Kelly Ripa was showing off plenty of flesh on Sunday evening when she got gussied up for Hollywood’s biggest night of the year.

The 52-year-old talk show host from New Jersey wore a stunning black gown that highlighted her very toned and tanned backside.

The knockout dress went to the floor and also showed off her tiny waistline as well as her slender hips.

The New York resident was seen on the champagne colored carpet at the 95th annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.

And the former soap opera actress was with her husband Mark Consuelos who looked dapper in a tuxedo.

Ripa and her spouse were in Los Angeles because their Monday show was shot at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood where the Oscars took place.

Last week she and Ryan Seacrest shot a promo for the show.

The 48-year-old American Idol host also got sentimental about his upcoming departure while chatting about his future with E! News on Thursday.

While giving the rundown on what he would miss after leaving the show — which he announced last month — Seacrest said, ‘I’ll miss being next to Kelly every single day.

‘We’re extremely close, we’re very good friends, we’ll remain good friends,’ he said. ‘But there’s that hour of communicating with somebody. You become super excited about doing it. You laugh, and then, of course, you can’t remember what you said to each other. So I’ll miss that part.’

The longtime television host hasn’t announced a departure date, but he is expected to finish up his run on the show in the spring of this year.

Seacrest will also have to start hosting American Idol in the middle of April, which might make it ideal for him to already be in Los Angeles by then.

‘I’m gonna be back in California a lot, I lived there for so many years,’ he added. ‘My life is there.’

He also made it clear that he wasn’t just going to miss his hosting partner, but also the group of people who helped keep Live With Kelly And Ryan afloat.

‘I’ll miss this team of people,’ he said. ‘We’ve gotten to know each other and become very, very close. It’s a unique environment here, where many people have been here a long time. They’ve raised their kids while being on this show.’

Seacrest also made it clear that he would make occasional appearances on the show, adding that the producers said they were ‘gonna have me back to fill in every now and then.’

The showman also sounded excited for his backstage show at Sunday’s Academy Awards, which he and Kelly will be hosting together.

The two TV fixtures will get a chance to interview the Oscar winners when they’re at their most emotional.

‘We’ll both be backstage,’ he began to explain. ‘So, if you watch a winner on the main show, they will then turn the corner and you’ll see them disappear — as soon as they disappear, they’re with us. We’ll get that energy and emotion from the winners as they still probably haven’t processed it all.’

Seacrest took the opportunity to share some of his favorites among the current crop of Oscar nominees.

He said he ‘really liked Tár,’ admitting, ‘I didn’t know much about that world, so I thought that was very interesting and a strong movie.’

‘I thought the performance that Brendan [Fraser] gave in The Whale was incredible,’ he continued.

‘And then — I always think I’m gonna get the title wrong, but Everything Everywhere All At Once. I thought that was interesting.’

Saying goodbye: Seacrest, 48, shared how much he'll miss his costar Ripa after he leaves Live With Kelly And Ryan while chatting with E! News on Thursday

The morning after the Oscars, Ryan and Kelly will be in Los Angeles for their live show, which will take place just hours after the stars end their parties around town. 

They will be conducting their show from the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars ceremony is held. 

‘They move out and we move in,’ Ripa told People. ‘We’re like the changing of the guards.’

The two have already filmed spoofs for popular or Oscar-nominated films, including one for Top Gun: Maverick and another for the Jurassic World series. 

In the latest video, a fake Tom Cruise puts the hosts through tough training ranging from calisthenics to underwater training to flight training.

‘Ryan is just so, so good at these skits,’ Ripa told People. ‘It just tickles me every time I watch him because he really commits and gives his all!’

She continued, ‘I’ve said it a thousand times: If Ryan wanted to take a 900 percent pay cut, he could have been one of the best actors.

‘He could have been receiving an Academy Award! But he chose the money and not the fame. And that’s… commendable!”

'Ryan is just so, so good at these skits,' Kelly told People after the duo recorded multiple videos. 'It just tickles me every time I watch him because he really commits and gives his all!'

‘We often have no idea who will be the live guests until maybe the next morning,’ Seacrest told the outlet. ‘Most of them are coming straight from the afterparty!’ 

‘Oh, they’ve clearly been up all night,’ Ripa said. ‘Nobody’s slept. We’re the only two that have been rested — and barely, at that, because we’ll be there in our production office after the Oscars, editing pieces with the team.’

Ripa added, ‘Usually, I’m soaking my feet in ice from the heels, watching that countdown clock in the corner going, “Five hours ’til air … four hours … three hours…”‘ 

And before she goes to sleep she has one last thought. ‘If I sleep sitting up, I won’t have to have my hair and makeup redone, so I could get an extra hour!’
