Actress Dakota Johnson has captured attention with her striking appearance for Calvin Klein’s Spring 2026 campaign, showcasing the label’s latest underwear and denim collection with a minimalist, bold style. Released on March 9, the campaign highlights Johnson modeling signature pieces that emphasize Calvin Klein’s enduring aesthetic of clean, confident design.
The Vision Behind the Spring 2026 Campaign
The campaign was shot and directed by acclaimed photographer Gordon von Steiner, renowned for his innovative fashion imagery. Staying true to Calvin Klein’s classic identity, the visuals focus on intimate indoor scenes, natural poses, and simple styling, keeping the clothing as the central focus. This approach creates a warm, inviting environment that highlights the brand’s blend of comfort and elegance.
Showcasing Key Pieces from Underwear and Denim Collections
Throughout the campaign, Johnson is seen wearing items from Calvin Klein’s Ultralight and Icon Cotton Modal underwear ranges, as well as denim such as the Perfectly Fit Ultralight Bra and Archive High Rise Slim Jeans. The collection fuses modern comfort with timeless style, evident in the relaxed yet sleek designs presented in the images.
One notable photo depicts Johnson reclining on a textured couch clad in a sleek black bra, set against a warm wooden backdrop. This simple, tasteful setting intensifies the focus on both the underwear’s understated elegance and Johnson’s poised presence. Another image captures her from behind as she adjusts a pair of jeans, emphasizing the crisp lines and effortless vibe integral to the campaign’s message.
In a peaceful scene by a pool, Johnson lounges wearing the same black bra, a blue book resting casually on her lap. This tranquil moment reflects the campaign’s emphasis on personal comfort and confidence within private spaces.
Empowering Themes of Comfort and Individuality
Calvin Klein explained that the campaign explores the notion of feeling empowered and at ease when alone, portraying everyday moments where women can express confidence without external pressures. Johnson expressed her personal connection to the clothing in an official release, underscoring the timelessness of the brand’s pieces.
Calvin Klein jeans and underwear have a timeless quality that makes everything feel right the moment you put them on,
she said.
She further highlighted the campaign’s celebration of individuality and self-assurance. Johnson pointed to the liberating and sensual nature of being comfortable alone, valuing those private moments as deeply empowering.
When a woman is alone at home working or reading or doing whatever, it can feel quite liberating and sensual. I love that this campaign celebrates being comfortable, free and sexy on your own terms. Sometimes, a woman just BEING is the sexiest thing,
she added.
Personal Life Updates: New Beginnings for Johnson
Beyond her professional achievements, Dakota Johnson has recently been in the spotlight for changes in her personal relationships. After reportedly ending a long-term relationship with singer Chris Martin in June 2025, Johnson is said to be maintaining her emotional balance amid the transition. According to sources familiar with the situation, the relationship had its ups and downs, and Johnson grew weary of uncertainty over their future.
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,
an insider revealed.
In early 2026, Johnson was seen spending time with singer Role Model (Tucker Pillsbury), sparking rumors about a new romance. Reports suggest she is enjoying this fresh chapter, described as having “so much fun” with the musician.
Continuing Success in Hollywood and Fashion
Dakota Johnson remains a prominent figure in entertainment and fashion. Her recent film, the romantic drama Materialists, featured her alongside stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. With the high-profile Calvin Klein campaign and upcoming projects, she solidifies her status as an influential presence in both industries.
