The first instalment in the series made over $560 million worldwide and the hotly anticipated second and third films will, no doubt, be just as successful.
Recently Dakota opened up about her prep for Fifty Shades Darker – which is expected to be released in 2017 – and by the sounds of it, she’s really looking forward to getting back into her role as Ana.
“While reading the book, I found myself more interested in the ways the characters are breaking each other down emotionally than the sex scenes,” she told* Elle*. “I think there's a part of a woman that wants to be a thing that breaks a man down."

It was all about the plunge for Jamelia. We're not so keen on the boob-revealing frock but we heart the shoes

Mr Grey himself looked as dashing as ever, with his stunning wife Amelia by his side donning a chic printed frock. We want your pixie cut, Amelia! And your hubby. But we'll settle for your hair
