Luca Guadagnino, the director of “Suspiria,” saved Dakota Johnson from a wardrobe malfunction at the Venice Film Festival.

The “Fifty Shades of Grey” star almost had a nip slip when she attended a photocall for her new film with the director and her co-stars, including Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, and Chloe Moretz.

The actress was caught off guard when Guadagnino covered her breast with his palm, as if trying to grab it.

Dakota, who was dressed in a white sleeveless lace gown, smiled throughout the poses but appeared a bit uneasy when she looked down at the moment Luca’s hand covering her breast area.

According to observers who spoke with The Sun, Luca appears to have been playfully trying to protect Dakota’s cleavage area in the images.

It is unknown if any words were spoken at this time.

After the incident, the 28-year-old actress, who is known for baring it all onscreen, was seen smiling and resting on Guadagnino’s shoulders, as if she was grateful for the internvention.

Despite the awkward situation, Dakota appeared to be loving her role in Suspiria. Dakota plays Susie, a naive young lady from Ohio who turns up and discovers unexpected talents at the core of a dance group in the remake of the 1970s original. Dakota worked hard to perfect dancing routines for the film, which saw her forcefully tossing her body about. “It was amazing to discover that I could do that with my body, but it was a lot of work, it was a lot of training,” she told Reuters while in Venice. “I worked for six months before filming. I was filming another movie in Vancouver, the third Fifty Shades movie, and I would go after work or before to train with the trainer.”

The remake will be released in theaters in the United States on November 2.
