Sarah Michelle Gellar turned a Manhattan side street into her runway.
The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” actress was photographed on Feb. 16 wearing a lace bodice and white skirt paired under an oversized blazer in the same deep wine tone, which appeared to reveal a high-waisted burgundy bra underneath.
She completed the look with satin pumps and earrings that dropped diamonds and deep red stones. Her brown hair was loose as she smiled for the cameras as she walked down the street.
Gellar’s appearance comes as she promotes Netflix’s renewed live-action competition series “Star Search,” where she serves as a judge alongside Chrissy Teigen and Jelly Roll. Anthony Anderson hosts the show.

The updated version of the iconic talent competition runs as a five-week live event, with contestants performing in all categories including singing, dancing, comedy and variety acts. Viewers cast votes in real time, which helps determine which players are the best each week.
During a visit to “Live with Kelly and Mark,” Gellar talked about her role on the judging panel.

“Yes, I was a bad judge in the beginning, and it was kind of hard for me because I don’t think of myself as a bad judge, but Chrissy finally gave a lower score than me. So, I feel like now it’s a little bit better,” he said.

Gellar also revealed that she once auditioned for the original “Star Search” and didn’t make it.
“We both auditioned for Star Search and didn’t make it,” he said, referring to John Legend. “That’s why I’m back now to right the wrongs of the past.”

Unlike syndicated series that aired in the 1980s and 1990s, the Netflix revival includes live worldwide voting directly through the streaming platform. The games air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 pm ET, with audience participation playing a key role in determining the results.

“The best thing about this show is that it’s live all over the world,” said Gellar. “So, if you have a remote, you can vote. So, there’s no app to download, no phone number.”

He added that the competition has become a family affair.
“Hey, my kids aren’t the only ones watching, they’re there every week. They love it,” she said. “And they’re very vocal in their opinions about how they don’t agree with what I’m doing.” “I’ll look over here and see this face,” he remembers how his children react when they don’t agree with his points.

“Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, I took a lot of years. You know, I took a lot of years, and I think I feel like I’m starting to get my sea legs back now and I’m ready to work now that my kids are grown,” he said.
“I needed to rest. And I’m very happy that I did on so many levels. Like, first of all, I’ll never get that time back with my children. I didn’t miss a show, a performance, a first step, a missing tooth. Like, there was all the time I could be there, and that’s not something you can do as an active player,” he added.
Gellar will also appear in the upcoming horror sequel “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,” which hits theaters this spring. The film brings back Samara Weaving’s character for another high-profile chapter, with Gellar joining Kathryn Newton and Elijah Wood among the new additions to the franchise.
