Piper Perabo cut a sexy figure in her 2000 cult classic film Coyote Ugly.
The movie followed Violet Sanford (Perabo), who leaves her hometown in New Jersey to pursue her dreams of becoming a songwriter in New York City.
The romantic comedy/drama, based on the actual Coyote Ugly Saloon, was directed by David McNally and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Perabo, who has since appeared on the hit series Yellowstone, made the rare move of stepping out on Tuesday evening in New York City.
The 48-year-old from Texas was at the red carpet premiere of the series Butterfly looking as glamorous as ever in a pale pink gown with silver high heels.
Butterfly follows David Jung (played by Daniel Dae Kim), a former US intelligence operative. When the consequences of a decision from his past come back to haunt him, he finds himself pursued by Rebecca, a sociopathic agent assigned to kill him.
Perabo will appear in six episodes of season one.
