  1. TLDR:

    * On Sunday, Feb. 16, the actress, 40, introduced musical guests [Miley Cyrus](https://people.com/tag/miley-cyrus/) and [Brittany Howard](https://people.com/music/brittany-howard-talks-naming-debut-solo-album-jaime-after-her-late-sister-theres-this-courage-i-learned-from-her/) during the star-studded special. Plaza was dressed in black dress pants and a black blazer with a tie-dye shirt underneath.
    * Though she kept her look fairly simple, unbeknownst to fans, the *Parks & Rec* alum’s tie-dye shirt was an homage to her late husband and filmmaker [Jeff Baena](https://people.com/movies/who-is-jeff-baena-aubrey-plaza-husband/), who died in January 2025, and their 2021 wedding.
    * During a December 2021 appearance on [*The Drew Barrymore Show*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqznzQmJPJs), Plaza revealed why the design was significant to their relationship. Instead of wearing a traditional dress and tux for their nuptials, she said that the duo decided to go a different direction. “Jeff got really into tie-dyeing during the quarantine,” she explained at the time. “So, I decided that Jeff and I were going to wear tie-dye pajamas that he had made for us.”

  2. Sending her love. My father killed himself when I was 3. I don’t think there’s a more painful way to lose someone. If there is, I hope I never find it.

  4. Not sure if they have kids but really sad he snuffed himself out. I’ve lost too many friends to suicide.

    If you ever feel like you have no choice but to end your life – please call the suicide hotline. It’s never as bad as it seems.
