Lea Michele has her summer style in check.

The 29-year-old Scream Queens star was photographed in Beverly Hills on Friday looking amazing in an outfit perfect for the year's warmest season.

Lea wore a white V-neck blouse with a skimpy pair of blue denim shorts that showcased her pins, a beige throw-over vest, sandal heels and a large black tote bag.

The Glee star, who stands 5ft3in, wore sunglasses on the bright Southern California day, as she smiled and laughed it up with a pal, soaking up the waning days of summer.

The following day, Lea shared Snapchats while getting ready for a photo shoot which was being styled by Brad Goreski.

The actress, who was born Lea Michele Sarfati, made headlines this week when she revealed she's currently unattached while doing a Facebook Live chat with Scream Queens co-stars John Stamos and Taylor Lautner.

Stamos introduced the topic during the segment, as he said to Lea, 'You're single ... she just told me as we were coming in, she goes, "I'm single now, it feels great."'

She confirmed the news, adding, 'It feels great! It feels so good.'

Being single is an especially good thing for Lea at this time, as her career continues to grow in new and exciting directions since Glee went off the air last year.

The multi-talented beauty is working on the second season of Scream Queens, and on Tuesday took to Snapchat to announce that she's just about finished with her follow-up to her 2014 album, Louder.

Total package: Gorgeous, talented and successful, Lea appears to have it all figured out in this shot

Up bright and early: The following day, Lea was taking part in a photo shoot and shared Snapchats while getting ready

'Secret shoot today!': The beauty wouldn't reveal what the shoot in question was for

She told fans in the clip, 'I'm at my record label about to play my whole new record for everyone, wish me luck!'

The brunette beauty's love life has been a rocky road in recent years, as she was reportedly briefly involved with One Tree Hill star Robert Buckley after her two-year relationship with aspiring model Matthew Paetz fizzled in February.

Her most famous relationship came with late Glee co-star Cory Monteith, who died July 13, 2013 following an overdose of heroin and alcohol, but is still well-remembered by Lea, who has gotten at least three tattoos to remember him by.

Two of the ink tributes directly refer to Finn Hudson, Monteith's football quarterback character on Glee.

One tattoo is a small number five - Finn's football number - under her arm; another is the character's name tattooed on the left side of her rear end; and yet another, on her rib cage, is a quotation of one of the last remarks the actor made to her: 'If you say so.'

Last month, Lea took to Twitter to remember her tragic beau on the third anniversary of his passing. She wrote, 'I know everyday you’re watching over me, and smiling. Love and miss you Cory, everyday, but today a little more.'
