"I walked out with this big train, and I did it for the first time, because I was like, 'Oh, it's so pretty, and I feel princess-y," the 34-year-old actress explained. "And after I twirled once, I was twirling all night."

"All the photographers were like, 'Can you twirl?'" she added. "Then even on stage Tom made me twirl ... I'm the twirling dancing emoji now."
