Promoting their films The Lost Daughter and The Power of the Dog respectively, as part of a lineup celebrating the year’s most talked-about movies, the A-listers cut chic figures in tailored tan and black ensembles.
The sighting comes after Dakota, 32, was praised by Drew Barrymore over the viral 2019 video of her calling out Ellen DeGeneres for lying about not being invited to the Fifty Shades of Grey star’s birthday party.
