Hilary Duff isn't going the sweatpants and Ben and Jerry's breakup route—she's all glammed up and hitting the town!

The 26-year-old singer-actress was beaming Thursday night at the Delta Air Lines 2014 Grammy Weekend Reception party in West Hollywood, Calif., smiling from ear to ear in her first red (actually blue) carpet appearance since separating from hubby Mike Comrie.

Hilary flaunted her toned legs in a short patterned dress and black pumps, throwing a blazer on and carrying an oversized clutch to complete her chic look. The former Lizzie McGuire star was not, however, wearing her wedding ring.

And although Hilary and her husband of three years are calling it quits on their three-year marriage, their split truly appears to be an amicable one. Just two days after announcing their breakup Jan. 10, the Hilary and Mike, 33, were seen out in Beverly Hills with their 18-month-old son Luca.

A source close to the couple told E! News split wasn't because of any particular incident. The duo rather drifted apart over time, despite trying couple's therapy to mend their relationship.

Fortunately, though, it looks like the Duffster is handling single life just fine so far!

Inside the bash, Duff was all smiles while chatting and laughing with a male pal (nothing romantic here folks!) before Lorde performed for guests.
