Dakota Johnson has landed her first cover of Vogue, she features on the cover of the American edition's February issue.

Johnson, is the star of the upcoming film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey which is released later next month.

This is the first major magazine cover for the 25 year old actress.

Rather than go down the predictably raunchy route, Johnson is depicted in a series of designer outfits in a relatively safe manner.

The shoot was photographed by iconic fashion photographer Mario Testino.
