After attending the Fox Upfronts in New York City on Monday night, Lea Michele hit the town, and despite the fact that it was a very emotional day for the 28-year-old actress, she looked confident and at peace. As you may know, yesterday would have been the 33rd birthday of Lea's ex-boyfriend Cory Monteith, who died of a drug overdose in June of 2013.

Earlier in the day Lea posted a photo of her late ex playing the drums and wrote, "I know you're serenading everyone right now," and last year she uploaded a picture of the two of them and wrote, "The biggest heart and most beautiful smile.. In all of our hearts.. We love you so. Happy Birthday." Though Lea has been dating beau Matthew Paetz for about a year now, she definitely still holds a special place in her heart for Cory.

It was announced last year that Glee was dunzo, but we'll be seeing Lea back on the small screen in the new Ryan Murphy series, Scream Queens. Can't wait for that!
