“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.”

The actress showed off her sartorial sass by going braless underneath her custom plunging yellow frock. The dress featured a low-dipped neckline, open sides, and a sexy v-back, offering a generous glimpse of Dakota’s flesh. It also featured a bejeweled waistband and matching epaulets, which provided a touch of Grecian goddess vibe.

Dakota completed the look with minimal jewelry, including rings and earrings. She wore her blonde tresses straight and soft, feminine makeup.
