Going makeup-free for the stroll in the sun, the media personality's trademark red hair was blown back in stark contrast to the fringe she's recently been wearing.
Something of a queen when it comes to self-promotion, Kathy Griffin helped those out who might have struggled to place her by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with her own name.
An over the shoulder bag bisected her world tour slogan tee and she finished her look with jogging bottoms and sneakers.
The low-key outing was very different to the facelift reveal video she put out on Instagram last week from her stunning home.
On that occasion, she dressed in a more glamorous style and told her fans that she was wearing a lot of makeup.
The cosmetic procedure reveal came some 27 years after her first facelift.
Kathy explained, "The reason I'm telling you, is when I got my first facelift in 1998... believe it not, at the time, it was not common for a public person to go public about it.
"And I thought it was weird that so many people were lying about having face work done or just skirting the issue.
"I thought, now I've opened the floodgates, and people are going to start talking about getting work done, maybe have a few laughs about it. But as usual, the cheese stood alone."
In the conversational clip, Kathy insisted she would not be shamed for having the work done, nor would she share how much it cost her.

The star later told how she would also not be forced into sharing if she's on any weight loss medication like Ozempic, adding, "it could be yes, it could be no."
Wanting to share the surgery news on her own terms in a bid to reduce stigma, she said she found it "ageist and misogynistic" when men asked about her procedures in interviews.
She then revealed additional work she's had done as a "neck pull and an upper eye job".
Kathy's been in the limelight for three decades, landing her big break in 1996 in the NBC sitcom, Suddenly Susan.
She has received two Emmys and a GRAMMY and broken a Guinness World record for the number of aired TV comedy specials on any network.
The comedian, who is worth an estimated $40m, has also starred in her own reality television series, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.
Other noteworthy appearances include roles in Glee, Ugly Betty, American Dad!, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
She faced a fierce backlash in 2017 after she posed with a fake severed Donald Trump head.
Kathy initially apologized, stating she'd "crossed the line". However, six months later, she backtracked saying she "takes back 1,000%" her apology.
In August 2021 she was diagnosed with lung cancer and had part of her lung removed.
Four months later, she revealed the surgery had been a success and she was cancer-free.
