Off duty! Kate Mara rocks a dressed down look as she strolls through West Hollywood with a bag of clothes

'Dress to impress' is a thought of the past when you've got places to go and things to do.

That was precisely the case for the lovely Kate Mara on Wednesday, as she was spotted walking with two black garment bags draped over her arm.

The 32-year-old actress strutted her stuff on the sidewalk in West Hollywood, but was barely recognizable under her hat and sunglasses.

Despite covering up her gorgeous facial features, the trucker hat and sunglasses combination perfectly suit her casual attire. 

Wearing tight black yoga pants with a comfortably fitted gray jumper, her shaded tones nicely contrasted with a long side satchel purse and cheetah slip on shoes.

Showing an appreciation for comfort, the House of Cards star still maintained a unique blend of fashion forwardness.

Having strong family ties to American football, the New York native easily pulled off a sporty and athletic look. 

Her great-grandfather founded the Pittsburgh Steelers and her grandfather is the co-owner of the New York Giants.

Staying loyal to both teams, Kate has sung the opening national anthem at each stadium and reportedly has a clause in her contract that states she is allowed to miss work if either team makes the Super Bowl.

Cast as one of the four leading roles in the upcoming reboot of Fantastic Four 2, Kate will appear as Sue Storm, known as The Invisible Woman in her super power form. 

The film, which is set to release in 2017, is the newest addition to her many recent works.

At the end of this year she has three films coming out, all of which showcase her as a main character.

The busy star was seen shopping near the same West Hollywood area on Tuesday, just the day before.

While she carried another black bag with her, it was of a significantly smaller size, although the water bottle was the exact same. 

The practical performer showed a refreshing sense of classy while casual as she wore the same type of comfortable slip-on shoes and rocked the same or a similar type of sunglasses.

Same same but different: shopping in Beverly Hills the day prior, Kate was spotted with the same water bottle and carrying another black bag,  this time a lot smaller and a lot easier to manage
