Jada Pinkett Smith stunned at her first appearance since the Oscars on Saturday (April 9), sporting a show-stealing strapless, glittering gold gown at the opening of the Shonda Rhimes Performing Arts Center and the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.

It was her first time out since a post-Oscars party, after husband Will Smith strode up onstage to slap festivities host Chris Rock for a barb aimed at Smith’s wife.
