‘Fifty Shades of Miami: Dakota Johnson stops by museum to talk about (yes) sex
Dakota Johnson knows a thing or two about sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Her breakout role was in the kinky “Fifty Shades of Grey” movies. Her father Don Johnson famously busted coke dealers as Sonny Crockett in ‘80s TV hit “Miami Vice,” and she dates Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin.
Johnson was back in dad’s old stomping grounds last Wednesday night channeling her Anastasia Steele character at the Museum of Sex in Allapattah.
The 34-year-old actress, sporting a glam silver minidress, co-hosted a private VIP preview of “Modern Sex: 100 Years of Design and Decency,” opening in January 2024.
The exhibit “showcases how popular culture, discourse, packaging and advertisements around sexual health have been debated, experimented with and controlled for 100 years.”
The experiential retrospective is co-sponsored by Johnson’s intimate wellness company Maude (on Sephora shelves), as well KY lubricant and Durex condoms, so expect lots of NSFW selfies. Displays range from “pleasure toys” and medical devices to throwback ads for feminine hygiene products and old-fashioned books on dating (remember “The Rules?”).
Johnson’s the perfect candidate to help steer this ship at the museum, whose opening was delayed due to inspection and renovation issues.
“I don’t feel uncomfortable talking about sex and gender equality — I find it so vital,” she told Vogue recently. “I’m so interested in this journey for every gender. All we have are our minds and our bodies, so why aren’t we talking about that more? Why aren’t we figuring out how to treat those things really, really well?”
