From red sole to barefoot: Worse for wear Tara Reid clings on for dear life after shedding her designer heels to leave club

A lot can happen in a few hours if you're Tara Reid, including losing your designer shoes.
The American Pie actress started Wednesday night at a classy art preview, but ended it staggering barefoot out of a nightclub in Hollywood.
Blonde Tara looked dishevelled and incoherent as she left the Emerson Theatre.

The 37-year old was being held up by a male friend, and she clung to him as she tried to navigate the steps outside the newly opened club.
Sadly, the concrete steps were too much for the actress to handle, and she managed to lose her shoes.

But even after somehow kicking off her studded Christian Louboutin stilettos, she still found it hard to maintain a steady balance.

As her friend helped her navigate the hoardes of eager paparazzi, she revealed her toenails which were painted lilac like her fingertips.
There was further embarrassment for the ex-Celebrity Big Brother contestant as she zig-zagged her way to the main road to hail a taxi.
Her tight black jeans began to fall down, and she revealed a portion of her red and white polka dot knickers, as well as a large portion of her lower back.

There was no sign of her designer shoes as she finally got inside a taxi to head away from the club.
The Christian Louboutin Pigalle evening pumps retail at £900, so she hopefully passed them to a friend for safe keeping.
Tara never seems to tire of the party circuit, and is regularly seen out and about at various red carpet events.

But it seems the time has come for her to upgrade to some more hard-wearing make-up, judging by her shiny appearance earlier that night.
She appeared to have left her face powder at home while attending the Park Place A Solo Show By Alec Monopoly at LAB ART in Los Angeles, where she began the night's revelry.
While Tara's eye make-up and lipgloss looked flawless as she posed up for photographers, the American Pie actress' lack of mattifying powder gave her overall appearance a less-than-attractive sheen.

Despite her shiny look, Tara looked otherwise well put together for the event.
The pretty blonde star wore a black jumper with a Peter Pan collar, teamed with skinny black jeans and metallic heels for the star-studded occasion.
Tara finished off her ensemble with a quirky grey studded hat and a clutch bag.
As well as posing up with Monopoly himself, Tara was also photographed standing alongside David Schechtmann.
Later in the evening, Tara was seen having a brief chat with actress Michelle Rodriguez, who was also present for the evening.

Other stars to make an appearance at the event included Mr Selfridge star Jeremy Piven, who looked smart in dark trousers, a checked shirt and sweater vest.

The 47-year-old star topped off his ensemble with a pair of dark-rimmed glasses as he posed up with stunning 23-year-old model Natalie Morris.
Monopoly is one of the hottest young artists on the Los Angeles scene at the moment, and is known for his satirical messages through his work using the Monopoly man to reference contemporary situations.
