Nicole Eggert was seen in public for the first time since announcing her breast cancer diagnosis.
The Baywatch alum, 52, cut a casual figure in an olive green hoodie and ripped jeans as she headed to a Jersey Mike’s sub sandwich shop in Los Angeles on Monday.
The star carried a drink and a sandwich bag as he walked down the sidewalk in a pair of trendy Converse sneakers.
At one point, she traded in her glasses for a set of designer sunglasses, while rocking a chic crossbody bag for her understated ensemble.
The outing follows news that Nicole’s famous friends have pitched in to help her reach a $100,000 goal on GoFundMe, which will help cover rising medical costs.

Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Kyle Richards contributed $1,000, while RHONY alum Bethenny Frankel donated $500.
Mindy Molinary, a close friend of Nicole’s and the one behind GoFundMe for her cancer treatment, shared on the page that the actress is going through some financial challenges.
“It’s been a long time since Charles in Charge and Baywatch,” she wrote, referring to Nicole’s shows.
“As a single mother, she has struggled financially to raise her two daughters. She has another little one at home and is terrified that she won’t be able to afford the necessary treatments and surgeries while keeping a roof over their heads.”
Mindy added that Nicole “has lost both of her parents and has no family to lean on or help her with this situation.”
The actress, who made her first public appearance in 18 months in June last year, opened up about her health struggles during an interview with People published last week.
After gaining 25 pounds and experiencing left breast pain since October, the actress underwent a mammogram and three biopsies, which led to a diagnosis of stage 2 cribriform carcinoma of breast cancer.
“It really throbbed and hurt,” Nicole explained. ‘I went straight to my GP and she said I should have it looked at straight away.’

However, she added: ‘The problem was I just couldn’t get an appointment. Everything was booked. So I had to wait until the end of November before it was ready.’
Nicole admitted, “This has not been a lighthearted ride through life. I always read inspiring quotes and corny things, but I get through it.”
She went on to say that her next steps include surgery to remove the cancer, along with chemotherapy and radiation. She also said it was unclear whether the cancer has spread.
The mother of daughters Dilyn, 25, and Keegan, 12, confessed her biggest fear is not being there for her children in the future.
