Dakota Johnson is stripping down to her Calvins.
The actress, 36, stripped down to almost nothing for her debut Calvin Klein campaign. The Spring 2026 campaign, which launched Monday, March 9, shows her modeling several looks from the brand, including the Ultralight and Icon Cotton Modal underwear, Perfectly Fit Ultralight Bra, Archive High Rise Slim Jean, Relaxed Trucker and Baggy Jean.
The sexy photos, directed and photographed by Gordon von Steiner, show Johnson posing poolside in a black bra with a book in her lap and on a black piano in denim with no top. Others are of Johnson on top of a pool table wearing only underwear and her wearing an oversize denim jacket with nothing underneath, among others.

Per a press release, the campaign “offers a fresh interpretation of the brand’s signature confidence and sensuality, grounded in a refined less is more philosophy.” The photos are meant to show the actress “through a relaxing day at home, away from the spotlight.”
Johnson gave her own insight into the campaign’s narrative in a statement, saying, "Calvin Klein jeans and underwear have a timeless quality that makes everything feel right the moment you put them on. When a woman is alone at home working or reading or doing whatever, it can feel quite liberating and sensual.”
“Channeling that, and pairing that energy with Calvin Klein's iconography, felt both singular and classic. I love that this campaign celebrates being comfortable, free and sexy on your own terms. Sometimes, a woman just being is the sexiest thing,” the Materialists star continued.
Johnson spoke with Elle about her decision to join the Calvin Klein brand. “Working with Calvin at this moment feels very symbiotic with where I am currently in my life. I’m at a place in my womanhood where I feel quite calm and centered. I spend a lot of time at home, I feel very comfortable in my body,” she said.

“Doing the denim and underwear campaign in the tone of very laid-back sensuality felt like it’s just a sort of truth of where I’m at right now,” the actress added.
Johnson also revealed how she spends her casual nights at home, saying, “Night in is my favorite activity. Usually, I’m in my underwear reading or watching movies.”

Johnson, the daughter of actress Melanie Griffith and actor Don Johnson, is not new to rocking daring looks. She spoke with Vogue Germany last October about her thoughts on naked dresses.
“I've been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them,” she said.
“Sometimes those dresses look good on me. But there are also some we've tried on that didn't look good at all. It depends on the shape, the finish, the color, and everything else. So if I find a beautiful dress that I feel comfortable in, of course I want to wear it! And it's fun to wear a sexy dress,” the 50 Shades of Grey actress added.
Meanwhile, Calvin Klein has received renewed buzz because of the FX drama series Love Story about the whirlwind romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, respectively played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon.
The show documents Carolyn’s time as an employee at Calvin Klein, with the namesake designer being portrayed by Alessandro Nivola.
