Paulina Gretzky has finally returned to Instagram (welcome back, girl!)
After a long(ish) absence from the photo sharing site (she hasn't posted a selfie since mid-June), the 25-year-old NHL heiress posted a snap on Thursday night, and although it wasn't one of her famous bikini pics, it was almost just as good.
The blond beauty shared a sphoto of herself partying with fiancé Dustin Johnson and her brother Ty Gretzky, who was celebrating his birthday at a nightclub.
Paulina captioned the pic, "Happy Belated Ty-Dye. Not many of us are lucky enough to find their best friend in their brother. But I am. Love you @tygretzky." Awww!
Naturally, the Golf Digest cover gal was sporting something sexy: a plunging maroon halter dress that was perfect for the dance floor.
Her Instagram silence has made us wonder, though: what has she been up to? Maybe the Maxim cover girl has been busy planning her upcoming wedding or maybe she's working on her forthcoming album.
Either way, we hope we get to see more of what she's up to!
Paulina has a big collection of club dresses:
Paulina Gretzky's Club Dresses
Lesson 1: Avoid A Wardrobe Malfunction(01 of140)
If your dress has a thigh-high slit, bend your knee so that the fabric doesn't ride up. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 2: Always Smile Even If You're About To Pop Out(02 of140)
Your dress can't contain your chest? Flash a mega-watt smile to distract people from noticing! (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 3: Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize(03 of140)
Have fun with your club dress! Try on a sporty headband to make the outfit more casual. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 4: Lace Is Your Friend(04 of140)
If you're afraid of revealing too much, throw on a lace club dress which is classy, not trashy. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 5: A Fabulous Pair Of Heels(05 of140)
Every club dress deserves an amazing pair of heels. Paulina accessorized her "Dynasty"-inspired dress with a pair of kick-ass stiletto booties. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 6: Your Car Should Complement Your Look(06 of140)
If you're going to wear red, your car should be black so you can stand out. The car shouldn't wear you. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 7: Girl, Cross Those Legs(07 of140)
Flashing your undies is a common hazard of the club dress, so avoid that potential embarrassment by keeping your legs crossed. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 8: Snuggle Up To A Cute Stranger(08 of140)
Get the most bang for your buck by showing off your cute look in front of a gorgeous guy or gal who will appreciate it. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 9: Add Some Razzle Dazzle(09 of140)
If you're not sure where to start, grab a dress that has a ton of sparkles. It will for sure get you noticed. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 10: Leave Something To The Imagination(10 of140)
If your dress features a revealing cut-out at the chest, balance it out with thick straps and a longer hem. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 11: Get Your Girlfriends To Wear Club Dresses, Too(11 of140)
If you don't want to feel left out, grab your nearest and dearest gal pals and have them play dress up with you. It's way more fun that way. (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 12: Bright Colour Can't Hurt(12 of140)
When choosing what colour to wear, it's usually best to opt for something bright; the better to attract handsome dance partners (and hopefully a kiss at the end of a hard night of partying). (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
Lesson 13: Long Sleeves Are Super Cute(13 of140)
Balance out a revealing body-con dress with long sleeves. (It's Dustin Johnson approved!) (credit:Paulina Gretzky/Instagram)
