Dakota Johnson made her latest public appearance at the Los Angeles screening of 'Materialists' a true family affair. The 35-year-old actress, who stars in the upcoming rom-com alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, was joined by her mom Melanie Griffith, siblings Stella Banderas, Grace Johnson, and Jesse Johnson.

The actress was also surrounded by a few other family members for the special evening. For the event, Dakota stepped out in a stunning white dress with a sheer skirt, pairing the look with no jewelry, a glamorous makeup look, and her signature brunette hairstyle.

Her mom, Melanie Griffith, was all smiles wearing a brown top paired with loose-fitting jeans and a khaki trench coat. Meanwhile, Stella Banderas, Griffith's daughter with ex-husband Antonio Banderas, looked stylish in a brown dress featuring ruching, complemented by a sleek leather coat.

"Most of us are artists," she said to the publication. "Even in my adult life and my new family, most of us are artists. Even the kids, they’re extraordinarily talented people. So you just are dealing with complex people. You grow and you embrace and you say, ‘F--k you and f--k off,’ and then 'I love you, come back.’”

"No matter how f---- up it is, or who’s in rehab, or who’s not speaking to whom, or who’s divorcing whom, we’re family," she continued. "And we are always going to be a family. It’s really real," she declared.
