Harriet Blackmore joined her co-star Samantha Kenny for a night out in London on Saturday night.
The Love Island contestants stunned in all-black ensembles during an evening out at Armenian restaurant Lusin in Mayfair.
Harriet, 24, who was axed from the ITV2 reality show last weekend, opted for a lace two-piece ensemble, comprising a one-shoulder crop top and matching skirt.
She paired her outfit with a pair of gold peep-toe heels and carried a small black clutch bag.
Samantha, 26, rocked a strapless mini dress which she paired with a glitzy metallic shoulder bag and strappy heels.

Love Island viewers were left in shock last Friday as they watched Harriett and Ronnie Vint get booted from the villa after receiving the fewest votes from the public.
During the ITV2 reality show’s instalment, islanders received a surprise text message asking them to gather around the campfire and three couples were told to stand up because they received a low number of votes.
The three couples included were Grace Jackson, 25, and Konnor Ewudzi, 28, Uma Jammeh, 23, and Wil Anderson, 23, and Harriett Blackmore, 24, and Ronnie Vint, 27.
Jess White, 25, then received a text saying Harriett and Ronnie had been left behind in the villa and needed to pack their things.
This comes after Harriett responded to claims she “defended” a Premier League footballer after he was accused of allegedly “attacking a group of women”.
A video has resurfaced of Harriett showing her telling an unnamed woman: “He’s a Premier League footballer, please leave him alone,” and one social media user said she “swore at us because her brother and his friends attacked us one night in Brighton.”
She told MailOnline she was simply trying to “defuse” the situation, which she said took place “years ago” in her hometown.
However, the dancer and personal shopper insists that the people involved were “antagonising” the mystery athlete, as well as his brother, and that she did not think it was “fair” that they were “shoving cameras in his face”.

This comes after Harriett responded to claims she “defended” a Premier League footballer after he was accused of allegedly “attacking a group of women”.
A resurfaced video shows Harriett telling a woman “He’s a Premier League footballer, leave him alone,” with one social media user saying she “dissed us.”
She said: ‘The video was many years ago, if it’s the one I’m thinking of… there’s nothing to say about that story.
‘If you’ve seen it, you can see that all I’m trying to do is defuse the situation, it was actually one of my very good friends, who’s in the public eye, he’s a football player, and my brother, and these fans… people were harassing him, we were just trying to enjoy our night and I didn’t think it was fair that people were putting cameras in his face.
“I was just trying to mediate the situation and get them away from him.”
In the social media clip, a woman, whose identity remains unknown, said: “You punched my friend” before Harriett replied: “He’s a Premier League football player, please leave him alone” and the woman reiterated: “I don’t care, he punched my friend.”
After Harriett was confirmed for the show this week, one Instagram user added: “Love Island, do better (yes I have a video of that).”
But sources close to the contestant, who has been told of ITV’s backlash as she self-isolates ahead of the show’s launch without internet access, say she is “upset” and feels the situation has been blown out of proportion.
They added: ‘Harriett can’t wait to get to the Love Island villa but this setback has hit her hard – it’s the last thing she wanted to happen.
“She maintains that there is no larger story here and viewers will hopefully see that she is the kind of person who defuses drama rather than creates it.”
The dancer insists that the people involved were “antagonizing” the mystery athlete, as well as his brother, and that she did not think it was “fair” that they were “shoving cameras in his face.”
Speaking about the potential for drama and clashes with her future co-stars, Harriett insists she’s a “girl’s girl” and wouldn’t stand in the way if she and a friend were interested in pursuing the same man.
She said: ‘I’m a mediator, of course I’ll always stand up for what’s right and I’ll always be a good friend, but no, I wouldn’t get involved in the drama, I would try to calm the situation down.
“I’m a girl who’s nice to girls, so I want to say now that I wouldn’t want to step on their toes, but at the end of the day, we’re all there for the same reason and you don’t know these people before… your ultimate goal is to find love, if you have to step on some people’s toes to get there, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
