Cynthia Erivo was back in New York on Wednesday after travelling 10,350 miles in three days amid the hectic press tour for Wicked: For Good.
The actress, 38, is busy promoting the movie but had to jet back to London to attend the GQ Men of The Year Awards on Tuesday night.
It came after on Monday she was in NYC for the Wicked premiere with Ariana Grande.
As she returned to New York on Wednesday she stepped out in a chic grey jacket and tie, while earlier in the evening she wore a stylish leather number.
At the GQ Awards the previous night Cynthia showed no signs of jet-lag, despite being in New York just 24 hours earlier.
In high spirits, the actress, who was a cover star for GQ, wrapped up warm in a silver fringed coat before heading inside.

And on Monday at the NYC premiere she wore a striking black leather dress with feather detailing.
Cynthia covered GQ recently amid press for Wicked where she plays Elphaba Thropp.
In the interview, she admitted her continued success and the joy it brings to those who have championed her career, particularly her supportive mother Edith, is underpinned by a personal sadness.
Estranged from her father, who she last saw when she was 16, the actress said he has not been present to witness her ascent following an unlikely dispute over a ticket in a London tube station.
Discussing their final exchange, Cynthia recalled to GQ: ”This will be the last time I ever see you,’ he said. Just like that.
‘I just didn’t see it coming. I guess you wouldn’t, would you?’
The actress subsequently lost all contact with her biological father and said she knows nothing about his life, vocation, relationships or religious leanings.
Nor does she have a contact number, but Cynthia admitted she’s reminded of him whenever she looks in a mirror or sees a picture of herself, because they share the same facial features – notably a distinctive gap between their two front teeth.
‘It’s a supreme joke,’ she told GQ. ‘It’s a joke from the universe to remind me how human I am.

‘I used to hear him all the time – he had a lovely voice. And so I think that’s where my voice comes from, which is so annoying and crazy, but… fine. It is what it is.
‘It’s what the universe does. This is the lemon. Make lemonade.’
And Cynthia believes her acceptance of the situation has insulated herself from any emotional repercussions and prevents her from seeking answers regarding his decision to walk away so abruptly.
‘I don’t think it serves me,’ she said. ‘It’s his why. It doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t mean that we’ll have a relationship. And I think I’ve found the closure I want, my own way.
‘Whatever needed to happen after that moment happened. And now we’re sitting here talking about me being Man of the Year.’
She added: ‘Everyone jokes that I let go of things really quickly. That I move past things really, really quickly.
‘I think I just choose to acknowledge that something has happened, or something is happening, and I’m not in denial that it’s happening.
‘It’s just that is life. Tomorrow is another day, and the day after that is another day, and life has not stopped today.
‘So if I drag this thing into the next day, month, how do I function? How do I then move forwards?
‘I think that is death. To be stuck.’
