Aubrey Plaza is making a remarkable return to the public eye at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025. This significant event showcases her resilience and talent as she steps onto the red carpet once again.
On May 23, the White Lotus star attended a special screening of her latest film, Honey Don’t!, in the beautiful city of France. This occasion marks her first public appearance after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Jeff Baena, who tragically died by suicide at the age of 47 just five months prior.
For this memorable outing, which was particularly poignant given the circumstances, Aubrey dazzled in a stunning floor-length, see-through white gown adorned with colorful bead embellishments that caught the light beautifully. To complete her sophisticated look, the 40-year-old actress styled her deep brown hair in elegant curls and complemented her outfit with eye-catching dangly earrings and chic strappy heels, demonstrating her impeccable fashion sense.
During her time on the iconic red carpet, Aubrey was not alone. She shared the spotlight with her talented costars from the film, including Margaret Qualley and Charlie Day. Notably, Ethan Coen, the acclaimed director of this engaging detective comedy, also joined them, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the film.
In the months leading up to her appearance at Cannes, Aubrey has largely maintained a low profile, understandably processing the grief from Jeff’s tragic passing. However, she made a notable exception for the 50th anniversary special of Saturday Night Live in February, where she graced the stage to introduce the talented Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard as they performed the iconic song “Nothing Compares 2 U,” originally by Sinéad O’Connor. This appearance showcased her enduring ability to connect with audiences even during challenging times.
