Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Johnson are having a night just for the girls.
The two actresses were spotted dining out together at a restaurant in New York City on Saturday, May 31.
Arriving together in a car, The Hunger Games star, 34, and Madame Web actress, 35, almost matched in dressy casual looks, the former in an all-black ensemble and the latter in a black top, brown blazer and gray dress pants.
They also both sported wavy hair and sideswept bangs. Lawrence accessorized with an oxblood-covered purse and gold necklaces, while Johnson opted for a gemstone necklace and bright orange handbag.

Johnson, who is currently dating Coldplay singer Chris Martin, an ex of Lawrence’s, supported her friend recently at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The actresses were photographed hugging and laughing together at the May 17 after-party for Lawrence’s movie Die, My Love following its buzzy premiere at the fest.
The duo’s friendship is a bicoastal one; last October, Johnson and Lawrence grabbed beverages together in Los Angeles. The Silver Linings Playbook Oscar winner, pregnant at the time, has since welcomed her second child with Cooke Maroney, her husband since 2019.
Johnson and Martin, 48, were first romantically linked in 2017. Last August, a rep for the 50 Shades of Grey actress debunked rumors that they had broken up, while a source noted that the couple “are both very independent and actually have lives outside of their relationship too.”
Lawrence costars with Robert Pattinson and LaKeith Stanfield in director Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love, to be released by Mubi at a to-be-announced date. The actress-producer reportedly has The Wives, a murder mystery inspired by the Real Housewives reality franchise, in the works.
Johnson stars with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in Celine Song’s A24 romantic drama Materialists, in theaters June 13. She also features in Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19 and will be released by Neon on Aug. 22.
