While backstage at the Nevada film festival, Amanda hung out with Bryce Dallas Howard, who was there to promote Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom with her onscreen leading man Chris Pratt.
The Mean Girls alum’s sighting came a day after she blasted the New York Times’ chief theater critic for being ‘classist’ against her husband Thomas Sadoski’s new play Belleville.

The Pennsylvania-born blonde – who boasts 3.8M social media followers – tweeted: ‘Um, okay, Ben Brantley, but poor people can be smart, too. Don’t be a classist hack.’

Jenna Worsham’s Paris-set play about newlyweds (played by Sadoski and Anna Camp) runs through May 13 at the Pasadena Playhouse in California.
