Susan Lucci looks sensational! The All My Children star was simply glowing during her recent night out in New York City – and fans certainly agree.
The actress enjoyed a special night out at Rao’s in Harlem, a notoriously hard-to-get-a-reservation restaurant, and was smiling from ear to ear in new pictures posted on Instagram.
The 79-year-old looked stylish dressed in a floral off-the-shoulder mini dress featuring a floaty skirt and a cinched-in waist, which she teamed with a bright yellow bag and chunky gold jewelry.
The star wore her brunette hair down in a bouncy blowdry and opted for a smokey eye and bright red lips for her makeup look.
Susan shared several photos from the evening on social media, alongside the caption: “A very special evening with very special friends at the iconic, storied RAO’s—an Italian feast!!!”

Your smile is always your best accessory! Happy for you. Thanks for sharing!” A third added: “I can just imagine how delicious there food is. You look stunning as usual.”
Susan has had a difficult few years, having suffered unimaginable grief back in 2022 when her husband Helmut Huber passed away aged 84, after 52 years of marriage.
The actress opened up about her grief – and how she put it into writing – during an interview with HELLO! in February at the 92NY, which marked the release of her second autobiography, La Lucci.
Susan and the Austrian-born chef married in 1969, welcoming two children together, Liza and Andreas. “When I lost my husband, I felt lost. Completely. I felt like half a person” she shared.
“I felt like I didn’t even know what I’d do.” Just two months later, though, she’d had a performance scheduled that she decided to go ahead with. “I kept that, [because] it was comedy, I knew I would be laughing, that would be good for me,” Susan noted. “And that was one of the first steps I took.”
“I was trying to find me again in all of this. And being on that stage and doing that, working with people I had worked with and who I loved, that helped me put one foot in front of the other, helped me stand up.”

“So that’s where I began,” she continued, explaining that she even tackled some of the “spooky” bits of the home, a 1920s Long Island estate, an update as well, given the house itself will be 100 years old soon. “Now they’re not spooky, now they’re really good,” she joked.
Spending time with her family and friends has also been a huge tonic for Susan, who lives in Garden City, Long Island.
