Dakota Johnson wears a corset and suspenders as she poses in a Playboy bunny costume while smoking a cigarette

Dakota Johnson has transformed into a Playboy bunny as she posed with a cigarette in hand for a racy new photoshoot.

The actress, 37, appeared in the sexy images to promote her appearance on Saturday Night Live, and sported one of the bunny's iconic corsets and suspenders.

In the black and white images Dakota appeared atop of one of New York's iconic buildings after hosting the NBC hit to promote her role in the erotic thriller Verity.

During her opening monologue, Dakota's pal Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance, with the Fifty Shades Of Grey star joking her friend was her 'breakup therapist'.

Taylor and Dakota have been thick as thieves recently, with the Madame Web actress appearing in the pop star's music video for her song, Patient Zero, at the MTV Video Music Awards last week. 

Dakota then presented Taylor with the inaugural Artist Director Award and starred in her music video alongside Colin Farrell. Taylor returned the favour on Saturday, surprising Dakota during her SNL monologue. 

Dakota caught the audience up on her life since she last hosted, poking fun at her most recent breakups.

'I went through two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians. Looking for a third,' she joked. 

Dakota then turned the punchline on her new movie, Verity, noting that, just like her film, dating musicians is like a 'psychosexual erotic thriller'. 

'But I have really good friends. They don't judge me for dating these men. They're actually really supportive,' she continued. 

Dakota then introduced Taylor as her 'literal therapist', who joined her onstage in a grey plaid dress as the audience erupted in applause. 

'I'm not - I'm not your therapist, actually. You just show up once a week at my house with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I want some,' Swift responded. 

'And then you flop on my couch and overshare, and every so often I just say, 'Damn, that's crazy,'' she continued. 

'Is that not a therapist?' Dakota quipped. 

The host then joked that women around the world should thank her for taking one for the team and dating misunderstood musicians, further noting that those in 'England and parts of Ireland and Cleveland' should be most grateful. 

After referencing Kelce's hometown, Taylor shouted out her husband with a 'Woo-woo' to the crowd. 

The pop star recently released encore tracks from her 2025 album, The Life of a Showgirl, which included a song called Cleveland! dedicated to her husband. Patient Zero also appeared on the new set of tracks. 

Taylor is no stranger to the SNL stage. She graced the studio with Travis back in 2023 to introduce her friend and collaborator Ice Spice as the musical guest.
