And only now it has been revealed who it was. It’s legendary actress Jean Smart, the star of iconic TV series and an Emmy winner, whom many are used to seeing very differently.
The 74-year-old actress was spotted in the Toluca Lake area of Los Angeles wearing a rather bold outfit. She chose a lime green jacket, left open with no top underneath — a choice that led to an awkward moment quickly noticed by photographers.
She paired the look with dark green trousers, a black crossbody bag, and beige slip-on sneakers. Her blonde hair was pulled back with a pink clip, and her makeup remained light and natural.
In her hands, she carried a mug from The Kelly Clarkson Show — she had recently appeared there to promote the new season of the hit series “Hacks,” one of her biggest recent projects.
Later that day, she was seen with her 36-year-old son as they enjoyed lunch together at Sweet Salt Cafe. At that point, she had added a blue button-down shirt, making her look more reserved.
Meanwhile, fans are actively discussing the fifth season of “Hacks,” which has been confirmed as the final one. The premiere is set for April, with new episodes releasing weekly until the finale at the end of May.
Additionally, the actress was recently seen at a New York gala with her new partner, actor Joe Pacheco. The two looked happy and comfortable together, openly showing their affection.
After losing her husband in 2021, she had rarely been seen publicly with anyone. But now, it seems a new chapter has begun in her life — and fans are closely watching her every move.
