Dakota Johnson has added another chapter to the ongoing Dakota Johnson MGK dating rumours after attending Machine Gun Kelly’s runway appearance at Vogue World 2026 in Milan.
The actress was seated in the front row on September 22 as MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, walked in the Vogue World: Milano show. The appearance came shortly after the pair were photographed together in New York City, prompting fresh speculation about their relationship.
Neither Johnson nor MGK has publicly confirmed that they are dating. However, their recent appearances together have drawn considerable attention.
Dakota Johnson Watches MGK Walk the Vogue World Runway
MGK took part in Vogue World 2026: Milano, which opened Milan Fashion Week on September 22.
According to Vogue, the event was held inside Milan’s historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The show celebrated Italian fashion, craftsmanship and creativity while also raising funds for the Quarto Oggiaro Library in northwestern Milan.
MGK appeared on the runway wearing a bright orange Byblos jumpsuit with black sneakers. Vogue also confirmed that he walked in the show alongside model Alex Consani.
Johnson watched from the front row in a black dress featuring a sheer skirt and plunging neckline.
Her presence quickly became one of the more talked-about celebrity moments of the evening because of the recent attention surrounding her and MGK.
Why Dakota Johnson and MGK Are Being Linked
The Milan appearance followed a recent outing by Johnson and MGK in New York City.
The two were photographed together getting out of a black SUV, adding to speculation that they may be spending time together. PEOPLE subsequently reported, citing a source close to MGK, that the pair had been spending time together after reconnecting at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July wedding. The source described their relationship as developing from friendship, while also saying that they had not officially labelled it. Representatives for Johnson and MGK had not publicly commented on the reports.
That distinction is important. The pair have not publicly confirmed a romantic relationship, so the current discussion remains speculation based on their public appearances and reports from unnamed sources.
Johnson Recently Addressed Her History With Musicians
The dating speculation also comes as Johnson recently discussed her relationships with musicians in a Vogue interview.
In the interview published September 18, Johnson was asked about her apparent connection with musicians. She responded humorously that they like her and that she likes them.
The comment attracted additional attention because it came amid reports linking her to MGK.
Johnson previously had a long-term relationship with Coldplay singer Chris Martin. She was also linked to musician Role Model before their reported split earlier in 2026.
Still, Johnson’s comments were not confirmation of a relationship with MGK.
MGK Has Previous Milan Runway Experience
Vogue World 2026 was not MGK’s first time walking a major Milan runway.
The musician previously appeared on the runway for Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall/Winter 2022-2023 men’s show in Milan. His appearance at Vogue World therefore marked another crossover between his music career and the fashion world.
This time, however, the runway moment attracted additional attention because Johnson was watching from the front row.
What We Know About the Dakota Johnson-MGK Rumours
For now, the public record points to several recent developments:
- Johnson and MGK were recently seen together in New York.
- Johnson attended MGK’s Vogue World runway appearance in Milan.
- Reports have described the pair as spending time together.
- A source cited by PEOPLE said their connection developed from friendship.
- Neither star has publicly confirmed a romantic relationship.
So, while the Dakota Johnson MGK dating rumours continue to grow, there is still no official relationship announcement from either celebrity.
Vogue World 2026 Brings Hollywood and Fashion Together
The attention around Johnson and MGK came during a particularly star-filled edition of Vogue World.
The Milan event marked the fifth Vogue World and coincided with the opening of Milan Fashion Week. Vogue described the show as a celebration of Italian craftsmanship and the human touch in fashion during an era increasingly shaped by technology and artificial intelligence.
With celebrities, models and designers gathering at the historic Milan venue, Johnson’s appearance alongside MGK naturally became one of the night’s biggest talking points.
For now, though, their relationship status remains unconfirmed.
