Zelda Williams couldn't help but glow this weekend.

The 25-year-old actress hit her first red carpet since the death of her father, Robin Williams, last August—and it was a joy to see her smile.

Williams attended the grand opening of the Melrose Place location of the celeb-favorite Nine Zero One Salon on Sunday, her fellow guests including Vanessa Lachey (in her first big outing since birthing baby No. 2), Nina Dobrev, Julianne Hough, Ashley Tisdale, Emma Roberts and Jennifer Morrison.

Getting into the party spirit, Zelda—who dared to go rather bare in a plunging dress—shared a primping pic (the lovely ladies in attendance of course were treated to a sampling of the salon's services) with the caption, "Photographic evidence that I got my hair done for the first time in 5 months. Much improved, haha. 

"Let's not even start on the makeup, don't think I've done that in years... Thanks @ninezeroone! (and Nina, for sassypants photo and pose direction... haha)."

"This girl. @zeldawilliams," Dobrev captioned a photo collage of her and Zelda, the Vampire Diaries star sharing before-and-after shots of herself pre- and post-primp.

"Can't believe I've known this gorgeous girl 10 years," added Emma Roberts, sharing a selfie with longtime pal Zelda.

A day of getting glam, surrounded by dear friends? Sounds like an ideal return to the spotlight to us.

Can't believe I've known this gorgeous girl 10 years ???? @zeldawilliams
