Dakota wore a stunning black gown by Zuhair Murad. The dress had a plunging neckline and intricate detailing on the bodice. She finished the look with flowing waves in her hair and a bold red lip.

Both actresses were very busy when the event took place. Elle has been promoting her film, Sentimental Value, during awards season. She recently shared at the Palm Springs International Film Festival that she tends to overthink things, saying, “I’m a big dreamer, but I can get caught up in the future and start to worry, so I need to focus on enjoying the present.”

She’s also getting ready to play Effie Trinket in the upcoming movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which is scheduled to come out in late 2026.

Dakota is currently promoting her new film, The Sun Never Sets, which recently premiered at the South by Southwest festival. In the movie, she stars as a woman navigating a difficult relationship, and she also served as a producer. She shared that filming in Alaska was a particularly meaningful experience for her.

The sisters will star together in the upcoming film, The Nightingale, which is based on Kristin Hannah’s novel. The movie, directed by Michael Morris, tells the story of two sisters during World War II and is scheduled for release in 2027.
