The 18-year-old actress wore a sleeveless black cocktail dress with peplum and lace detail from the Pre-fall 2012 collection and was joined by Emily Blunt, desinger Elie Saab and Analeigh Tipton at the small event.

Dakota completed her look with Prada jewel-toe ‘Flame’ sandals and a Prada red poppy clutch.
