The star’s recent appearance at a major event has sparked conversations, with many speculating about her state of mind since her husband passed away earlier this year. Some have pointed to her demeanor as a possible sign of how she’s coping with the loss.
Aubrey Plaza walked the red carpet for “Honey Don’t!” at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 23, 2025, held at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France.
Plaza stepped onto the red carpet wearing a sleeveless, floor-length gown with a see-through layer covered in colorful beads and shiny details. The dress had a deep neckline with a clear panel in the middle, giving it a bold design.
Her hair was parted to the side and styled in loose waves. To finish off the look, the actress wore long, sparkling earrings and kept her makeup soft with a light touch on the lips and eyes.
Plaza’s fashion choice turned heads, but it wasn’t just her gown that drew attention. As she moved through the crowd and posed for photos, many online watchers noticed something different in her expression.
One person wrote, “Aubrey looks stressed out…”. Another followed with a heartfelt note, “Praying for her, she deserves happiness & peace [sic].” A wave of similar comments continued to appear across social media.
Someone else added, “Hope [sic] she’s doing okay after such a horrible loss.” Another message read, “A really brave woman!” with a similar tone echoed in the words, “One strong lady.”
Many were quick to share concern and compassion. One person commented, “Awww I hope she is okay,” while another observed, “Eyes dont [sic] lie. She’s still grieving.” One simple but powerful question also appeared among the responses, “What happened to her?”
The online concern surrounding Plaza’s public appearance follows after a deeply personal tragedy that surfaced earlier this year. Her walk down the red carpet comes four months after her husband, Jeff Baena, died by suicide.
