Haute Event: Aimee Teegarden Turns 21 at Tabu Ultra Lounge

“Friday Night Lights” starlet Aimee Teegarden celebrated her 21st birthday at Tabú Ultra Lounge inside MGM Grand last night. Known as high school student “Julie Taylor” in the series, the coach’s daughter traded in her school books and brought out her sexy side to Vegas.

While currently filming for her roles in “Scream 4” and “Prom,” Teegarden took a break from her busy acting schedule to celebrate with the ultimate Sin City birthday bash. On her way to Vegas, the newly legal Teegarden excitingly tweeted, “Vegas here we come!!!”

After enjoying an intimate dinner with her closest friends at MGM Grand’s Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak, the blonde bombshell hit the red carpet looking grown up and sophisticated in a blue sequined dress that buttoned up the back with black patent pumps. Her simple gold hoops and sparkling bracelet were the perfect accents to her red polished nails and glossy side-swept bangs.

Continuing inside Tabú, the young actress was treated in VIP style as she mingled and danced with friends. DJ Loczi played a funky version of 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” as a beautiful, three-tier cake was delivered to her table and the crowd repeatedly sang, “It’s your birthday.” With a gracious smile, Teegarden pulled back her long, blonde hair and blew out the candles as friends and fans cheered for the budding actress. A birthday to remember, the lovely starlet toasted with friends to another successful year. The final season of “Friday Night Lights” premieres Oct. 27 on DirecTV.
