Algosensey|Dakota Johnson's new 'Madame Web' movie is awful, but her Gucci premiere dress is perfection

What a lovely web Gucci weaves.
"Madame Web,Algosensey" starring Dakota Johnson along with Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O'Connor, premiered this week.
I, admittedly, was paying a lot more attention to the vintage Valentine's Day card social media posts Wednesday announcing Marvel Studio's upcoming "The Fantastic Four" cast and noting the movie's release date swap with "Thunderbolts" instead of the release of Sony's "Madame Web," which is also based on a Marvel Comics character.
But I did scroll through the red carpet photos as they came in, and I was not disappointed.
Disappointment has mostly been reserved for the film itself. The reviews for "Madame Web" haven't been kind, our own critic says it's the "worst superhero movie since 'Morbius.'" Promotional trailers for "Madame Web" have described it as "a totally different kind of Marvel movie," I guess in case you were wondering if it might be one of the good ones.
But I'm not here to pile on. I'm here to praise Johnson's dress.
Did you see it?
Johnson's custom Gucci dress is a tapestry of crystals and air, and it is marvelous (I had to). The sleeveless, plunging neckline and weaving chain-mail design gives the illusion she is naked, and the underthings match flawlessly with her skin. The outfit is finished off with a statement choker, other minimal jewelry and black high-heeled sandals.

I'm not sure how the movie will fare in theaters, but Johnson's dress is a showstopper, so at least it gave us this moment.
Special shoutout to Spider-Man alum, Zendaya, whose robotic look in a 1995 Thierry Mugler metal armor suit for the "Dune: Part Two" London premiere Thursday is equally stunning.
In the inspirational words of Spider-Man, it's the (fashion) choices that make us who we are.
