Dakota Johnson turns 37 in sheer lace and fur at Via Carota

The "Verity" actress celebrated with an intimate dinner after her SNL hosting gig.

Dakota Johnson rang in 37 with an intimate dinner at Via Carota in NYC on Monday evening, Page Six reports. The night followed her "SNL" hosting gig on Saturday, where Taylor Swift surprised her with a birthday cake during the monologue.

Johnson arrived in an all-black outfit that screamed spooky season. She wore a sheer lace Stella McCartney dress with black velvet panels, revealing her black underwear underneath. It's the same style she wore in March to a Paul McCartney concert, minus the jacket.

This time, she topped it with a mink-trimmed Nour Hammour leather jacket ($2,120). The accessories included sandals from The Row ($890) and a Sylvia Gnecchi chainmail bag ($1,040). Her diamond jewelry spelled out her initials: Sophie Bille Brahe rings that read "D" and "J," each costing $12,500.

Taylor Swift was not at the birthday dinner, but Jennifer Lawrence helped celebrate, along with her husband Cooke Maroney and other friends and family.

The PR Read: A birthday dinner at a beloved NYC spot with a small, select guest list is a classic move for someone who wants the night to be about real connections, not camera flashes. Johnson's outfit choice, re-wearing a piece she'd already been photographed in, suggests she values her own comfort over a "new look" headline.
