Sarah Jessica Parker has shocked fans by reportedly having her trademark mole removed from her chin.

The Sex and the City star showed up at an all-star baseball game in New York seemingly without her famous mole on Tuesday

Sources say the actress had the skin growth surgically removed but has kept the operation quiet.

A slight blemish was apparent on Sarah's face at the baseball game, but it isn't clear if she has had the mark removed or covered it up with make-up.

She appeared on the baseball pitch at the Yankee stadium with Sheryl Crow and baseball commissioner Bud Selig to ask the audience for donations to raise money for cancer research.

Sarah's mole has also previously come under attack from critics.

New York Observer writer Rex Reed said in his review of the recent 'Sex and the City: The Movie': "That growth on her face just gets bigger with every close-up, and in the full-length movie version of 'Sex and the City' it's so distracting you can't concentrate on anything else. It's not a beauty mark."

Sarah has previously vowed to never have cosmetic surgery, saying: "I believe in ageing gracefully, and of course, buying as many anti-ageing creams as possible."

Other stars to have beauty spots and blemishes removed include Enrique Iglesias who had a facial mole removed in 2003. Earlier this year, Scottish actor Ewan McGregor revealed he had several moles removed after a skin cancer scare.
