Aubrey Plaza Makes 1st Appearance Since Husband's Death on 'SNL50'

Aubrey Plaza surprised fans on "SNL50" Sunday night, making an unannounced first public appearance since her husband took his own life.

Plaza, 40, appeared briefly to introduce Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard, who were on hand to perform a cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U."

Plaza looked somber, but was upbeat. What she chose to wear — a tie-dyed shirt under a blazer — may have been a tribute to her husband, Us Weekly reports.

“We got married on a whim. Literally decided around 5 p.m. [and] got married at 8:30,” she said on a 2021 visit to "The Drew Barrymore Show." "Jeff got really into tie-dying during the quarantine, so I decided that Jeff and I were going to wear tie-dye pajamas that he had made for us.”

Her husband and creative partner Jeff Baena died by suicide on January 3 at 47.

Days later, Aubrey said in a statement, “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”

She decided against presenting at the Golden Globes, where Jeff was mentioned in “The Brutalist” director Brady Corbet’s acceptance speech after he won Best Director at the star-studded ceremony.

Brady wrapped his winning speech by saying, “Tonight my heart is with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family.”

Plaza and Baena had been a couple since 2011, but she kept their relationship out of the public eye.

She revealed they were husband and wife in a 2021 Instagram post about their film “Spin Me Round,” writing, “So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena for dreaming up another film that takes us to italia to cause some more trouble 😈 excited to be reunited with the amazing @alisonbrie (who also co-wrote this one!) and @theofficialsuperstar@sordociego@lauren_weedman and so many more fun people in this. Preparati!! 🇮🇹 ❤️.”
