Kelly Ripa gave her face a breather from heavy TV make-up during a low key outing in New York.

The 45-year-old host looked fresh faced while out for the solo stroll in the Big Apple on Thursday.

She was dressed for comfort in jeans, a navy roll-neck jumper and white sneakers.

Kelly looked cozy in the long-sleeved, blue sweater, which featured a high collar and which she coupled with fitted, beige jeans.

She wore the skintight jeans - which highlighted her toned pins - cuffed at the ankles, finishing off the laid-back look with low-top sneakers.

She had headphones in her ears as she enjoyed her solo stroll, and showed off a shiny, dark blue polish on her fingernails.

Kelly's short, blonde tresses were worn in a center part, and styled straight, though with a bit of a windswept wave. 

She sported a pair of large, diamond earrings for the outing, and toted a brown, leather backpack strapped to her back.

The star was photographed without her husband Mark Consuelos or their three children Michael, Lola, or Joaquin.

Meanwhile, it's been a busy week for the mother-of-three.

Along with her usual early morning duties on LIVE! With Kelly and Michael, the star also made time to attend the CNN Heroes red carpet event on Tuesday. 

The event, which was hosted in New York by Anderson Cooper, honors everyday people making extraordinary contributions around the world.

It is set to air at 8pm on CNN Sunday, December 6.
