Dakota Johnson and Kate Hudson Turn the High Seas Into a Hollywood Runway

If Hollywood had a legacy club for cool women who could act circles around most, Dakota Johnson and Kate Hudson would be founding members. Johnson, daughter of Melanie Griffith, and Hudson, daughter of Goldie Hawn, inherited talent, charm, and the ability to smirk at chaos with finesse. Their mothers, long-time besties, practically raised them in a shared VIP lounge of stardom. From silver screens to red carpets, they have done it all. This week, however, their performance venue involved SPF and saltwater.
This time, Johnson and Hudson were spotted bringing their tan game to elite levels on a girls trip at sea.

It was not a film set, but it might as well have been, as Dakota Johnson and Kate Hudson turned the deck of a yacht into a runway-meets-retreat just off the coast of Ibiza. With Johnson in a crisp white bikini and Hudson dipped in ombré sunshine, the duo demonstrated that leisure, when executed by legacy Hollywood royalty, qualifies as performance art. They floated, lounged, and smiled with the kind of ease only available to those without emails marked “urgent.”
While some find summer in spreadsheets and ceiling fans, others, namely celebrities, find it in Sardinia. Johnson and Hudson’s aquatic interlude joins a growing list of glamorous Mediterranean sightings, including Paris Hilton wrangling toddlers with one hand and champagne with the other, and Rebel Wilson choosing the island as her marital backdrop. Sardinia, it appears, is less a travel destination and more of an unspoken celebrity group chat suggestion, one with yacht emojis and no exit button.
With their sunlit getaway turning heads, Dakota Johnson and Kate Hudson’s decades-long friendship is once again stealing the spotlight, or sunlight.
A look at Dakota Johnson and Kate Hudson's decades old friendship
Dakota Johnson, yes, the same woman who left Pedro Pascal laughing through an injury anecdote, shares a long-standing bond with Kate Hudson, built on family ties and a flair for showing up fabulously, and together. In Aspen, they once gleefully posed with each other’s mothers, Melanie Griffith and Goldie Hawn, proving that Hollywood dynasties also come with shared ski trips and mutual admiration. In late 2024, Hudson performed at a private concert in the same snowy locale, with Johnson applauding front-row like a supportive sister who also critiques sound systems for fun.

In June 2025, Johnson and Hudson were seen dining at Rome’s Pierluigi with Ricky Martin, Maha Dakhil, and Douglas Chabbott. Dressed in relaxed glamour, Johnson in a black tank and low-rise jeans, Hudson in effortless whites, they looked less like tourists and more like seasoned vacationers during a cinematic interlude. Between espresso shots and late-night laughter, they proved their bond travels as well as their designer luggage. A Roman holiday, but make it Hollywood-grade.
