SHARKNADO and American Pie star Tara Reid turned heads with a bold new look on the red carpet this week.

Reid unveiled the new look at the Los Angeles premiere of the new sci-fi epic Valerian and The City of a Thousand Planets.

The famously slender star showed off her small frame in a pair of black pants with a low-cut, strapless boob tube up top.

“I’ve definitely felt bullying in my life. With media or press or just different things in my life,” she told E! News earlier this month. “People always say I don’t eat. I eat all the time. They call me scary skinny ... Everyone knows I eat more than anyone. I’m just a thin girl.”

“I got lipo because even though I was skinny, I wanted — I’m not going to lie — a six pack,” she said.
