Dakota Johnson returns to the spotlight at LA screening as she makes her first public appearance since 'secret split and reconciliation' with Chris Martin
Dakota Johnson was back in the spotlight on Tuesday evening as she made her first public appearance since news of a secret split and reconciliation with Chris Martin emerged.
The actress joined director Christy Hall at AMC Century City for a Film Independent special screening of their 2023 movie, Daddio.
Johnson, 34 - who co-produced and starred in the low-budget drama - caught the eye in a white vest top and loose-fitting jeans, teamed with a stylish oversized blazer and heels.
The American star was attending the event while partner Chris Martin works his way across mainland Europe with Coldplay on their sprawling Music Of The Spheres world tour.
While Johnson took to the stage for a Q&A with Hall and co-star Sean Penn ahead of Tuesday's Los Angeles screening, Martin, 47, was onstage for the first of two consecutive Coldplay shows at Budapest's Puskas Arena.

Johnson and Martin are said to have hit snags in their relationship but are 'going strong' according to sources (pictured together in June 2022)
The couple, who have been together since 2017, are said to be 'going strong' as they each are busy with their individual careers.
But insiders claim they secretly separated after hitting a snag in their relationship, before discreetly reuniting.
A source told PEOPLE: 'They’ve had ups and downs, but now they’re definitely back on.'
Johnson recently premiered her HBO series Am I OK? She also premiered her latest feature Daddio at the Tribeca Film Festival on Monday.
Martin is currently on the tail end of his Music Of The Spheres Tour with Coldplay, which began in March 2022 and ends in November with multiple dates in New Zealand.
The last time the low-key power couple were seen together was in February during a loved up trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Then weeks later it was claimed that the two are 'engaged' back in March.
It was said at the time the Coldplay singer proposed to the actress 'a while ago' and has the full blessing of his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 51, and their children Apple, 19, and Moses, 17.

The couple have kept their romance private since they first began their relationship six years ago.
A source told The Mirror in March: 'The couple got engaged a while ago and have kept the news private. But now they are being open about it with their circles.
'They have been besotted with each other from day one so taking this next step was inevitable.
'They are in no rush to plan the wedding but are just enjoying making their commitment official.'
Johnson was also seen wearing an emerald green ring on her wedding finger at her 34th birthday in Los Angeles last October.

The couple met through mutual friends and have 'never really left each other' since, the actress told Vanity Fair in June 2022.
They were first spotted together in 2017, the year after the musician's divorce from Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth.
However, it was not initially clear if the couple were dating, or just close.
In June 2019, the pair had a wobble, rumoured to be a result of the Coldplay frontman pushing for them to have children.
This was a leap Johnson, in her professional prime, was reportedly not willing to take. However, before summer was up, they were back together.
Johnson's parents are actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.
They both split, with Don marrying Kelley Phleger in 1999 and Melanie tying the knot with Antonio Banderas in 1996. They divorced in 2015.
