yet been officially confirmed by the studio, speculations are flying across the internet—and fans are already OBSESSED.
“Is she playing the real Verity?? THAT LOOK!” one fan wrote on Twitter (now X), alongside images of Johnson emerging from an old mansion-style film set in Savannah, Georgia. “This costume is giving gothic realness,” another posted. “2024 is officially the year of Dakota.”
For those unfamiliar, Verity is one of the year’s most buzzed-about book-to-screen adaptations. The Colleen Hoover novel—which became a viral hit on BookTok—follows a struggling writer who uncovers terrifying secrets while ghostwriting for a mysterious author. The page-turning plot, known for its dark psychological twists and morally gray characters, was practically begging for the big screen treatment. And now, with Johnson leading the charge, expectations are sky-high.
Dakota, who is also serving as producer through her TeaTime Pictures banner, has previously spoken about her desire to bring more edgy, female-led narratives to the screen. Verity seems to be her latest power move in establishing herself as a creative force in Hollywood—not just as an actress but as a tastemaker for gripping, must-watch content.
While the film’s release date is still under wraps, production insiders told E! News that filming is expected to wrap by early fall, with a possible early 2025 premiere. And according to those on set, Dakota is “deeply involved in every aspect of the shoot,” often working closely with the director and costume department to perfect each chilling detail of her character’s on-screen presence.
“She’s absolutely commanding,” an anonymous source said. “This could seriously be her most powerful role yet—Verity is intense, and Dakota is not playing it safe.”
Fans are already rallying for the film to dominate both box office and streaming charts. With the current boom in psychological thrillers, and the continued thirst for book-to-movie adaptations, Verity is poised to become the next major pop culture phenomenon.
And let’s not forget: the star-studded project will reportedly feature a supporting cast stacked with Hollywood’s hottest talent, although official casting announcements beyond Johnson have been kept under strict secrecy. (We see you keeping secrets, producers 👀)
