‘I Don’t Connect'- Dakota Johnson Goes Candid on the Met Gala Legacy and It's Not What You’d Expect

For many A-list Hollywood actors, musicians, and socialites, the Met Gala is the ultimate ‘It’ event of the year; they wait for, dedicating months to carefully crafting their appearances. For many, debuting on the shiny carpet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and having a thousand cameras flash on this is the paramount of success. But not for Dakota Johnson. The Fifty Shades actress, who has been to the gala multiple times in the past, has still been unable to decode the frenzy behind the event.
In her latest interview, Dakota Johnson shared some personal insights on the event she has been a part of but never understood.

Dakota Johnson is about to have her first release of the year with the upcoming Materialists. And for that, she just had a special interview with Elle Magazine, in which she chatted with her co-star, Pedro Pascal. Discussing the Met Gala, Johnson explained she is unable to understand what happens at the event, saying, “I find the Met Gala is like The Twilight Zone. I don’t know what the ---k is going on.” Johnson added, "I don’t feel I connect with any human beings in a real way".
This is a surprise statement from the star who has been to the Met Gala numerous times and has always slayed with her looks. From her 2017 Gucci gown with ruffles and train to her 2022 black lace catsuit with silver fringe, Johnson has always made a fashion statement, securing her name among Vogue's list of Best Met Gala looks of all time. However, her Met memories are just as confusing as her experience of the event, according to her co-star.
In the same Elle interview, Pedro Pascal trolled Dakota Johnson hard for not remembering meeting him at the past gala.
Dakota Johnson’s embarrassing déjà vu of forgetting Pedro Pascal
Chatting with Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal mentioned how they first got to know each other at the 2014 Met Gala, and the actor even took her under his wing as she was flying solo at the event. But the next time she met Johnson, she completely forgot about it. Johnson joked that this was perhaps the 37th time they had had this conversation, adding her first impression of him was “Wow, this guy is so cool. What a nice man that I’ve definitely never met before.”

Besides the Met Gala, the two also had some deep conversations about modern dating and loving someone, all revolving around their upcoming movie, Materialists. It has already earned an R rating for strong words and mature content, and revolves around Dakota Johnson playing a modern-day matchmaker with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans competing for her. But before the curtain lifts, Johnson’s cheeky take on the Met Gala legacy definitely stole the spotlight.
