Selena Gomez took time off filming her latest project with Woody Allen yesterday to surprise her friend, Dakota Johnson, at the New York Film Festival, and it looked to be the most adorable BFF moment.

Ahead of the screening of filmmaker Luca Guadagnino's drama Call Me By Your Name - which stars Gomez's current co-star Timothy Chalamet - Selena snuck up on her friend - who celebrated her 28th birthday yesterday - outside the venue and they started hugging and chatting before taking selfies with their fans.

Until now, we were unaware the 25-year-old and Fifty Shades actress were a tight-knit duo, but we presume the pair might have struck up a friendship via common BFF, Taylor Swift.

The duo also share celebrity stylist, Kate Young.

Earlier in the day, the 'Fetish' singer was seen filming in the Big Apple and paused between takes to take photographs with her fans.

Selena's busy day comes days after she revealed she works out at home in her underwear.

'When I'm at home, it can be very intimate. Maybe just a sports bra and maybe some little spanky kind of cute things.

'And when I'm out, then it's the typical: something slouchy that feels sexy that I can take off. It's about layering and cute little socks,' the face of Puma explained to Vogue.

We wonder if Selena and Dakota work out together?
