While it's not known who her companion on Friday night was, the blonde beauty was dressed for a fun night out.

She wore  cropped black skintight leggings with a pair of twoering black heels.

She added a colorful mohair jacket and carried a white purse that had the words 'blah blah' written on it in black and red.

Her friend, with whom she was clearly at ease, had on a grey t-shirt.
