She has been seen getting cosy with pop star Justin Bieber over the last month.

But Sofia Richie headed on a solo outing on Thursday night, as she ventured out for dinner with a friend in Los Angeles.

The 18-year-old enjoyed a bite to eat at swanky new Italian restaurant Serafina on Sunset Boulevard, in a trendy jacket and jeans - without her beau by her side.

The aspiring model looked casual but cool in a funky oversized leather jacket, that featured sporty white tracksuit sleeves.

Underneath she kept things simple with a pink T-shirt and light blue skinny jeans which were ripped at the knee, showing off her slim legs.

Maintaining her kooky style throughout, the blonde daughter of Lionel Richie added some retro magenta velvet loafers.

Sofia proved why she caught the world-famous singer's eye by showing off her naturally clear and glowing complexion, as she went make-up free for the outing.

The star was accompanied by a gal pal for the delicious dinner out, catching up after Sofia's recent romantic holiday to Mexico with Justin himself.

The teen and her friend looked in good spirits as they headed for home in Sofia's car, despite being apart from her reported new beau.

People reported earlier this month that Justin, 22, and Sofia have been enjoying a 'love fest', but the relationship is not that serious because he travels so much.

It was also added that he has known Sofia for several years and always had an eye on her, waiting until she turned 18 to date her.

The pair have been seen on multiple public outings together, with the Ontario-born singer spending much of the last few weeks pampering Sofia for her 18th birthday.

The pair celebrated together on the night of her birthday earlier this month at the swanky Doheny Room in West Hollywood, reportedly sneaking out the back exit.

After a shopping trip to Barney's New York, the loved-up couple then jetted off to Los Cabos, Mexico where they were seen packing on the PDA, to finish celebrations in style.

However despite the blissful summer romance, Sofia has endured a lot of scrutiny since she first went public with the Baby singer in early August.

Not only did his fans slam her on Instagram, which threw Justin into a rage, but his ex Selena Gomez criticized Bieber for posting photos on social media with his new love.

This caused a war of words on Instagram between Bieber and Gomez - who split in 2015 after four years of dating.

She accused him of cheating, while he alleged that she was seeing Zayn Malik (who is now dating her friend Gigi Hadid).
