Hotter after breakup?

Kaley Cuoco donned a super chic look at the Longines International Races Gala in Los Angeles on Thursday, marking her first major celebrity appearance since it was revealed last week she and husband Ryan Sweeting were divorcing after less than two years of marriage. The 29-year-old star of The Big Bang Theory filed divorce papers on Sept. 25.

At the gala, Cuoco looked hot as she walked a gray carpet in a black Giambattista Valli mini dress with draped sleeves, paired with matching strappy Tom Ford sandals and a black shoulder bag.

"I had a lovely time at the #longines gala last night!" the actress said on Instagram.

Cuoco has been keeping busy since her breakup. She spent the weekend with family and friends, competing in a horse-jumping event and attending the Bryan Bros. Foundation's 2015 Tennis Fest charity fundraiser.

Days before the divorce filing, Cuoco appeared on Andy Cohen's Bravo show Watch What Happens Live and walked a red carpet in a sparkling black halter dress with a plunging neckline.

On the show, she talked about how Sweeting felt about her working with her ex-boyfriend, The Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki.
