Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos looked as in love as ever when they hit the red carpet together on Wednesday for PaleyFest 2023 in New York City.

Kelly, 53, looked lovely in a vibrant red skirt and a contrasting top, while the 52-year-old Riverdale actor contrasted her with a more casual ensemble.

The lovebirds — who regularly show off their winning chemistry on national television — posed arm-in-arm for the cameras and showed off their infectious smiles.

The two were taking a break from co-hosting their daytime talk show Live With Kelly And Mark.

Kelly raised the temperature at the Paley Museum, which was recently named Best Museum and Best Place for Children’s Parties by Schneps Media, with her high-waisted scarlet skirt, which emphasized her trim figure and showed off a bit of her toned legs.

Looking good: Kelly, 53, looked lovely in a vibrant red skirt and a contrasting top, while the 52-year-old Riverdale actor contrasted her with a more casual ensemble

She tucked into it a white button-up blouse covered in tiny polka dots, and she left the top few buttons undone to show off a gold pendant dangling from her throat.

The longtime All My Children star wore her long blond hair in gorgeous thick Veronica Lake–style tresses that nearly covered up one eye.

She completed the elegant look with sparkling heels covered in glowing rhinestones.

Mark contrasted his wife with a darker, more relaxed outfit.

He had on a thin navy blue sweater that highlighted her muscular chest and bulging biceps underneath.

He matched his sweater with dark blue trousers, and he rounded out his PaleyFest look with dark brown loafers and a silver luxury wristwatch.

Kelly and Mark's show got a major revamp earlier this year when Mark took over the second half of the bill from American Idol host Ryan Seacrest. 

Seacrest gave up his spot after joining the show in 2017 so that he could replace the departing Pat Sajak as the host of Wheel Of Fortune.

Perfect fit: It was a natural move to replace him with Mark, as he and Kelly already had a sterling rapport thanks to their years of marriage, and he has been a regular guest host for years who could fill in in a pinch

It was a natural move to replace him with Mark, as he and Kelly already had a sterling rapport thanks to their years of marriage, and he has been a regular guest host for years who could fill in in a pinch.

The talk show hosts and anchors were originally scheduled to sit down at the television-focused festival for a conversation with ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir, but he had to drop out after traveling to Israel to cover its bombing of the Gaza Strip in response to surprise terrorist attacks by Hamas.

Instead, Albert Bianchini, a producer on Kelly's podcast, stepped in to conduct the conversation.

They offered a much-needed dose of star power, as PaleyFest was unable to get most actors to promote their current projects due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike against the AMPTP, the organization that represents major studios and streamers.

Talks between the union and the studios resumed on Wednesday, but the studios withdrew from upcoming negotiations after complaining about actors' requests for a share of streaming revenue.

They were also seeking an increase in base wages to keep up with inflation, which the studios balked at, according to Variety.

Although Kelly and Mark both have done extensive scripted acting work in the past, their talk show is not covered by the SAG-AFTRA contract governing other actors. 

It also wasn't disturbed by the recently wrapped WGA strike, as the show does not use credited writers.

Joining the talk show hosts were some of the creative figures they have worked with over the years.
