Lea Michele smiling after pal's baby shower bash

Lea Michele was smiling again on Saturday (03Aug13) as she was spotted leaving pal Jamie-Lynn Sigler's baby shower in Beverly Hills.

Weeks after the death of her boyfriend and Glee co-star Cory Monteith, the actress made a rare appearance at the party, where she joined fellow celebrities including JoAnna García Swisher and Lance Bass.

The outing was Michele's first public appearance since Monteith's heroin and alcohol overdose death in Vancouver, Canada on 13 July (13) and it came just two days after she returned to the set of Glee for the first time since the tragedy.
