Dakota Fanning attended the 2016 Elle Women in Hollywood Awards at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Monday.
The 22-year-old actress arrived to present an award to her close pal and “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart. She took to the stage in a bright yellow dress, and told the audience about her friendship with Kristen.
“I can honestly say that my friendship with Kristen is one of the most special bonds in my life,” Dakota said. “She has held my hair back as I told her (of) heartbreak, she has always been there for me when I have needed her most.
“I am proud to call you one of my best friends in this world, you are my sister forever.”

Dakota turned to stylist Samantha McMillen for her sensational red — or rather, green — carpet look. She ditched her typical conservative style and instead went the daring route in a Miu Miu pleated dress.
The actress showed off her sartorial sass and went braless underneath her custom plunging yellow frock. The dress featured a low dipped neckline, open sides and a sexy v-back, and offered a generous glimpse of Dakota’s flesh. It also featured a bejeweled waistband and matching epaulettes, which provided a touch of Grecian-goddess vibe.
Dakota styled the look with minimal jewelry, including a couple of rings and earrings. She wore her blonde tresses straight and sported soft, feminine makeup.

Dakota completed her sunshine yellow look with a pair of yellow satin sandals, called “Tamara” by Brian Atwood. These sandals have crisscross ankle straps, open toes and about four-inch heels.
These sandals are already sold out, but you can check out new styles at Saks and Net-A-Porter.
