Hilarie Burton, Bethany Joy Lenz and Sophia Bush had a reunion of sorts when they attended the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2022 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, this weekend.
The One Tree Hill stars, who have remained close friends since the drama series ended in 2012, were able to take the stage and introduce 1980s rocker icon Pat Benatar and her husband and collaborator Neil Giraldo.
The three ladies have since taken to their respective Instagram pages to gush about their weekend in Sin City, in particular the time spent with the Hit Me With Your Best Shot star.
Reunited! One Tree Hill alum Hilarie Burton, Bethany Joy Lenz and Sophia Bush teamed up to serve as presenters on day one of the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday.
The trio, who host the Drama Queens podcast, which is an iHeart production, would first walk the red carpet ahead of the first day of the festival.
The ladies struck poses both individually and then in a united tandem, where they showed off their undeniable chemistry.
Lenz, who played Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill, stood in the middle of her two girlfriends in a metallic gold mini dress with a large embellished bow on the left side.
For an extra dash of sexy style, the 41-year-old actress donned fishnet stockings to go with her black platform heels.
Her look was completed with blonde braids styled to shoulder length with added volume and a middle part.

Burton, who played Peyton Sawyer on the show, opted for a sparkly black and red suit consisting of pants that hugged her hips while flared from the knees down.
The matching top was left unbuttoned just enough to show off her cleavage.
The 50-year-old Sterling, Va. native also opted for wedge heels and had her long locks pulled out of her face, save for a few strands that she let fall over her left eye.
