Aubrey Plaza attended Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary celebration on Sunday, marking her first public appearance since her husband, Jeff Baena, died last month.
During the special, Aubrey introduced a musical performance from Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard while sporting a tie-dye shirt under a blazer.
The Parks And Recreation actor has previously spoken about how she and her late husband wore tie-dye outfits when they tied the knot.
In 2021, Aubrey told Drew Barrymore that her husband had really gotten into tie-dyeing during the pandemic.
So, when they got married at their home on a whim in 2020, she “decided that Jeff and I were going to wear tie-dye pyjamas that he had made for us”.
Jeff, a director and screenwriter known for his work on indie films, died by suicide on 3 January, at the age of 47.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support,” Aubrey said in a joint statement with Jeff’s other family members at the time. “Please respect our privacy during this time.”
She and Jeff had been together for more than a decade and had collaborated on a number of films and projects, including Life After Beth and The Little Hours.
