Jada Pinkett Smith has made her first public appearance since her husband Will Smith was banned from the Oscars for slapping Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards.
The actress joined friends Shonda Rhimes and Debbie Allen in Los Angeles on Saturday to celebrate the grand opening of the Rhimes Performing Arts Center, which will serve as the home for the new Debbie Allen Dance Academy.
Inside the new 24,000-square ft. space is a studio named after the Smiths, according to Broadway World.
In addition to posing with Rhimes, 52, and Allen, 72, Pinkett Smith, 50, also took photos with Samuel L. Jackson and his wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson.

"The joke was funny. It wasn't hilarious funny, but I know that if he knew that she had alopecia ... he wouldn't make a joke about that," said Kenny, 42. "But he didn't know."
