Aubrey Plaza makes first red carpet appearance since husband's Jeff Baena's tragic death as she's 'comforted' by co-star in Cannes


Aubrey Plaza returned to the spotlight on Friday at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, making her first red carpet appearance since the death of her husband, Jeff Baena.

An LA County Medical Examiner's autopsy report obtained by DailyMail.com revealed that the filmmaker and actress had separated back in September of last year, and she had been living in New York at the time his body was discovered on January 3. Baena also regularly collaborated with the actress Alison Brie, who appeared in The Little Hours and starred in and co-wrote his final two films, the psychological drama Horse Girl (2020) and the dark comedy thriller Spin Me Round (2022). The actress made her first public appearance since Baena's death last month when she introduced musical guests Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard on Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special.
