Dakota Johnson hosted Saturday Night Live on her birthday (October 3), and then attended an after party, which doubled as her birthday bash!

The 37-year-old actress was seen arriving at L’Avenue at Saks after the show ended in the early morning hours of Sunday (October 4) in New York City.

If you have not seen, Dakota welcomed her friend Taylor Swift on stage during her monologue!

Once Taylor came into frame, Dakota introduced her as “my literal therapist.”

“I’m not your therapist, actually. You just show up once a week at my house with an empty bottle of wine and ask if I want some,” Taylor said, to which Dakota replied, “Yeah, well I have manners.”

Dakota has hosted SNL three times now: once in 2015, once in 2024, and again last night.
