"When your best friend is the most talented, funny, beautiful, generous, humble human being it's hard to not smile until it hurts," she wrote on Instagram. "Ellen, I am so proud of you and will always be grateful for everything you are and will always be to me."
She also posted a photo where she posed with Page and Thompson where she mentioned their chic looks. "When you're not sure if you're a YSL Campaign or really stylish waiters," Rose joked on Instagram.
