She had just two minutes to flee her home in the midst of the Los Angeles wildfires.

But actress Lea Michele, 31, put her worries behind her for an evening as she dined out with her friend, fellow actress JoAnna Garcia, 38, after the TV network ABC's Holiday Party in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Carrying her late-night treats, Lea grabbed attention in a curve-hugging midnight blue floral mini-dress, showcasing her incredibly toned legs to perfection.

The Glee alum kept cosy in a matching long navy jacket, and added a touch of sparkle with sequined blue heels, which showed off her intimate foot tattoos.

Lea swept her raven locks up into an elegant high bun, accentuating the glamour of her halter-dress neckline. She turned up the sophistication with a blue smokey eye, bold mascara and deep berry lip.

The singer turned author bought her midnight snack with friend JoAnna, who also looked the picture of elegance in a baby blue bustier gown.

The Freaks and Geeks star kept it classic with the body-hugging ensemble, letting her auburn hair fall naturally by her shoulders.

Adding a touch of glitz, JoAnna added a diamond statement ring and matching earrings, giving a perfect touch of glamour.

Lea reached out to her friend after fleeing her home as the Los Angeles wildfire rages on.

She took to Instagram to thank JoAnna, saying: 'Not only did she take me in today but we get to attend tonight's ABC Holiday Party together...I love you'.

The Mayor star also attended the The Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 Women in Entertainment Breakfast on Wednesday, and told E! News that she'd rather be safe than sorry.

Adding: 'It's so crazy because yesterday when there were those duel fires, I had such a strong feeling and then when I woke up this morning.

'Thankfully I woke up early for this event—and when everyone was coming to get me ready, they said we gotta go so I just threw my cat in my bag and I left. I'm someone who doesn't risk anything'.

Lea continued, 'I'd rather just be safe so I packed everything up and I went to Brad Goreski's house. Everything will be fine but it's just better to be safe than sorry and I'm happy that I made it here today.'

Speaking to host outlet Hollywood Reporter at the same event, she said: 'I had two minutes to think of what I can take and I grabbed my cat and that's all. It really doesn't matter, all you need is to surround yourself with the people that you love. These "things" - nothing matters.'

Many other celebrities expected to attend the breakfast had to cancel due to safety concerns, including Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.

Lea Michele knows how to work the camera and here she is flaunting her fashion credentials in a dress by designer Lela Rose. Lea works with stylist Brad Goreski who often gets her red carpet ready and looking amazing. No doubt it was he who completed this look with a pair of chic, strappy sandals.

It is often assumed that floral dresses are solely summer territory but that is not necessarily the case. Recently we've seen lots of winter florals from the likes of Balenciaga and Erdem.

A floral dress like this is a brilliant investment as it gets you through summer wedding season (paired with a chic hat and slingbacks) and they also work well for party season. Sport Peter Pilotto's embroidered cady dress with a faux fur coat and stilettos this Christmas. Think cost per wear, people!

For a bargain spin on the trend head to Zara and pick up their knotted floral print dress. To be worn with thigh high boots this winter, complete with chunky gold jewellery.
