Cougar out on the town! Courteney Cox is a lady in black as she enjoys a girls night in Malibu

She was the star of hit sitcom Cougar Town.

And Courteney Cox was a lady out on the town as she partied with pals in Malibu at the weekend.

The Masters Of The Universe legend looked like she was having a great time as she posed for photos outside a nightspot in the California celebrity enclave.

The 52-year-old showcased a body many half her age would be proud of in a flattering black dress and high heels.

She also dabbled in naughty librarian chic by wearing a pair of thick-rimmed spectacles. 

The actress, who is engaged to musician Johnny McDaid, seemed to be relishing her night out with the girls, and wore a wide grin as she loitered outside exclusive Soho House.

Courteney stood up for her former Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston after she was quizzed on the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie divorce.

Step out in style in Courteney's sandals by Gianvito Rossi

We love a skyscraper heel as much as the next Carrie Bradshaw wannabe but sometimes we need to take things down a notch.

And luckily we can all work smaller heels and flats this autumn as they're one of the biggest trends of the season. So why not give your poor feet a break and update your wardrobe with a less vertiginous shoe?

Check out Courteney Cox for inspiration who was spotted out and about in Malibu last night rocking a cute but comfortable pair of sandals by Gianvito Rossi. They feature the designer's signature circular buckle and that sturdy mid-height block heel will ensure they're wearable all day long.

Click (right) to bag a pair at Neiman Marcus now and wear with a pair of cropped jeans and a cosy knit for a dressed down October weekend. Or get the look for less with the shoes in our edit below.

Speaking at a charity event in Los Angeles, she said: 'I feel like we’re exacerbating it by even talking about it. It’s not about her.'

The actress knows all about high profile breakups, as she was married to Scream co-star David Arquette from 1999 until 2013, though they separated three years earlier.

Courteney has been dating Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid since late 2013 and they announced their engagement via their Twitter accounts on June 26, 2014.

Although the rocker recently got Courteney's initials - CC - tattooed on his wrist, it seems he was happy to let his good lady have a night out with friends at the weekend
