Shirley MacLaine, who starred in Steel Magnolias with the late Dolly Parton, stepped out in Malibu on Friday.
The 92-year-old actress was seen for the first time since Parton died on Tuesday at age 80 following a brief battle with cancer.
MacLaine was comfortably dressed in heather-grey sweatpants, a black T-shirt, and black loafers.
She wore gold jewelry, including a dainty watch and rings on her manicured hands.
Her face appeared to be lightly made up, and her white-grey hair was cut into a wispy pixie.
In the wake of her death, MacLaine paid tribute to Parton with a simple statement shared with People: ‘God sent her to us, and she has returned home.’

Sally Field and Julia Roberts starred in Steel Magnolias as mother-daughter pair M’Lynn and Shelby Eatenton, and Parton played hairstylist Truvy Jones.
Rounding out the ensemble were MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, Tom Skerritt and Sam Shepard.
After Parton’s death was announced by her nephew Bryan Seaver on Tuesday, Field, 79, took to Instagram to share a photo of the cast from the late 80s movie set.
She wrote in the caption: ‘If there are truly angels on earth, then we have just lost one. Dolly Parton. There will never be another. I adored her with all my heart and will always cherish our time together. Forever. Rest in peace beautiful Dolly.’
Steel Magnolias follows a group of women in the south who lean on each other through life’s trials and tribulations.
Parton’s death was confirmed in a video posted by Seaver, who served as her head of security.
She passed away after being admitted on Friday to Nashville’s Vanderbilt University Medical Center with autoimmune and kidney problems, according to TMZ.
Four days before her death, the singer told People she had ‘so many things I want to achieve,’ including launching a new hotel and museum in Nashville, Tennessee.

‘This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,’ Seaver said in the clip.
He lauded his aunt for having ‘lived in the light’ and said she was now ‘in the arms of Jesus’ and the company of her late husband Carl Dean, as well as her parents and ‘countless others who have watched her and longed to meet her in the heavens.’
Parton enjoyed an illustrious music career that stretched six decades and was best known for her hits Jolene and 9 to 5.
Her death came after months of health issues that forced her to pull out of a string of public appearances.
