Tara Reid looks glam in sequin blazer as she cozies up to mystery man at opening of TAO venue in Hollywood

Tara Reid brought some sophisticated chic to the Tao Group Los Angeles Grand Opening Block Party on Thursday.

The 41-year-old actress looked great in a striking black and white blazer encrusted with sequins.

She kept the rest of her look understated in black pants and a short top which flashed a little midriff.

A diamond heart-shaped necklace added a little bling to her look. 

It's been a fun week for the star as on Wednesday night she was out with pal Dean May, the partner she got kicked off reality show Marriage Boot camp with after they admitted faking their relationship.

The duo were all smiles as they hit Nightingale nightclub together in Los Angeles.

They were axed from Marriage Boot Camp last August when producers became suspicious that their relationship wasn't the real deal - after overhearing conversations between the two.

The counselors' suspicions were confirmed when they overheard a private chat in which the duo admitted to being just friends who were chasing fame and money.  

Confronted, they initially acted ignorant - with Dean calling the claims 'ridiculous' and insisting: 'We have had a romantic relationship in our 15 years of friendship, of course!'

But they were confronted by Tara also having given admitting earlier to a producer earlier their key motivation for being there, saying: 'Part of the reason we did the show is he owes money in taxes, and he could use the money, and he wouldn't mind the fame.'

Dean quickly flipped out, accusing his 'best friend' of 'throwing everybody under the bus' - and it soon became clear that even though they are not a couple their ferocious fights were not necessarily all an act.

Meanwhile, Tara has several film commitments keeping her busy this year.

She is set to star in the fifth installment of her hugely successful Sharknado film franchise, as well as the drama thriller Worthless.

She will also grace the big screen with the flicks - Dark Ascension, Due Justice, Baby Bulldog and Andy The Talking Hedgehog.
