Kelly Ripa was bare-faced and pared-down on Friday as she was photographed walking the streets of NYC. The "Live! With Kelly and Ryan" host may come dolled up to the nines on her talk show, but city outings from the 49-year-old don't always come with thigh-grazing mini dresses and those sky-high stilettos.

Kelly was snapped by The Daily Mail's paparazzi in an athleisurewear wardrobe that made a statement, with the mom of three also sporting soaking-wet hair.

Kelly was photographed looking sporty. The star kept comfortable in a simple pair of black sweatpants paired with a stark white sweater with "PHENOMENAL HUMAN" written across it in black lettering.

Kelly had gone for the casual look from head-to-toe, also rocking a white pair of Nike sneakers with a blue, orange, and green heel detail. The "All My Children" alum also carried a black shoulder bag and a bottle of water.

Kelly's trademark blonde locks had a straight-out-the-shower feel as they hung loose and wet around her shoulders, with Kelly also rocking shades.

The star did take to her Instagram stories in the sweater – even twinning with a friend also wearing one.

Kelly managed to make some Super Bowl-related headlines despite not attending the football match and Halftime Show that dominated headlines earlier this month.

Shortly before Jennifer Lopez and Shakira shut Super Bowl 54 down with their booty-shaking moves, Kelly posted some of her own. The blonde jokingly stated that she was "[auditioning]" for Shakira's Halftime Show. The video posted to Instagram showed Kelly dancing in yoga pants and nailing her moves – personal trainer Anna Kaiser (who was present in the video) also happens to be 43-year-old Shakira's trainer.

Kelly is super-slim, super-muscly, and she appears to have the kinds of steely strength seen on Monica Geller in "Friends." The star opened up to The Cut in 2019, even revealing that she feels her body has near-superhuman qualities.

"I was talking to a cardiologist and he said to make sure your heart beats out of your chest every day. The more you exercise, the healthier it is. And I can be honest: My body looks like Peter Pan no matter what I do. I’ve never been a va-va-voom woman," Kelly said.

Kelly has a dancer background. She put it to good use in 2019 for a giant Instagram challenge attempting to get as many ballerinas en pointe at the same time as possible.

Kelly achieved the goal, winning herself a Guinness World Record as she and dancers from the New York City Ballet all put their pointe shoes on. Photos of Kelly standing en pointe were shared in the run-up to the challenge, with the star also seen on her tip-toes as she celebrated the achievement with co-star Ryan Seacrest.
