LIVE! with Kelly & Mark star Kelly Ripa spent some of her time during her break from the morning show walking through New York City.

The TV host's spaghetti-strapped sundress was floral-printed, embodying the essence of the summer season.

With Kelly's outfit being sleeveless, her shredded arms were fully exhibited.

Additionally, one of the ABC personality's muscular legs was seeable due to her holding up the side of her dress so it wouldn't drag on the concrete.

Kelly's relaxed outfit was paired with white sneakers.

Dark sunglasses covered her eyes, and around her body was a black crossbody purse.

Filling in for the All My Children alum on Live! while she had a fun day out on the town was CNN host Anderson Cooper, 56.

Anderson was 52-year-old Mark Consuelos', Kelly's current daily co-host and husband, co-host for Thursday morning.

He and Mark did not reveal why Kelly was absent or when she would return to the show.

Anderson is a good friend of the married couple.

MISSING IN ACTION

Earlier this week, it was teased that Kelly might’ve been heading off on a trip.

She took to Instagram to share a smiling snapshot with her stylist, Ryan Trygstad, to debut her freshly dyed hair.

"Divine timing for a fresh coat of paint," Kelly captioned her snap.

But her caption was more than just her saying she chose the perfect moment for her new hair.

Her clever play on words was actually in reference to daughter Lola Consuelos', 22, new single, Divine Timing.

Stylist Ryan also shared the photo to his Instagram feed, and he teased in the caption: “A bit more blonde for @kellyripa before vacation!”

Kelly's absence from her morning show comes shortly after she'd taken another break from the program.

Kelly was out last Thursday and Friday, and Maria Menounos filled in as a guest co-host for both days.

Last week's absence occurred just days after the host joked that if she won the lottery she would leave the talk show.

Maria, 45, who just welcomed her first child, seemed super excited to be a fill-in host, as she waved to the audience and had a big smile on her face.
