She's been juggling six months performing on Broadway with caring for her two children.
So it was always going to be a struggle for Catherine Zeta-Jones to keep up her usual standards of style.
Nevertheless, wearing a fluorescent fuchsia pink dress was only ever going to draw attention to her pale complexion and slender frame.
Tired: Eight shows a week and caring for two children appears to be taking its toll on a wan-looking Catherine Zeta-Jones
It added to fears that the Oscar winner's demanding work and home life is taking its toll on her weight.
The 40-year-old was photographed yesterday leaving the Manhattan apartment where she lives with husband Michael Douglas and their children Dylan, nine and Carys, seven.
She has been performing eight shows a week of A Little Night Music in New York since previews opened in November, and still has seven weeks to go.

The actress has often struggled to control her weight. She said she 'ate for Wales' when pregnant with Dylan as she reached 13st.
But after being pictured looking thin in 2007 she was forced to deny reports she was anorexic.
In addition to her gruelling Broadway schedule, Miss Zeta-Jones has been supporting Douglas during his son Cameron's recent trial over drugs charges.
Cameron, 31, was sentenced to five years in prison despite the Douglas family writing to the judge begging for leniency.
In the past, Zeta-Jones has spoken out against ‘scary’ Hollywood women who bow to pressure to lose weight, particularly after having a baby.
She has said: ‘I think it’s awful, this competition between actresses who just had a baby to see who’s first to get back to their normal weight.
'It’s insane. I find this wave of super-skinny women scary.’
But after being pictured looking thin in 2007, she had to deny reports that she was anorexic.
She said her weight loss was a result of eating well.
She said at the time: ‘How could I ever, ever be anorexic?
'I’m just working out and not chomping down what I usually chomp down.’
