Different people deal completely differently with the loss of a loved one, and when it comes to a parent, the situation is particularly complicated. Which is why everyone was wondering how Zelda Williams was going to act when it was revealed that she’s planning to make her first red carpet appearance since her father passed away recently – but after she showed up, it was clear that she was dealing with her loss in a very strong way.
Zelda Williams showed up with a black dress with a very low neckline, showing a good figure and a confident posture. She also had a golden orb choker, and was even making jokes about her overall polished look on her Instagram account.
Her post said that the pictures were “photographic evidence that she got her hair done for the first time in 5 months”, as a comment on a photo where she was surrounded by a team of beauty experts. She also added that she hadn’t tried using any makeup in years, and she was happy with the results from that as well. Overall, she seemed to have a good time at the event, exchanging pleasantries with various other celebrities, and spending a good deal of time posing for pictures with them.
Since Robin Williams passed on August 11, his daughter Zelda has made only two public appearances excluding tonight’s party. Once, she showed up at Game 5 of the World Series in October, along with her brothers Zak and Cody, as the three of them tossed the famous first pitch together with Billy Crystal. Then, she made another appearance in November, when she attended a Nintendo party at Bootsy Bellows in Hollywood, though that last event didn’t get that much media coverage.
Zelda has also gotten a tattoo in memory of her father, and she even showed it off during the event this weekend. The tattoo is a hummingbird, which many have described as very fitting for Zelda’s father, and she has been getting some positive feedback for the tattoo as an “endearing” move overall. A tattoo is one of the more common ways to commemorate someone’s passing, although it’s often a very risky option as it has to be executed in an appropriate way.
She specifically shared the tattoo on her Instagram account, thanking the tattoo artist for making it a reality in such a professional manner as well, and stated that she’ll always extend her arm for a handshake with a smile now, having that beautiful tattoo on her hand. And indeed, in situations like this, it’s always a great thing to have something to remind one of what they’ve lost.
