Others were quick to say that they preferred Dakota with her trademark brunette locks and fringe.

The star’s hairstylist Mark Townsend has spoken in the past about how he achieves Dakota’s sleek yet messy look.

In a chat with Vogue, he explained: “Dakota always loves to have very clean hair, so my challenge is always to make it look not-so-clean. I want it to look like it’s the second day post-wash.

I always want it to look like she woke up, ran a brush through her hair and walked out the door, but it does take a little bit of work, especially now her hair is so long.

“We recently worked together for the Sundance Film Festival, which was all virtual this year. We kept her hair very natural – I just gave her a really pretty blowout each day, using a large round brush, then set it in a bun while she finished make-up. It creates natural bends in the hair.”

Dakota is the daughter of famous parents Don Johnson, who is an actor, producer, director, singer, and songwriter, and actress and producer Melanie Griffith.

She has six half-siblings.

Jesse, Grace, Jasper, and Deacon Johnson hail from her dad's side, while Alexander Bauer and Stella del Carmen Banderas are from her mother.
