Dakota Johnson's Bikini Revenge in Ibiza

Dakota Johnson knows how to turn heartbreak into a headline — and she did just that with a sun-drenched, bikini-clad getaway that's already the envy of Hollywood.
Less than a month after her split from longtime partner Chris Martin, the 35-year-old actress escaped to Ibiza with none other than Kate Hudson for what can only be described as the ultimate hot-girl-summer reset.
A Yacht, a Bikini, and No Regrets
On July 1, Johnson and Hudson were photographed lounging aboard a luxury yacht, soaking up the Mediterranean sun and leaning fully into vacation mode. Both women stunned in tiny bikinis — Johnson in a minimalist white triangle top with cheeky bottoms, her ocean-drenched hair pushed back effortlessly, while Hudson, 46, turned heads in a yellow-and-white ruffled two-piece that looked straight out of a resort campaign.
The pair, joined by Hudson's stylist Sophie Lopez, smiled, chatted, and posed together on a white float in the ocean — every moment looking like a curated Instagram post, but even more glamorous.
Healing in Style
According to People, Johnson’s Ibiza trip comes on the heels of her breakup with the Coldplay frontman. The couple, who had quietly dated since 2017, officially called it quits in early June after what a source described as "the same issues for a while," according to PEOPLE. The split, however, wasn't a shock to those close to the couple, and Johnson is reportedly "doing well" and embracing her independence.
"She wants to live her life very intentionally — she doesn't want to have any regrets," a source told PEOPLE, adding that Johnson is excited about her career and determined to lead "a meaningful life on all levels."
And if that meaningful life involves lounging in the Mediterranean with a glass of rosé and her famous friends? Who could blame her?
The Girl Squad Brings the Glamour
Hudson, herself no stranger to stealing the spotlight, complemented Johnson perfectly during the trip. The duo has been spotted multiple times in Europe in recent weeks — including a chic al fresco dinner in Rome just days earlier, alongside entrepreneur Douglas Chabbott, Johnson's agent Maha Dakhil, and even a surprise cameo from Ricky Martin.
On the yacht, their coordinated swimwear and carefree vibe turned what could have been a private girls' trip into an iconic celebrity moment. Photographers captured the trio — Johnson, Hudson, and Lopez — reclining on the deck, laughing on the raft, and glowing under the Mediterranean sun.
From Cozy and Private to Main-Character Energy
Johnson's relationship with Martin was famously private — the pair were rarely photographed together and never spoke publicly about their romance. In a 2021 interview with Elle, she described their home life as "cozy and private," according to HOLA!, preferring quiet nights in to the Hollywood scene.
Even Martin's comments about Johnson were measured, calling her one of his closest friends in a 2024 Rolling Stone interview and referring to their love as "precious and private," according to HOLA!.
But this trip signals a new chapter — one where Dakota is no longer playing supporting actress in her own love story.
A Hollywood Heir Embraces the Spotlight
As the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, Johnson grew up in the glare of the spotlight but has always seemed more reluctant to step into its full beam. This week in Ibiza, though, she leaned all the way in — a sun-kissed star owning her story.
In the photos, she wore oversized sunglasses and a delicate beaded necklace to complete her look, and her relaxed demeanor practically radiated "main character" energy. This new era is equal parts sisterhood, sunshine, and self-assurance.
What's Next for Dakota?
Between her critically acclaimed role in "Materialists," her creative projects, and her impeccable fashion moments, Johnson is clearly poised to make this summer her own. And with a support squad like Hudson and Lopez at her side, it's safe to say we haven't seen the last of Dakota's hot-girl summer.
For now, she's living proof that sometimes the best revenge — or recovery — is simply looking unbothered, unforgettable, and undeniably fabulous.
