For the show's promo video alongside Justin and regular star Sarah Sherman, the star wore a daring black mini-dress with a cross-shoulder detail and cut-out panels on the bust. She polished off the look with elegant sheer black tights. Later, Dakota opted for a halter neck jumpsuit, complete with a gold-buckled belt around the waist.

The actress, who is dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has been doing the talk show rounds in recent times to promote her movie, in which she has the starring role in the Marvel Comics movie, alongside co-stars Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merce and Emma Roberts.

Prior to her appearance on, Dakota appeared on where she put to bed previous headlines that suggested she needed 14 hours to sleep. After being quizzed by the host about it being a "long time to sleep", the actress laughed and said: "I said that I could easily sleep 14 hours but I don't, like, demand it. I'm not a monster!"

She added: "I have a job! Leave me alone!

"I'm just asleep, I'm literally doing nothing. I'm just sleeping. I don't have to take anything to sleep like that, either", Dakota insisted. "I can just sleep like that. I think if I took an Ambien, I'd wake up next year."
