This marks the 54-year-old Anchorman actress's first appearance since she was discharged from the hospital in August. The Married with Children legend, who has been living with multiple sclerosis since 2021, had reportedly been in the hospital for treatment since March.
In the footage of Applegate's Sept. 21 Instagram post, she seemed upbeat and glowing. In the brief, silent clip, Applegate stares down the camera, a knowing grin on her face. Her clearly fresh hairdo sported straight, nearly platinum blonde locks that cascaded just past her shoulders.
The Bad Moms star then gave her hair a little twirl via a head nod, letting her grin spread into a full-on smile.
In the caption to the post, Applegate jokingly gave a small imperfection on her right cheek a bit of a hat tip...
"Fresh hair color, new weird spot on my cheek haha," she wrote. Applegate also thanks celebrity hairstylist David Stanwell for the fresh look. "Thank you @davestanwell for brightening up my cloudy day. Love you and love to you all out there."
Of course, fans rushed to the comments to show their love for Applegate following her hospital stay.
"You're looking as beautiful as ever," one top comment read. "You look exactly the same as when you were on Married With Children. Amazing!" another fan marveled.
However, at least one fan couldn't help but be a little jealous over the post-hospital glow-up. "I wish I could get an 'LA haircut' lol. Maybe someday," they wrote.
Meanwhile, plenty of high-profile pals also gushed over Applegate's rare social media outing.
"Beautiful as ever," The Real Housewives of Orange County personality Tamra Judge wrote. "Beautiful!" Real Housewives personality and Halloween actress Kyle Richards echoed. "Babe you are the funniest and the hottest. Always have been our royalty," Las Vegas actress Vanessa Marcil added.
Applegate hasn't revealed the exact reason for her lengthy hospital stay. However, last week, she acknowledged that she was happily home. The Hall Pass actress posted a photo of a banner reading "Yay! You're home. "Happy Day, Ho" hanging in (presumably) the mom of one's home.
"Meant to post this a while ago. My kid is so my kid hahah," she joked, referring to her daughter, 15-year-old Sadie Grace LeNoble Applegate.
