'I am a terrible celebrity': Meg Ryan goes for incognito NYC stroll in first sighting since looking unrecognizable at the Tony Awards
Much ado was made over Meg Ryan's 54-year-old face at the Tony Awards, and the romantic-comedy queen just resurfaced in Manhattan's Soho neighbourhood on Wednesday.
The three-time Golden Globe nominee went incognito in sunglasses, a straw bucket hat, olive T-shirt, black belted trousers, and unflattering footwear.
'I am a terrible celebrity,' Meg - born Margaret Hyra - admitted to Vanity Fair on Monday.

First sighting: Much ado was made over Meg Ryan's 54-year-old face at the Tony Awards, and the romantic-comedy queen just resurfaced in Manhattan's Soho neighbourhood on Wednesday
'If I started my career today, I wouldn't have a chance. It's a totally different experience. Social media has changed things. It's so vast and big. I couldn't handle the constant attention and the judging.'
On Sunday night, Ryan inadvertently became one of Facebook and Twitter's top-trending topics for her appearance while introducing the cast of She Loves Me - which was inspired by her 1998 rom-com You've Got Mail.
Users criticized her suspiciously smooth face and plump trout pout, likening the divorced mother-of-two to Batman's Joker and Cry-Baby's Ratchetface.
'Someone erased her delightful, wholesome, girl-next-door look and replaced it with a weird caricature,' plastic surgeon Dr. Lyle M. Back - who has not treated Meg - told Radar Online last year.

Signature Sally Hershberger shag: Meg - born Margaret Hyra - admitted to Vanity Fair on Monday, 'I am a terrible celebrity'
She confessed: 'If I started my career today, I wouldn't have a chance. It's a totally different experience. Social media has changed things. It's so vast and big. I couldn't handle the constant attention and the judging'
'It looks like she’s had multiple laser resurfacings, as well as way too much Botox and heavily pumped filler, especially in her overstuffed cheeks.
'Her lips also appear to have been overfilled, leaving her with a "Joker"-like smile. All the laser resurfacing on her face has created a weirdly smooth sheen.'
In a similar style to Oscar winner Renée Zellweger, the Fan Girl actress has scoffed at plastic surgery rumours.

'There are more important conversations than how women look and how they are ageing,' Meg told PORTER's Winter Escape Issue 12 back in December.
'There's a lot of hatred in the world today - it's so easy to judge. Imagine being a hater. How stupid!'
The NYU grad continued: 'I love my age. I love my life right now. I love what I know about. I love the person I've become, the one I've evolved into.'

Meg is mother to 10-year-old daughter Daisy as well as 24-year-old son Jack (with ex-husband Dennis Quaid), who played her son in her directorial debut, Ithaca.
'[Directing Jack] was like telling him, "Eat your dinner,"' the Web Therapy star joked.
'He's always worked really hard, so I felt like he was another actor on the set rather than my son.'

Ryan enlisted Oscar winner Tom Hanks to play her late husband and her ex-boyfriend Grammy winner John Mellencamp to score Ithaca.
The Connecticut-born blonde will screen her forties coming-of-age family drama at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 23-24.
'It was one of the hardest things I have done in my career,' Ryan said of being at the helm.
'Once you do it, you get the bug. I like the behind-the-scenes thing. I really do. Acting for a while was really fun and it still is, but directing is something even more.'
