Dakota Johnson is coming clean.

While being honored last night at the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration, the Fifty Shades of Grey star she not only gushed over her mom Melanie Griffith and grandmother Tippi Hedren, but she also took the opportunity to reveal some of her questionable music and fashion choices.

"I want to thank you both for encouraging me and supporting me in all of my endeavors, excluding the time you let me cornrow my hair on vacation and my scalp got sunburned and also when I thought it would be cool to pierce my belly button and I wore dangling jewelry from it," said Johnson, 26.

"Also excluding when I went through that phase of listening to Phish, the ska band spelled with a 'P-h' and when I changed my name to my cellular telephone voicemail to Bliss," she continued. "Basically, I want to un-thank you for all the times I embarrassed myself and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything else," she said.

Leslie Mann presented Johnson with the Calvin Klein Spotlight Award.

"Dakota's performance in Fifty Shades of Grey is really remarkable because in the movie she too plays a virgin and you believe it—but in real life she is not," Mann deadpanned. "In real life, I feel like she would eat [Christian Grey]. She would suspend him from the ceiling and smack him open like a piñata."

Johnson and Mann co-star in the upcoming rom-com How to Be Single. The film is set for release Feb. 12.
