SAVED by the Bell alum Tiffani Thiessen looked younger than her years after hitting the beach in Los Angeles on Labor Day.
Tiffani, 50, who played Kelly Kapowski on the early 90s sitcom, was spotted publicly for the first time since the tragic death of her former Beverly Hills, 90210 “co-star,” Shannen Doherty.
Tiffani was spotted soaking up the last few days of summer earlier this week.
The star looked ageless in a plunging black one-piece swimsuit and faded denim shorts.
She accessorized her casual fit with black shades, flip-flops, and a matching smartwatch as she strolled down the beach.
Tiffani’s brunette locks were tied up in a loose ponytail and covered by a trendy trucker hat.
Later in the day, the star was seen donning a loose, long-sleeved black sweatshirt, which she paired with a checkered black-and-white crossbody bag.
The actress spent the last of her Labor Day weekend enjoying some family time.
She was accompanied by her husband, Brady Smith, the duo’s two children, daughter Harper and son Holt, and some family friends.
Brady, 52, is also an actor, best known for appearing on several TV shows, including ER, Charmed, The Mentalist, White Collar, Criminal Minds, and Alexa & Katie.
He also recently published a children’s book, Maxwell Dark: Nightmare Hunter, which Tiffani promoted on her Instagram.
The mom-of-two seemed at ease as she stood alongside a beach wagon, filled to the brim with snacks, water toys, and other beach essentials.
She was later seen leaving the beach carrying two boogie boards and a checkered yellow beach chair after enjoying some fun in the sun.
The outing comes just days after Tiffani shared some sweet back-to-school snaps of Harper, 14, and Holt, 9, on Facebook.
“High school, here she comes! Harper, you got this!” Tiffani wrote, alongside the hashtag #9thgrade.
“3rd grade, here he comes!!! Let’s go Holt!” she posted, adding the hashtag #messyhairdontcare.

Tiffani’s Labor Day family time was especially significant given that it was the first time the star was seen in public following the tragic death of her 90210 co-star, Shannen Doherty.
Shannen died on July 13 after a nine-year battle with breast cancer.
Tiffani notably joined Beverly Hills, 90210 following Shannen’s infamous firing in 1994.
Her character, Valerie Malone, served as a “replacement” for Shannen’s character, Brenda Walsh.
While Tiffani hasn’t publicly shared any statements about Shannen’s death, she did discuss her former time on Beverly Hills, 90210 during an interview earlier this year.
She admitted that she was “nervous” about joining the cast, and “didn’t really know what to expect,” as reported by Us Weekly.
“I was coming on to a show that was already established,” she told the magazine.
“Now, granted, I came from a show that I had that was very established as well,” she added.
“But it’s like joining a friend group that has been friends for a long time and you’re the new one.”
Before joining Beverly Hills, 90210, Tiffani starred in the teen sitcom, Saved by the Bell, as Kelly Kapowski.
Since then, Tiffani has continued to act in Hollywood, with regular roles in the 2007 miniseries Pandemic and the police procedural drama series White Collar.
However, in recent years, her focus has shifted towards spending more time with her family alongside another exciting venture: cooking.
She’s appeared on Food Network Star, Deliciousness, and even hosted her own cooking show, Dinner at Tiffani’s, from 2015 to 2017.
Tiffani has also written several cookbooks, including Pull Up a Chair: Recipes from My Family to Yours, and Here We Go Again: Recipes and Inspiration to Level Up Leftovers.
The budding chef also regularly posts cooking content on her social media channels, including a recent Instagram video showcasing her “easy bake sour cream donuts.”
