It has been reported in recent weeks that she has been worrying friends amid claims she's 'struggling to cope' with split from Ashton Kutcher.
But on Wednesday night, Demi Moore single-handedly dismissed the reports as she attended a charity gala.
The 49-year-old actress glowed as she posed up for photographs inside the Girls Educational and Mentoring Services Benefit Gala in New York City.
Demi also cut a much healthier figure than she has at previous red carpet events.
Despite having previously sparked concern with her scarily skinny figure, Demi appeared to have gained some weight, and showed off her new figure in a fitted patterned dress.
Earlier in the evening, Demi had chosen not to walk the red carpet into the event, instead opting to head inside via a side entrance.
However, once inside the event, Demi was happy to pose up for photographs, both alone and the charity director Rachel Lloyd.
Demi was there to help bring in cash for GEMS - which was founded in 1998 while currently being the largest service provider to commercially sexually exploited and domestically trafficked girls in the United States.
The event included the reading of excerpts from the memoir of Lloyd, read by stars including Jada Pinkett Smith, Natasha Lyonne, and India Arie.
It was claimed recently that Demi has been finding it difficult to cope with news of estranged husband Ashton's relationship with Mila Kunis.
Ashton, 34, has been stepping out regularly with Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive and often putting on public displays of affection.
After Ashton's indiscretions with a woman in San Diego on their sixth wedding anniversary in 2001 were exposed, Demi is said to be getting increasingly embarrassed by his antics.
A source told People magazine: ‘Her friends aren't convinced she's all better.’
