She dropped by the set of Good Morning America to chat about her 22-year marriage to Michael Douglas earlier in the day.
And Catherine Zeta-Jones was spotted later on Wednesday in New York City while wearing the same striking blue dress that she wore for her television appearance.
The 53-year-old actress showed off her age-defying figure in the elegant look as she walked back to her apartment in the Big Apple.
Catherine showcased her long, toned legs in the royal blue dress, which reached down to her knees.

The sleek outfit included striking ruffles over her midriff and it featured short sleeves, which were covered up by her gray double-breasted overcoat with peaked lapels.
She elevated her 5ft7in stature with a set of classic black pumps, and she wore her brunette locks parted down the middle, with her hair draped in thick waves over her shoulders.
The Traffic actress completed her elegant ensemble with a set of chunky black sunglasses and a quilted black clutch.
Earlier in the day, she spoke to GMA about how she never expected that her marriage to Michael Douglas could have been so enduring.

Host Robin Roberts got the ball rolling when she asked Catherine whether she or her 78-year-old husband was the better gift giver.
In a response that sent Roberts and her fellow GMA hosts, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos, into hysterics, she admitted it was Michael, joking she had peaked relatively early.
‘I think it has to be Michael. I peaked… around year eight,’ she quipped. ‘I did, if I had know I’d be married so long I would have held back on it. I wasn’t envisioning a 22-yearer. This is Hollywood, man.’
Zeta-Jones, who was there to promote her new Disney+ show National Treasure: Edge of History, went on to reveal the gift she had peaked with.
‘I bought him a hot rod… a 1930s coupe — Michael I’m going to get it wrong I’m sorry — it looks like a Bugsy Malone car, it’s really great and then I peaked. It’s been socks ever since,’ she said.
The Welsh actress added Douglas was good at giving jewelry, which was ‘something that I did really love and treasure and its sentimental value obviously’.

In a recent interview with the UK’s The Telegraph, Zeta-Jones, who briefly separated from Douglas in 2013 before reconciling, said it was ‘impossible for there not to be ups and downs if you live with the same person and wake up with them every day.’
‘I’ve been waking up to Mike for nearly 25 years. I love being married but it’s a crazy thing when you really think about it,’ she said.
Earlier this week Zeta-Jones gushed that her family life with Douglas and their two children keeps on getting ‘better and better’ every year.
She told People at the National Treasure: Edge of History premiere in Hollywood on Monday night it was ‘just the best’ being able to spend time with her family.
Accompanied by her son, Dylan, Zeta-Jones said: ‘I enjoy every minute with this guy. Well, he’s a good son. It’s just the best.
‘I mean, each year gets better and better and with such good friends, I think, in our family, which is great.’
She said she bought her 78-year-old husband ‘a 1930s coupe — Michael I’m going to get it wrong I’m sorry — it looks like a Bugsy Malone car, it’s really great and then I peaked. It’s been socks ever since’; seen in January 2020
Highs and lows: In a recent interview with the UK’s The Telegraph , Zeta-Jones, who briefly separated from Douglas in 2013 before reconciling, said it was ‘impossible for there not to be ups and downs if you live with the same person and wake up with them every day.’
Family: ‘I enjoy every minute with this guy,’ she said of Michael to People on Monday. The couple share two children, son Dylan and daughter Carys (pictured)
She also told People her family would be spending the holidays together.
‘To have our little nucleus back together is always the best,’ the 53-year-old said.
The couple, who shared the same birthday but 25 years apart, became engaged in 1999 when he proposed during a New Year’s Eve trip in Aspen and welcomed their first child, Dylan, together the next year before marrying three months later.
In 2003, they welcomed a baby girl, Carys.
But it’s not always been smooth sailing for the Hollywood power couple with Douglas being diagnosed with cancer and the brief separation.

Speaking about the couple’s 2013 separation, Douglas told The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2015: ‘It can’t be a one-way street.
‘But I’m crazy about her. And yeah, I think every couple has their difficult times. The only problem is, as you well know, we’re all in the public eye, and it tends to get a little more exposed than most.
‘But we’re back stronger than ever.’
Douglas also has another son, Cameron, from a previous marriage.
