The Pasta & Pizza Edition: Vogue’s Red-Flag Romp with Dakota Johnson & Pedro Pascal
Imagine high fashion crashing into dinner-table chatter, and you get The Pizza & Pasta Edition. Vogue’s Off the Cuff just served up a guest lesson in effortless celebrity charm, starring Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal in full-carbohydrate mode. From runway-ready looks to sudden food feuds, this is the interview we didn’t know we needed but now can’t stop trait-watching.
Walking into frame against a backdrop of florals and candlelight, Dakota and Pedro instantly redefine “casual glamour.” Dakota: minimalist queen—tousled hair, simple top; still, every seam screams designer. Pedro: laid-back sophisticate in designer freedom—Chic Tío meets Santa Monica brunch. Together, they’re a contrast and chemistry like black olives on white sauce: unexpectedly good.
We sharpened our forks for the rapid-fire rounds, but stayed, too, for the Look Guessing segment, where they riffed on past red carpet looks with more precision than runway critics.
Of course, the culinary clash is where it gets saucy. The question: Pizza or pasta? Dakota leads with her pasta defense (“there’s a T in pasta”—iconic), but ultimately caves to pizza’s cheesy charm. Pedro, ever the rebel, reps the team’s pineapple pizza and declares, “Pizza!”
Their back-and-forth crackles not just with food opinions, but with genuine delight, like friends debating restaurant orders at 1 AM, not scripted for PR. We stan realness.
This isn’t Vogue-lite—it’s Vogue, unfiltered. The duo had us in stitches over on-set shenanigans: Pedro miming falls; Dakota revealing she actually got whiplash filming Fifty Shades. “Jamie Dornan threw me on a bed… I woke up and couldn’t move my neck.”
They lost it, and so did we. Shared laughter so earnest, it’s like we crashed their recording.
Then they fanned other flames—favorite emojis (Pedro: full-tears cry; Dakota: elegant middle finger), secret talents (Dakota balances things on her head and makes hummus!), and guilty gastronomic pleasures (greatness meets green hummus)
“Off the Cuff” brings the heat in lightning rounds: Favorite books? Judy Blume’s Are You There God? – major nostalgia points
Reality-TV dreams? Pedro–Couples Therapy stan, for the drama; Dakota–Great British Bake Off dreams in Canada. Sandals or stilettos? They debate sandal etiquette like sommeliers discussing vintage—unexpected levels of passion. The vibe? Brisk, bantery, and unscripted.
Cue social media meltdown. Reddit’s r/Pedro_Pascal called it a chaotic giggle-fest that “devolves into giggles very fast.” TikTok’s replay of their pasta-pizza edition games smackdown in a loop, and memes crown Dakota’s “pasta face” and Pedro’s pineapple zeal.
It’s raw, it’s viral, and it proves what we’ve suspected: the internet always craves slices of character over curated content.
In just six minutes, Vogue served us friendship, fashion, and f-bombs—with a side of carbs. Dakota and Pedro bared nostalgia, niceness, and noodle preferences with charm, cheek, and more chemistry than any promo tour we’ve seen this year.
Forget PR polish. Here was warmth in their voices, belly laughs in both tones, and a fashion that served and sassed. It felt real, and in that glow, Vogue evolved from glossy magazine to living, breathing conversation.
This is more than an interview, it’s a mood. A vibe. A pizza-and-pasta-powered peek into two people we love watching be themselves.
