Hayden Panettiere is looking and feeling better than ever!
The actress stunned on the red carpet for the 2016 Critics' Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, where she opened up about all of the love she's received since entering treatment for postpartum depression.
Rocking a plunging pale pink gown, which showed off her impressive post-baby bod, with her short blonde tresses styled in tousled waves, the actress dished on her experience battling postpartum in the spotlight.
"I've gotten an incredible amount of support and I was actually really surprised 'cause I feel like I grew up in this industry that, in my mind, was very judgmental," she told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet.
"I didn't even look at social media," she added. "Then, when I looked, people were like, 'Oh my gosh, good for you,' and I am so proud to be a spokesperson and a woman that people can look to and to know that they're not alone and they're not weak if they go and they seek help."
The 26-year-old "Nashville" star welcomed her daughter Kaya Evdokia Klitschko in December 2014 with husband Wladimir Klitschko. Shortly after giving birth, Penettiere took some time off from the hit series to seek help.
"To be honest it was kind of a rocky start for me and especially emotionally," Panettiere said of getting back to work on "Nashville." "The first scene that I did the other day when I saw certain people that I haven't seen in a while and I felt really comfortable -- I just lost it and I couldn't keep it together. So, it held us up for a second but we got it at the end."
