Is it permissible for a woman who has been irrevocably divorced and is observing her 'iddah to attend celebrations?

An ' observer (a woman in her waiting period) may go out during the day to attend to her needs, whether she is divorced or a widow, because nighttime is a cause for mischief, unlike the daytime. It is permissible for a woman observing 'iddah after an irrevocable divorce or due to widowhood to go out for a wedding, but she must not adorn herself and must not spend the night anywhere but in her home.
