Forget yesterday's pre-Emmy Award party, Tara Reid attended last night's (August 21) true primetime event - the Sharknado 2: The Second One movie premiere.
The 38-year-old actress, who reprises her role as April Wexler for the Sharknado sequel, arrived in a plunging neon pink crop top and matching high-waisted skirt for the Asylum & Fathom Events screening at the Regal cinema.
She was joined by co-star and estranged on-screen husband Ian Ziering, as well as producers David Garber, David Latt and David Rimawi.
Sharknado 2 made its SyFy debut on July 30, and proved a smash hit in the ratings with approximately 3.90m viewers and a 1.3 Nielsen ratings score.
The tongue-in-cheek disaster movie, which sees the Sharknado hit New York City, features the likes of Vivica A. Fox, Kari Wuhrer, Kelly Osbourne and Judah Friedlander.
Reid recently admitted that she was embarrassed by the first Sharknado film and refused to promote it before...
