Lea Michele returned home from the sandy beaches of Mexico nearly two weeks ago.

But the 27-year-old is still sporting a decent tan from the sunshine-filled trip.

The Glee star was in great spirits on Thursday as she exited her vehicle showing off her sunkissed skin and making her way into a Los Angeles restaurant with a tall, blonde female friend.

Lea, who plays Rachel Berry on FOX's hit musical TV series, dressed for lunch in a blue and white Mayan-like print playsuit.

She wore her brunette tresses secured with a black headband and tied back in a ponytail.

The starlet finished off her summer look with a pair of aviator sunglasses, strappy black sandals, a bright red manicure, and delicate silver and diamond jewellery.

The bronzed beauty also brought along a present, wrapped up in a pink and green floral bag, to her lunch meeting.

While the friend she arrived with doesn't appear to be her best friend, Stephanie Herman, it is in fact Herman's birthday.

Lea tweeted early Wednesday morning, 'Happy Birthday today to my best friend @steph_hart! Love you so much!'.

Lea, the former girlfriend and co-star of the late actor Cory Monteith, has spent the last year mourning her loved one's tragic death.

Monteith, whose passing will be a year ago on Sunday, died of an overdose in a hotel in Vancouver, Canada on July 13.

The actress has recently started dating a 'love and dating coach', Matthew Paetz, after meeting him on the set of her music video for single On My Way.

At least she's willing to sport a tan....I thought that was grounds for exile in Hollywood these days. Begging for cancer, or whatever the holier-than-thou sunscreen addicts say...

You know, southern California being actually sunny, is a great place for a tan , you don¿t need to go to Mexico for it.

"Playsuits" should not be worn by adults. I don't care how much in fashion they are, they look hideous. Teenage girls can just about get away with them, but not adult women. Awful.

This girl is trying to become the next b-list trainwreck I have heard she is a nasty person to work with and she surrounds herself with users.
