Hey ladies!

Today, Dakota Fanning turns the big 1-6, and she already started celebrating this milestone birthday! This past weekend, the New Moon star hit the town with 40 of her besties in tow for a fun b-day dinner at Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills. "She looked like she was having fun and was really cool," an eyewitness reveals. "She was talking to her friends and laughing all night."

Join us in wishing Dakota the sweetest Sweet 16 birthday ever, TWIST girls! Send her your b-day wishes in a comment right here, we know she'll be thrilled to hear from you!

Hugs,
Kourt
