She plays a bitchy, backstabbing cheerleader on hit show Glee.
But Naya Rivera was not short of friends to help her toast her 24th birthday in Las Vegas this weekend.
And her fellow Glee clubbers certainly their hair down in sin city as they partied hard at The Bank Nightclub in the Bellagio hotel.
The group, which included star Cory Monteith, as well as Heather Morris, Harry Shum, Jenna Ushkowitz, Chord Overstreet, Kevin McHale and Amber Riley, looked like they'd been at the champagne as they sang Happy Birthday.
While she is in a supporting role onscreen, there was little doubt who was the leading lady at last night's birthday bash. And she played up to the occasion.
Naya, who plays Cheerio Santana, dazzled in a bronze sequinned dress and towering nude heels.
Posing inside the venue, the stunning brunette worked the tiny dress, which showed off her figure with its short hemline and plunging back.
The Glee students are not exactly known for their clean cut antics on the show, and the stars were not shy in letting loose in Las Vegas.
Amber Riley and Chord Overstreet appeared decidedly dishevelled at the party, as Jenna Ushkowitz and Heather Morris giggled and struggled to stay upright.
Meanwhile Kevin McHale blatantly ogled the attractive blonde waitress presenting Naya with her cake.
Cory Monteith appeared to miss out on the birthday cake, but may have been hitting up the casino, tweeting during the night: 'Vegas! Betting it all. Red or black?'
Missing from the festivities were Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Dianna Agron.
Lea, who stars as good girl Rachel Barry, was held up with mysterious work commitments in Los Angeles.
The actress tweeted: 'It's very rare that u could have so much fun working on a weekend! Can't spill the beans yet as 2 what I was up 2 2day..but it was awesome! (sic)'
Mark Salling, who portrays bad boy Puck on the show, was also noticeably absent.
He and Naya were an item during the first season of the show, but broke up when heartthrob Mark said he was 'not in a committed or exclusive relationship.'
The pair were later forced to deny internet rumours that Rivera had egged and keyed his car when she found out he was seeing other women.
Despite his absence from her birthday, both have insisted they are the 'best of friends.'
The entire cast is riding high after taking home three awards at last week's Golden Globes, including Best Supporting actor gongs for Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch.
A sneak preview of a song from their highly anticipated Superbowl episode, to be aired after the game in the U.S. on February 6, has been released.
The gang sing a mash-up of Michael Jackson's Thriller and Yeah Yeah Yeah‘s Heads Will Roll.
'You can never re-create something as incredible as Thriller, and I don’t think we’re trying to,' Lea Michele recently told Entertainment Weekly. 'We’re making it our own.'
