Melissa Rycroft and her boyfriend Tye Strickland walked their first red carpet together at Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party Wednesday.
The first to arrive, they showed up holding hands at Hollywood hot spot My House.
The 26-year-old Rycroft -- who was honored for her glam new look since her split with
Bachelor Jason Mesnick -- admitted all the attention was overwhelming.
"I feel like I am a normal girl in L.A. now!" said the Dallas native, who was spotted practicing some moves with her
DWTS partner Tony Dovolani in their booth throughout the night. "It's weird. It's awesome. It's so surreal."
