Brave face: Malin Akerman powers through The Final Girls panel at New York Comic Con despite suffering from food poisoning
'Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Doing NY comic con with food poisoning sucks!' she wrote on Instagram, beneath a photo of her meagre meal.
Despite her plight the actress looked smashing in not one but two outfits on the day, the decision to switch being hopefully a unforced one.
First the Swedish stunner rocked a pair of faded black skinny jeans and black ankle boots, with a bold red leather top.

'I get to play this one-dimensional character in a really bad horror movie, and then I get to sort of realize my mortality and become three dimensional again,' she explained on Thursday. 'You don’t really ever know if she knows that Taissa is her daughter or not, but at least they get to say goodbye.'
'I love the mother-daughter relationship that grounds this whole thing,' she continued. 'And I think it’s so smart the way it’s set in this really bad 80’s horror film. It’s just a great marriage of different genres, and fun and sad and scary.'
The Final Girls hits select US theatres on Friday, and is available in the UK on DVD from Monday
