HAYDEN Panettiere has made her first TV appearance since seeking treatment for post-natal depression.

The Nashville actress looked stunning in a full-length peach gown at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday, hitting the red carpet in the eye-popping Maria Lucia Hohan number with a grin from ear to ear.

Panettiere, who was nominated for best supporting actress in a drama series, admitted she was shocked by the positive feedback she’s received since going public with her illness.

“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.

Hayden Panettiere wows at the 21st Annual Critics' Choice Awards in California.

The 26-year-old star is engaged to Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko and the pair welcomed their first child, a daughter named Kaya, in December 2014.

Panettiere voluntarily entered a treatment facility in October to combat post-natal depression, which she had been battling “for a long time,” E News reported.

“It’s really painful and it’s really scary and women need a lot of support,” she said at the time.

Panettierre’s flawless appearance comes just days after announcing she would be returning to Nashville. She presented at the awards alongside co-star Jonathan Jackson, who was also nominated for his work on the hit ABC series.
